The Youth Fund Advisory Committee is off to a great start! On Sunday, September 21st, we had our first committee meeting of the year which was planned and led by the Youth Fund officers. This year the officers of the Youth Fund are president Rebecca Temerario, vice president Kaitlin Flanigan, secretary Evann Heidersbach, and as publicist, myself, Mike Miraldi. After introducing the officers and staff members, the Youth Fund members introduced themselves. Looking at the new members of the Youth Fund I was reminded of my first committee meeting approximately one year before. Listening to their input during the meeting I could tell that each member seemed excited to learn about the Community Foundation and how we are going to help the community this year. Whether through the review of grant applications from teachers or during one of the community service field trips we have planned, I think that this will be a successful year for the Youth Fund.
