Department.
Everyone discussed and agreed to participate in the WACO Shopping Spree at Walmart
again this year. Chris will get the exact late on that event.
Tom Cooke reported that he had spoken with the Park Board about sponsoring two
$500.00 scholarships to be given by the Youth Commission to two high school seniors
who have shown outstanding community service over the years. The Park Board would
be interested in doing that if the Village Board would match funds, thus creating 4 -
$500.00 scholarships. Chris said that she would bring the issue up with the Village
Board and seek their support. She will report back to the Commission at the next
meeting. Pat Feichter will supply Chris with evaluation forms that are used at his school
for selecting scholarship winners.
The Youth Commission has chosen to participate in the PADS 5K walk for their 'Make
a Difference Day project. Applications will be sent out with the minutes of the meting.

in Rolling Meadows. She will report back to the Commission what the meeting is all
about.

that she had brought to the Commission's attention. She has made contact with a senior
at a nearby his school who is running a suicide prevention activity within his school. He
will tell Ashley all about it and Ashley will report back to the Commission on how we
could possibly implement the program in our schools.
The Commission has agreed to do a float in next year's Village Night Parade. A theme
