YOUTH COMMISSION AN ACTION PACKED YEAR
The Lexington Youth Commission is broadly charged with carrying out
programs which may be designed or established to meet the opportunities ,'
challenges , and problems of youth in Lexington
The commission took the initiative this year and provided a number
of new programs to the Town, as well as continuing several established
programs Highlights are summarized below.
In February, a Drug Education Night, featuring four inmates from
Concord' s Northeastern Correctional Institute was attended by
approximately 125 people .
In April, Youth Recognition Awards were given to High School seniors
Joseph P Crimmins, Anne Doherty and Rebecca Rotberg, and a special
award for inspiration and courage was given to Danny Murphy.
In May, a plaque was given to Dick Albert, the Channel 5 Weatherman,
for his "Use Your Smarts" program.
In May and June, over $1, 300 was raised for a scholarship fund to
send a Lexington youth to the Minnesota Outward Bound program.
Throughout the school year, a pilot Kids-To-kids program provided
a high school friend to several elementary school youths
Over the summer, the successful Hire-A-Youth program will be repeated,
and is expected to provide employment to about a hundred Lexington
youth
All in all, this was a good year for the Youth Commission and we
look forward to working together again next year.

"Good Show" 2
"Great"
"This was a good opportunity to spend an evening with my son instead of going
into two different directions."
" Staff member of REPLACE counseling center I feel that there is still too
much denial on the part of the parents to acknowledge that their own young
people may be experimenting or using and abusing drugs There seems to be ,
a lack of openmindedness about the subject in the first place That attitude
seems to be that my kids would never take drugs This attitude seems to
boost the use even more Societies messages that boost peer pressure and in
the media, advertising boosting us not to enjoy who we are, the way we are."
" Could this program he given in the schools during the day For all students?
Perhaps it would be more •beneficial."
" I wish the inmates would come and talk to 7th graders in health classes "
" Take this program to the schools and make it mandatory that each pupil see it!"

7 " Should have something like this as a regular school program "
" It was good, I learned a lot "
" As a health education teacher, I would have appreciated advance notice of
this program so that I could have urged my classes to attend the program."
" Elton and Mark who told about their own life in a personal way. i felt the
young could relate to more "

MEMORANDUM

Town Manager
SUBJECT Funding for the Lexington
Youth Commission - FY 83
This letter is in regards to our meeting of 12/18/81 , concerning the request
for funding of $700.00 for the L Y C in FY 83.
The L Y C. recognizes its changing role in serving the community. The L Y C
also recognizes the need to justify the funding request.
The L Y C. has planned a drug education evening for February 4, 1982, at the
Clark Jr. High School The drug education evening is set up as follows
7:30 p m A Lexington Police Officer speaking on drug abuse, statistics,
and drug laws.
8 15 p m Four prison inmates from the Northeastern Correctional Institution
in "Project Stop"
9 00 p.m. A movie entitled "The Perfect Drug "
The L.Y.C. is in the process of designing a Needs Assessment Survey to distribute
to junior and high school students and their parents, in order to aid the L Y.C.
in determining specific issues and concerns of Lexington 's youth
The L.Y.C. is seriously considering reinstituting the Mock Town Meetings for
the youth to participate in
The L Y C would like to plan additional evening programs, but we find it
difficult and frustrating to plan any activities without an actual budget
The L Y C. feels the request for funding in the amount of $700 00 is
justified, as we the Youth Commission want to service the community as
effectively and confidently as possible.
In closing, I would like to add that the L Y C. plans to uphold the fine
tradition of presenting the Youth Award in April , 1982
Respectful4ly submitted,
Ronald B yells,
Lexington Youth Commission
