The meeting was called to order at 7 24, and a brief discussion
of the meeting with the Board of Selectmen took place. Mary proposed
BIU 1 that the Youth Commission meet informally with the Selectmen and
Anal the ad hoc committee It was decided that we would invite the
Selectmen and the ad hoc to a Sunday Brunch on March 21 at Mary' s
house (14 Demar Rd. ) , at 11 am. We will be responsible for supplying
the food etc.
It was also decided that the talent show would be handled by
subcommittee, and brought before the entire YC only if problems arise.
DRIN/4Oa& Our new major project is the investigation of the Town Warrant
article on Drinking on Public Property. Alan read all the Articles
in the Warrant that applied to Youth, and the YC chose two (Drinking-
