Karen will be on KONP talking about Communities that Care, but will have a plug for Parent Ed Summit. It will be on Art Beat. “The Art of Parenting.” UW response to Strategic Plan for Parent Education Committee – very surprised that there is this much activity. Had assumed that Karen Meyer and Communities that Care has instigated. Many of the other communities that are involved in the study don’t have what Clallam County has in terms of Community Coalition. Social Development Research Group – Research arm of School of Social Work. Jim Borte – talking about potential trainings for membership (get Jim to email me what he’s got) – Survey for membership and maybe branch beyond that – individuals and agencies. Increase knowledge and skills. Chamber of Commerce – many retirees in community. Pam mentioned United Way video – could be a nice way to promote Prevention Works – interviewing agencies that are participating. Potential November meeting – Mom’s Club – Community Project – put together bags that go home with women upon discharge – include information on breastfeeding. Candyce Jack, chairperson – ready to roll with it. Interested in community adopting World Health Organization Baby Friendly Initiative.

Moved to have Norma go back to Network about working more closely with Prevention Works. Sent letter to endorse Safe and Bright Futures of Clallam County for Healthy Families. WA State Department of Health having Tobacco contract to develop strategic plan. Community Assets Form, Data that goes with the form. Needs to have available for PW Meeting in October. Read the data, then fill out questionnaire. Next Board Meeting – Tuesday Oct. 19 at 9:00 a.m. Norma will talk about what the different board members had in terms of ideas. Florence Community Readiness Survey – What kinds of things and where PW could be helpful in next set of processes. Comprehensive Prevention Plan – hoped to use the Communities that Care trainings for this process . . . so it wouldn’t work. She passed out West CAPT grid and steps and starred what she would like for PW to look at for strategic planning. Process in beginning – representing prevention funding entities – task force on long-term funding. Better to form the plan and then bring the group back together. Florence was asking about how to move forward with this. Karen said we may want to solicit folks to be involved in this process. Deadline to complete this is December 30. Florence will do some outreach to get a larger group – how to participate in this long-term Prevention Plan.
