It was noted for the record that the Beanie Baby collection that was donated by the Youth
Commission for the Live Auction at the Camelot on the Green Dinner Party raised
$625.00 for the Beautification Fund,
Chris Prochno advised that she will include copies of the Camelot on the Green Progam
with the mailing of the minutes so that the Youth Commissioners could see their names
on the program.
On the subject of what type of facility the youth of the community would prefer to see
put in place would be a dance club over a coffeehouse. Marge Hart has conducted
various focus groups at Conant and Elk Grove high schools and had been advised of this
conclusion. Chris Prochno as well visited various classrooms at Elk Grove Village High
School and came up with the same end result. The Youth Commissioners advised that
they would like to be included in any future focus groups that are planning on being held.
Cheryl O'Malley will contact or pass along any future meetings on this subject. The
Youth Commissioners advised that they would offer their support in any way the Park
District would like. Chris has the name of a local band that would be willing to play at
the dance club. Bryan has the name of two bands. Cheryl will call Chris with more
details after she talks to Marge.
On the subject of"Pen Pals", Bryan could not find anyone willing to be a pen pal other
than himself. Mike offered to be one. Amy Herrick offered to talk to her English teacher
to see if she would ask her students if they wished to participate. Barb suggested making
a flyer and distributing it at the Pavilion.
