It was discovered that Terry Dussault had caused a notice of the activity to be in the Blaine City Newsletter(Copy Attached). After Kudus were given to Terry, the suggestion was made that the steering committee should be getting similar news releases in future editions and in other city newsletters as part of our membership outreach. The first business was a review of where we were in obtaining our goals. It was noted that the outreach committee had focused on the task of building awareness in the community through a Speakers Bureau. The Speak= Bureau was to start by presenting the research and challenge of building assets in youth to various groups in our 5 city area. Eight members of the outreach committee had undergone spealaer mining from the extension service.on Tuesday,September 24. A form to list contacts for possible speaking engagements was distributed, (Copy Attached). Members were encouraged to tnalae initial contacts, and send their completed forms to Gordon Voss by October 4 so he could begin scheduling speakers. Attention was then turned to developing a task proposal for the outcome committee on structured activity. That committee had in earlier meetings produced a list of three outcomes they were interested in achieving: (1) Mechanisms/Support Systems are in place to facilitate youth giving services to their communities/neighborhoods, 2.Youth friendly facilities in place in which straetured and drop-in activities for teens can take pace, and (3)Neighborhoods develop their unique sense of identity and self sufficiency. );however, the structured activity committee had experienced several frustrations in its attempt to select a task to achievz their outcomes. Many efforts exist in the community working on these outcomes and it is not apparent that Creadrtg Cornmuniry could add value by just creating new groups to do the same thing. Also, them simply weren't enough people active in Creating Committee to tackle all the outcomes.
