Gwen C. tried to synthesize the information for group – everyone who provides any sort of youth services – to do a directory for youth where they hang out, Safeway, Skate Shop – a lot of services if youth are plugged in. Trying to reach those who aren’t already plugged in. Karen thought it was only going to be online. Gives agencies who want to outreach to youth more knowledge about where they are and when do they hang out. Florence questioned the duplicity of directory. They are working on it through grant funding. Florence & Karen suggested that we do an endorsement for a specific application. Karen talked about him coming to Rock N Roll and the discussion about what he's doing. Jim – suggested inviting him for the April PW Meeting so we could hear more about the project.
