PR Committee Ed reported that the PR Committee has a ton of ideas. There are a whole lot of ways for us to get our name out there. One suggestion is to include a flyer with Meals on Wheels in order to present information to Seniors. Also, suggested meeting with the Volunteer Bridge to make a presentation to them. Next Meeting August 8, 8:30am - at Emporium Finance Committee Program Committee Facilities Committee Nick reported on the Finance Committee. They met on July 18. Bob Lawson with YMCA Capital Fund Raising joined the committee. Bob recommended that the committee separate into two committees; Finance and Fundraising. Bob told the committee that the YMCA of the USA has a YMCA Capital Development Planning Manual and he will get a copy to Chad. He recommended that the Y develop a Case Statement which is a written document stating what the community's needs are and what the Y will supply to meet these needs. Chad has a rough draft of this document. The Y also needs to identify key individuals in the community to serve on the committee to develop this Case Statement. With three million dollars to raise, Bill gave some statistics to the committee regarding those funds; typically 90% of the fired come from 10% of the donors. He also offered the idea of selling naming rights to the building or rooms within the building. Michelle gave the Program Committee update. This fall's programming will potentially include Youth in Government for High School youth. Sunday, August 4, is National Youth Day mn by the Boys and Girls Club at Lion's Park. The Y will have a booth for popcorn and games. We will also participate in the 2nd Annual Family Fest on August 7, at Lion's Park from 6-8pm. It will be held in conjunction with the City Recreation Dept. We will offer pony rides, games, etc. In June, approximately 300 people attended this event. We are discussing hosting a Senior Expo to be held at the Senior Center. We would like to provide some water exercise classes for local seniors. Summer programs are going well. We have between 35-45 children each week. With that enrollment figure, we are not losing money and hope to have this program evolve into a Fall school release program. We may make use of Camp Manitou for our Fall program. The School District currently runs their own programs. Chad said that it is possible to partner with them, it just hasn't been successful as of yet. Chad reported that the committee has not met since our last meeting. The Committee is looking at two building locations and trying to see which location makes the most sense. Still trying to schedule "walk throughs" of those locations. It is important to make this choice as soon as the committee meets for its walk through. While the Committee makes the recommendation, it is the Next Meeting, August 8th 7:00am - at NRG Next Meeting, August 28 8:00am Next Meeting, August 30 11:30am
