The meeting was called to order at 4:05 P.M. by Vice-chairman
Gaurnier.
Mr. Bredbenner moved the adoption of the minutes of the previous
meeting as mailed to members . Seconded by Mr. Flynn. Carried.
The Director reported on the Festival Playhouse which has been
temporarily suspended until summer. It may be operated in the form
of a summer stock company. The Moose Club has been notified of this
action. The membership had dropped to about 30 members and over half
of them were under 15 years of age .
Mr. Woodside moved that we place the Festival Playhouse funds in
an interest account instead of leaving them in a checking account.
Seconded by Dr. Gragg. Carried,
Mr. Hill reported on a Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic meet-
ing held March 25 with Messers Adams, Sebring, Daniels, Gragg, Hill
and Forstenzer concerning the possibility of the schools paying their
funds through the County Youth Project rather than through the Youth
Bureau. The Youth Bureau would then have 125OO to match for other
projects . This change does not make any problem for the Board of
Education since the Mental Health Clinic will receive the same amount
of money from the schools . This was agreeable to all present and it
is understood that the 1956 budget will be set up this way.
Mr. Woodside moved that Miss Reeves be nominated as delegate to
the Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic Advisory Board. Mr. Gibson
seconded. Carried.
Mr. Woodside moved that Mr. Flynn be named as alternate delegate
to the Mental Health Clinic Board. Mr. Gibson seconded. Carried.
The West Side Community House has requested ` 150 from the Youth
Bureau for part-time help during the summer.
Mr. Woodside moved that Mr. Hill suggest to the petitioners to
first request their funds from the Social Service League and the
public schools . Seconded by Dr. Gragg. Carried.
The Director has been approached by some High School youngsters
about the establishment of a Teen Center. Mr. Gaurnier appointed
• Mr. Flynn as chairman of a committee composed of Mrs . O'Connor and
Mrs . Malti to investigate and report on this situation. Mr. Gaurnier
remarked that Mr. Hill as Executive Director of the Youth Bureau is
an ex-officio member of all Youth Bureau Advisory Council committees .

The Director announced tentative plans for a Summer Music Camp
in Stewart Park. The swimming, tennis, golf, Bergholtz Tract, and
other programs in that area would be tied into together. The Camp
would be open to youngsters in Ithaca and Tompkins County. The Camp
would start July 5 and run until August 12, hours 9 A.M. to L. P.M.,
Monday through Friday.
Mr. Gibson moved the Director' s progress with the Music Camp be
approved and that he be encouraged to set up his committees and pro-
ceed with the program. Seconded by Mrs . Grover. Carried.
On motion the meeting was adjourned at 5:10 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Marilyn Cameron, Secretary
