a. Youth Recognition Night – The deadline has been extended to Tuesday of next week.
The Youth Commissioners will call the schools or talk to the teachers to remind them
about it. The certificates and frames will be picked up by Commissioner Johnson. We
have 17 applications in so far. Commissioner Wilson is willing to write up the script for
the awarding ceremony. Invitations need to be sent out to the people who were
recognized. Commissioners Johnson, Wilson, and Martin will come in to work on the
scripts, certificates, and the invitations. Commissioner Lee volunteered to be the MC for
the awarding night.

the meeting was interesting. They were happy that the Youth Commission was able to
attend.

events.
