Youth Program Report- Dave Hill. Dave reviewed his programming for December
and ideas for January. Programs are going well including the in school group.
This is a coed group of middle school youth who meet to discuss different topics.
Dave has heard that there may be change in the afterschool bus schedule. This
will affect his programs as will cut time available by nearly an hour and some
youth depend on the bus for transportation home. Dave like bing in the school
more and hopes the space continues to be available, he and Marie are using her
old office. The last video project wasn't as successful as Dave had hoped so will
rethink this before he does it again. Mike Allmindinger was suggested as a
contact for this project. Marie is at work again, has many projects going. The
theater group will be taking a field trip to see A Christmas Carol at the Firehouse
Theater next week. In addition workshops in career exploration, babysitting, a
field trip to Corning, and a group is being recruited for snow shoveling as a part
of the Youth Employment program.
