Penny called meeting to order at 6:45 p.m. Introductions were made.
Bonnie Hill talked about the ice skating program, transportation to the Rink and
recruiting of the kids. In 1998, 115 kids skated. So far in 1999, 75 kids have
signed up. Funds help cover staff and transportation expenses and kids pay
amount for skating. Parents are invited to participate, extra hands are always
welcome when it comes to tying skates.
Allen Green talked about the Conservation Corp Program - how it works with the
kids working for and being paid by the Town of Dryden and the supervisors being
paid by the City Youth Bureau. The materials are paid by the municipality or
organization getting the structure. He talked about the different play structures
and the bus stop shelters that the Corp has built.
Diana Radford, Freeville Trustee, wrote saying that the Village of Freeville would
like another play structure, this time at Groton Avenue Park, if it is possible. All
talked about the different projects in the past and how the project was chosen.
David asked Allen when will the project get selected for this summer? It was
decided that Allen should come back in April with the choices and we will
discuss. That will give David and JoAnn time to advertise and interview the kids
for the Corp.
