The Key Youth Board Minutes from June 29, 2011

Because reading our board minutes is the best way to become acquainted with what's going on at The Key, here are our most recent meeting notes.

Youth Board Minutes - June 29, 2011

AMY and ALEX have signed the purchase agreement to sell 303 Water!!!!  Thanks to Jim for his help, and a special thanks to John Ophaug for his expertise, provided in-kind.  The youth board will send John a thank you gift.  
 
YMCA kids triathalon is July 9th, from 8-11am.  GEORGE, ARYE, SAVANAH, CLIFF are volunteering.  BEAU and PATRICK may also participate.
 
Yarn Bombing!  If you don't know what this is...do a Google image search and see some awesome pics.  The NAG is doing a fiber arts show, and has approached some downtown businesses to see if we could "yarn bomb" in front of their places.  The Key has some knitters interested in working on the project.  AMY will be teaching knitting to anyone who wishes to learn this Friday at 5pm for Art Project, and upon request.  No word yet on what day the project itself will take place.
 
YIP surveys.  For those who took pre-surveys over the winter, it is time to do the post-survey.  For new board members, or those who did not yet take a YIP survey, please take the pre-survey. The websites are different, and both will be listed above the computer on the right. AMY will be checking in with you in the next few days.
 
Nfld Retirement Center would like to do a project with us.  One idea is to find out if there are any knitters who would like to join us for the yarn bombing project.  AMY will also contact them about a possible Tea @ the Key this summer.
 
Youth Board Retreat: We are still having a hard time pinning down a date that works for everyone.  ARYE will check in with Tommy about getting people's summer schedules.  GABY is looking into possible camping sites.  Tentative date is August 20th, but it doesn't work for FRANK.
 
Everyone needs to sign the Thank You card for the Carleton ACT center for their incredible work on the Carleton Garage Sale this year.  AMY received our portion of the proceeds...which was $8,656, a new record!
 
CONCERTS:

 Listener would like to play July 7th.  The youth board does not feel we can pay their asking price.  OLIVIA will call and ask if they would accept $100 minimum, plus an overage at the door.  If not, we'll try to get them during the school year.
 
PROGRAMS:
Movie-related: Star Trek Marathon this Saturday, beginning at 3:00pm.  RACHEL L. will bring all the "good ones."  Come by, stay all day, snacks!
 
Art Night: Friday at 5pm.  Kellen is getting his wisdom teeth removed, so AMY will be teaching knitting to anyone who wishes to learn!  
 
Book Club: no book club on Monday July 4th.  Book Club will resume on Monday, July 11th at 7pm, with our new book "Devil in the White City."   RACHEL W., AMY, FRANK, OLIVIA, MAIRIN, PATRICK, CLIFF, RACHEL L., ARYE, PETER, and GEORGE should read to pg. 75.  There is still time!  If you want to join book club, let AMY know right away.  (Peter and Arye, your books should be here by Monday).
 
Game Night: Tuesday at 7pm.  MAIRIN and GABY are the new leaders of game night.  This week is a Tetris tournament!  PETER, SAVANAH, PATRICK, SPENCER, AMY, and JORDAN have Wii consoles.  Tetris-related food and prizes.  Open to all youth ages 12-20. Check out the Facebook event page here: http://www.facebook.com/woldumr#!/event.php?eid=223674410999520
