Home My WebLink Aboutnewsletter 1997 winterU • nfield Community Currents 1997 The ECC Has a New President! Hello, my name is Joe Schehr and I am the new president of the Enfield Community Council. I am writing to let you know that the Community Council needs new members, we are an open community group where all people have an equal voice. We are especially interested in recruiting parents who use our programs. The Council meets one evening a month to discuss our general business and planning needs. We also need individuals who would be interested in serving on program committees such as summer camp, enrichment, teen, and harvest festival. We also have other specific tasks we need assistance with such as making phone calls, doing registration tasks, assisting with mailings, etc. Our most current need is for individuals to serve on the Summer Camp Committee. Although you may be looking at snow out your window, we are beginning to plan how Enfield kids will spend their summer. Last year over 95 youth participated in the summer camp, we are anticipating at least that number this year. We need input on decisions regarding fees, Elise Skalwold, Edit scholarships, staffing, activities and the length of the day. We also need to design a registration system so we know the number of youth who will attend early enough to hire an adequate number of staff. I would like to invite you to attend the next Community Council meeting: March 20th 1997 7:00 PM Enfield Community Center If you feel as if you can not make the commitment of serving as a member of the Council please spend some time thinking if you would be willing to serve in another capacity. Perhaps you would be interested in serving on a specific committee or helping with registrations or mailings. This is your community, Let involved. we need new members if we are going to continue to be able to offer our current array of programs. Please feel free to call me at 273-3350 if you have any questions. We'll be looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting! Submitted by Joe Schehr, President Enfield Community Council i The ECC Provides Many Services! The Enfield Community Council is a non-profit community organization which provides a variety of social, recreational, and educational programs for Enfield youth and families. The Community Council was founded some twenty years ago by a group of parents looking for activities for their children. They decided that we needed more opportunities right here in Enfield for our children and started a play group for preschoolers. Over the years our programs have grown to meet the needs of working parents, teens, the school, and the community at large. .We have worked hard to find funding for our programs to supplement tax dollars so that today we have an annual budget of $86,000 to provide a real variety of programs for Enfield residents. Our funding comes from a variety of sources including: the Town of Enfield, United Way of Tompkins County, New York State Division for Youth, Tompkins County Youth Bureau, fees, fundraising, „ and donations. We try to offer programs which are affordable for all Enfield families. Continued on the next page..... Winter 1997 1J W D! ENMLD RESIDENT We are seeking an Enfield resident to serve on the 'Recreation Partnership Board." This group helps to make funding and programatic decisions about the sports and camp programs of the Ithaca Youth Bureau.

WINCH DearTEntleld Residents, Here's wishing you a happy, healthful, and suc- cessful new year. It is a time to take stock of our resources and plan for future needs. This hopefully is the same plan whether looking at a family budget or a county budget. With a new chairperson, Barbara Mink, it is also time to reflect and head off in new directions and to improve on past programs. Barbara has committed to take the Rural Affairs Committee's results and put that information into programs. I wish her well in that endeavor. As a person previously car- rying a large committee as- signment load, I appreciate Barbara's combining of com- mittees to make for less meet- ings. Elected officials and staff will have to be well pre- pared and spend committee time and involvement wisely. This is one area where Barbara and I think very much alike. This year will be very interest- ing, and I hope very produc- tive. Let me hear your thoughts or please write to me with your ideas. Your input is valuable. Thank you and I hope that you too have a good year. Sincerely, Daniel M.
