August1,1997 <br /> <br />Dear Youth Advocate: <br /> <br />Please plan to attend the next meeting regarding the "Youth Initiatives" that is scheduled for <br />Thursday August 14, 1997' - 7':00pm, Elk River City Hall. <br /> <br />The following highlights some recent action: <br /> <br />- The Elk River Park and Recreation Commission has committed to working with several advocates <br />of a skatepark in a partnership which will make this endeavor more feasible. The youth advocates <br />have organized and have formally incorporated as a non-profit association and are planning to then <br />manage a skatepark facility. <br /> <br />- A web site has been developed and is up and running. Check it out at: www. elkriver-mn.com <br />A marketing plan has been developed and a grant sought to help implement awareness of this web <br />site and how individuals, families, youth, etc. can utilize it with planning their leisure and or promoting <br />events that are positive youth leisure opportunities. <br /> <br />- Thanks to the effort of students Jared Lee and Scott Overbye, a "student to student" mentoring <br />program is being developed and proposed to the school board for implementation as an elective <br />program as part of their curriculum. <br /> <br />We will plan to hear various reports and updates on other actions related to "Youth Initiatives"! <br /> <br />Please invite anyone that you wish to join us with this process and commitment to better serve youth. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Para Black <br /> <br />Jeff AsfY <br /> <br />Chadie Blesener <br /> <br /> <br />
