Youth Advisory Committee Logo
The Staff noted that in our origonal training session that the development of a logo would help promote the YAC and
it's activities. The logo could be placed on t-shirts, banners and flyers. Staff recommended that the Committee
brainstorm and discuss ideas of developing the Logo. The Committee came up with such ideas as having a contest
where the best design wins a prize, or having a parent design the Logo. Committee member Ross motioned to have a
contest for the Logo. Committee member Rubert seconded the motion. Committee accepted the motion.

having a Spring Concert for Teens.
