The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. Trustee Prochno introduced Jackie Pierce
from the Elk Grove Park District. Jackie is in charge of teen programming and Pirates
Cove. Jackie gave some background on what she does for the Park District. She offered
to help the Youth Commission with any activities that use Park District facilities.
The Youth commission voted to sponsor a dance on May 3, 2002 for Junior High aged
students. The dance was originally scheduled to be held at the Teen Center. Jackie
suggested switching the location to the Pavilion. She stated hat the Pavilion would give
the teens the opportunity to also play basketball and participate in other activities with far
more space. The Commission agreed with Jackie. Jackie offered to find a DJ for the
dance and share her experience with us. The name of the dance will be "The Last
Dance." A $2.00 admission will be charged and a donation for the food pantry would be
appreciated. The dance will run from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and will be staffed and
chaperoned by Park District employees as well as Youth Commission members. There
will be a concession stand. Pizza, chips and soda will be sold to help defer expenses. A
dance sub-committee will meet on Monday, March 18`h at 7:30 p.m. in the Chemick
Conference Room to work on details pertaining to the dance.
The Commission also agreed to focus on issues related to Junior High aged students.
High School issues seem to be being addressed in the community.
