7. Vicki Alexander brought up the fact that there are a lot of things for parents and kids
to do but it is a problem really knowing what is available. She suggested the
possibility of a booklet of information available for parents to see what is available for
summer programming. The Youth Bureau publishes various listings of programs and
camps that are available through them. Trumansburg hired two youth to complete a
booklet of all youth activities in Trumansburg- Ulysses area, that project went very well
for that conunnunity. Youth can also get youth involved in radio publicity to discuss
youth happenings.
