Pending Projects:

1. Parent Assembly - Things to work on:

-Reserving Wood Hall for 2 evenings (Tues and Wed.)

-Victoria will speak to John Burgess and Stacey Dillard to inform them of our plans and get the Hall reserved.

- Jackie will talk with Sanda Kotulak about working together during Red Ribbon Week and setting up components and invite her to our next meeting.

-Victoria suggested working with the schools to give extra credit to the students whose parents attend.

-Presentation on drugs & alcohol should last about 30 minutes.

-Possibly have teen parenting coordinator from Clovis, Jackie or designee on teen dating violence, someone about STD’s ; with each speaking about 20 minutes. Parents would be invited to speak with any of the presenters (who will each have an information table) following the presentations… so the evening could be within a 3 hour time frame.

- food should be served.

2. Help to advertise and support the efforts of Crime Stoppers and perhaps

begin a neighborhood watch. Ideas:

- advertise in Esto y Eso

- do radio spots

- put out flyers and possible magnets or key rings with the phone number

- perhaps assist them with their budget someway

- Victoria will contact the person who attempted Neighborhood Watch before and ask how we might help. Jamie will get the name and number to her.
