Will be info in the Elk River Star News, and hope to make presentation to the School Board to help promote and make the program more public. There is potential for "Kids & Cops" program this spring. Police department is very interested. Welcome to Arthur Jackett as a representative of senior community and to Ruth Crowe who is new Volunteer Coordinator. Michele Bergh reported that there will be Senior Expo on May 14th, Summer Family Event will be held again, and will be an Egg Hunt as Easter Family Event. Y will be present and can be featured at Tom McKinney presented copy of the new Camp Catalog which will soon be out to the schools for distribution. Tom also noted that discussions with Boys & Girls Club for possible joint projects are nearing agreement. Two remaining concerns - transportation issue and membership requirements for Boys & Girls Club if it is to be a drop-off site for Camp - do not appear to be obstacles. Transportation is solved, thanks to St Louis Park Transportation, and the membership requirement shouldn't be a problem. Tom is confident. 2) Public Relations Committee - Ed Stoutenberg reported that Expo Booth has been secured. Will need volunteers. Will be a popcom machine. Will also be securing a booth for the Sherburne Co. Fair this summer. Tom M. noted the importance of coordination, getting enough volunteer help to be successful. He will have t-shirts and brochures available for Expo. 3) Finance & Y-Partners Committee: - Ron Touchette reported the committee met and established goals and objectives, is in the process of gathering contact list for Y-Panners Campaign (will be derived from all people who have had contact with this NorthStar Y project so far). Committee is beginning to build some relationships that will be important to long-term campaigns and capital fund campaign. Ron discussed the need for administrative support for these campaigns, phone calls, meeting minutes, etc: Committee wants to develop power-point presentation to use for meetings & group presentations. The sample Y-Panners Campaign mailing was presented. Mailing list should be ready week of March 15th and mailings will begin the end of the month. A follow-up phone call to mail recipients is planned. Tom McKinney does have a power point presentation, which can be adapted for NorthStar Y and will get it to committee for review. 4) Executive Committee Report - first meeting was held with new membership as determined last month. First major task is to collect and consolidate goals and objectives for the organization. Each committee has been asked to provide. Tom M. distributed what he has collected so far. A few changes will likely be made before final adoption. We want achievable goals and solid objectives that result in
