Dartmouth Youth Commission Minutes
December 3, 2003
New Business from the floor:
- Kevin reported that he received a call from Kiddie Kampus, a daycare provider in Dartmouth, requesting holiday donations for needy families again this year. . Kevin noted that last year, with short notice, he was able to fulfill this request as a result of generous donations from Town Hall employees.
Kevin informed Kiddie Kampus that from now on, the Youth Commission prefers to offer support to needy persons in Dartmouth through the newly created Alvin Glaser Memorial Family Assistance Fund. Kevin suggested Kiddie Kampus officials encourage families needing support to apply to the Glaser fund.
Kevin informed Commissioners that he would be on vacation December 8th through December 12th.
The Commission spent the next 1 ½ hours addressing, labeling, stamping and stuffing envelops. These envelopes contain a letter to be sent to select individuals requesting a donation to the Alvin Glaser Memorial Family Assistance Fund.
The next meeting of the Dartmouth Youth Commission is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, 2004 in Room 314 of the Dartmouth Town Hall at 7:00 p.m.
Ms. Alves made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ms. Swanson seconded the motion. Voted unanimously at 9:05 p.m.
