Chris Anderson has recieved a letter from the Board of Select-
men stating that they willLbe unable to finance the Youth Commission
publish 12 000 oopies of the revised Youth
with the $132 neededito �
Directory unless the commission can demonstrate a definite need
for this expense. In response to the letter, Steve Politi proposed
that a letter be sent to the Selectmen stating that there is a defin-
ite need for the booklet, and requesting that the Selectmen allot
for us the $1432 upon the assumption that the Commission will try
to finance the directory through outside sources as much as possible.
This proposal was rejected in the discussion which followed. It
was agreed by the Commission that there is a need for the Youth
Directory, but we discussed the possibility of publishing it in a
more economical form. Chris Anderson will be looking into the
suggestion of printing the booklet in the Minuteman, either as part
of the text or a separate tabloid section. It was also suggested
that the directory could be put in the bank of the Town Report.
The booklet itself could be reduced from its present length,.of 32
pages. Or the number of booklets printed could be cut down.
Plans for the Bicentennial Youth; Day were discussed. Some
of the suggestions mere a soccer match between Concord and Lexington
youth, a bicycle rice (along the route of Paul Revere's ride?) ,
a concert and a Youth Picnic. Mr. Robbat, the LBC co-ordinator
at the High School, will be invited to the next meeting.
The Youth Calendar of Events has; been established in the
Lexington Minuteman and Youth organizations in the town have
been informed of its existence through a letter sent by the Youth
Commission.
The next meeting of the Commission will be held Thursday, Decem.1
ber 5, 1974 in G15 of the Town Office Building at 7:15,
