NYM Youth Council Update
The Youth Council met on 5-31-08 see notes (nym-yc-meeting-notes-5-31-08.doc) to finalize plans for the Pickup for pledges campaign. So far, we have $150 in pledges! We are excited with the amount of support that we are receiving for our efforts.
People are willing to show support when you are doing something proactive and not just putting your hand out. The NYM Youth Council is filled with bright and enthusiastic entrepreneurs and we are getting ready to make an impact!
Please show your support by joining us Fridays in June at Central Park. We will begin to pickup litter promptly at 4:30 pm. Consider making a financial contribution to this fundraising cleanup effort! $.50 a minute is what we are asking (pickup-for-pledges_pledge-form.pdf).
Showing our youth that we support them will encourage them to stay engaged in community issues enabling NYM to continue to be a thriving community where community members of all ages feel that their needs are met. Supporting youth now will go a long way towards ensuring that NYM will continue to grow and prosper.
