motion for approval and Jim Foss seconded. Motion passed. For

Coordinator' s Report :
Sandy introduced Wayne Jozwiak, who works at the Kenneth W. Young
Center. Sandy reported that she had attended Bob Pohn' s funeral .
Barbara Pohn had been a Community Service Board member.
Thirty three families had been helped at Easter. This was the
lowest number in years, mostly due to better screening and
because some eligible clients made plans to be with family for
the holiday.
Sandy also said she had attended the Youth in Action Conference
in Chicago and a Disaster Training Clinic in March. The 'mock
disaster' was a tornado touching down in Busse Woods . Sandy
indicated that the Fire Department is willing to conduct a
training for the Community Service Board to prepare them for any
potential disaster they may be called upon to assist with.
Intern' s Report :
Sharon stated that her Thursday class is over and she will be
able to attend the Community Service Board meetings at least
through August .

The council met in April to critique last summer' s events and to
plan for next summer. Rainbow Falls was the most successful
event. More teens are needed to participate. The events will be
geared either to the junior high or to senior high school
students, as the age difference is too great to meet the needs of
both at a single event.

Board was held and the results were as follows :
