Community Coalition Norma Turner, Susan Kirsch, Shaine Schramling, Cynthia Martin, Nita Quan, Florence Bucierka, Ida Carroll The meeting was called to order. Ida Carroll was welcomed as the new Executive Board member via telelink. Cynthia talked about the September 9 meeting. We were unable to secure Talaris Research Institute. We discussed having hospital and others come and share information about the services that are available to newborns in our community. We could have New Family Services among others and become more informed about what is out there. There was some discussion about the ICC and who is now the contact for developmental screenings – it had been Susie Rapleje.

Norma talked about having Jim Borte write up information on each meeting and get to newspapers. Cynthia talked about different programming items for upcoming Prevention Works! Meetings Norma – discussed that the November meeting is before elections and inviting legislators would be better if it was later. We will change November meeting to Monday, November 18. Angie Graff – there are going to be 5 nights in October through the Hospital for parents. One night will be on immunizations. Florence discussed the Prevention Award (will be awarded at Prevention Conference in Yakima (October 24-26). Nita Quan is presenting a workshop at the P.C. as is Cynthia Martin. Have used a lot of current programs around the state at this conference. Need to talk more about the Non-profit issues meeting
when more board members are present. Clear that there needs to be more
discussion. Norma did email a
thank you to Helen Dawley and Jennifer Zaccardo.
Norma asked where she would like an honorarium rather than choosing
a place for her. Cynthia talked about needing to thank people. Susan talked about getting an announcement to Jim
Borte and inviting media to the PW meeting. The importance of continuing
to invite media to meetings and get the word out ahead of time. Angie
asked if Forks Forum has information about meetings. George McCormick
receives PW email. Cynthia – talked about having things on local radio
station. Todd Ortloff –
looking for people to fill 1:00 spot. Angie – talked about newspaper
interviewing New Family Services for Women. Maybe a week before, Todd
could talk with our speakers – if we get them to Todd and he’ll
arrange for them to come when he has an opening. Would probably like a
lead person. CYNTHIA WILL CALL
TODD! Norma talked about last Big Event Planning Meeting
– what they are trying to do is raising community norms and how
important that is to prevention. Angie
talked about if we cannot get Tafoya (ask Fiona – Raymond Reyes –
Gonzaga). Half Native, half Hispanic – developing a support system for
our kids, long term effects. Another potential. Agenda for
