Youth Development Updates Barbara There is now a room charge for room use at the schools this should be clarified with schools and if nothing can be worked out we need to add this to our budget for 1999. The program managers are offering some exciting programs. We are interested in meeting the needs of middle school age group as well as including some high school youth. We are looking at recruitment, and evaluation for our programs. Vicki suggested that some programs include youth from other municipalities as she hears from young adults that more opportunities to meet youth from difterent backgrounds would have been a benefit for them. Program on budget target about $6,000 to spend in November and December. Budget Up Date The budget which was worked on in October was voted on and will officially be submitted to the Town of Dryden.
