Garren stated that having the Billiards Bash during Spring Break is a bad idea and that it would lower the attendance of the event.The majority of the Committee seemed to agree with her. CM. Yniguez stated that holding the event on a Friday night or a Sunday night when there was no school on Monday would be a better time to have the event. CM. Garren stated that she has contacts for DJ's for the Billiards Bash. Wierschem asked how the Committee wanted to promote the Ski Trip and the Billiards Bash. CM. Chapman brought up the idea of pre-sale discount tickets at school before the night of the event. CM. Garren brought up the idea of having prizes as incentives for the first thirty people at the door. Goss suggested advertising a Pool Tournament. CM. Gill stated that promotion will work better when the students rather than the staff do the promoting. The Committee would promote the events using flyers,posters,and by word of mouth. CM. Garren stated that promoting the events during Basketball games is a good way to get the information to the other students and she offered to promote the ski trip at the next game. CM. Seals also stated that using Channel 30-Youth Forum to advertise upcoming events and Parent Letters would be some other ways to promote the events. CM. Thuman said he would look into making arrangements for Police Reserves or Crime Patrol to attend the Billiards Bash. The Committee agreed to help promote the events and would like to put together a sub- committee to work on the event. There was no motion for the Teens Events. The events will be placed on the unfmished section of the next agenda statement for further discussion and review. Brainstorming and Planning Recreation Coordinator Wierschem wanted to take the time to review a Teen Forum that happened back in 1995. Wierschem summarized the Teen Forum that was held several years ago and went over the top ten teen issues that were identified at that time.
