TOPIC DISCUSSION ACTION Meeting called to order 7:05am. Cedric Wilson 1st Agenda and minutes approved Ken Ebel 2nd Opening Thought Tom McKinney Committee Updates The Program Committee met with Chad Lanners and Todd Schoffelman regarding Youth in Program Committee Government. The committee is very serious about proceeding with this program. The next step is Ken Ebel to meet with the schools and find a teacher interested in proceeding with this. Great opportunity for students to see how the system works and to participate in a model legislature. Chad reported on Day Camp Manitou. Approximately 65 children are currently signed up from Elk River and surrounding communities. Without a site such as the Emporium, we are not able to offer families before and after care or a three-day week like last year. As we move forward with programming these are valuable components to offer. The Senior Expo drew approximately 50 people. One element to develop out of the Expo was a "Senior Day at the Y". Five seniors joined us at Northwest for exercise, lunch, and a Senior Aerobics class. Transportation proved to be a concern. Several seniors were not able to get into the van and were not able to attend. Sue Kostanshek added that most seniors don't believe a YMCA will happen. They have to "see it now". More publicity would help. Michele reported on Elk River Family night, a collaborative between Elk River Rec. and the YMCA. While the turnout was good, with approximately 170 people attending, the weather may have caused some to stay away. There were pony rides, moonwalk, games and the YMCA Camp staff served the food and staffed the booth. A positive change from last year was the ability to spread activity areas out over a larger area. The next Family Night is scheduled for August 27, 2003. Volunteers will again be needed for that event. Things are in place fbr the upcoming Sherburne County Fair. Thank you Ed Stoutenburg for payment of the application fee. This year's booth will be inside, a much better location than last year. Joni Lawrence has volunteered to coordinate this activity. This is a wonderfid event, a great opportunity to showcase the Y.
