The minutes of February 25 were approved as circulated.
Nancy Teply announced that CFY has consolidated the former two accounts
into one account at Larchmont Federal. There is a total of $1195.29, of
which $778 is SAFE Rides and $417 is CFY.
Ruth Santos said that three people will share a steering committee chair-
manship of CFY next year -- Judy Call, Lee Korchin and Anne Martin. Susan
Vieser will continue as Secretary and Judy Zern will become Treasurer.
Appreciation was expressed to Nancy Teply for her years of service to CFY
as Treasurer. Ruth and others will handle Membership and attempt to deal
with the problem of how to increase membership and attendance. A meeting
with Dick Martin and Susan Amlicke, of People Meeting People, was reported
where mutual concerns and the possibility of a joint meeting was discussed.
CFY needs more publicity to let people know who we are. We need specific
projects on which to focus, as in the past. Perhaps we should consider a
large fall meeting to which additional people from community would be in-
vited.
Carole Brodin said she and Helen Kaplan had discussed the need for updating
the party phamphlet to send out before next fall's parties.
We are continutin to discuss the possible establishment of a Youth Council,
as proposed by Delores Battalia.
Carole Brodin informed us that Norm Kolb is strongly supporting starting
a Human Relations group consisting of young people from all ethnic and
social groups, which could meet in homes to discuss issues of concern.
Ann Tannen said that Oasis will open again in the fall, probably in late
October. It needs creative thinking and lots of work . . . and workers.
Bill Reilly pointed out that CFY got the most publicity from presentations
to the entire community, like this year's talk by George Cohen. Another
successful program was the open forum panel discussion with kids talking
about parties. Nancy S. suggested "What You Wish You Could Tell Your
April 28, 1938
Parents" as a topic. Barbara Pearson supported the idea and suggested
a large heterogeneous group. Perhaps talking to George Holub about repre-
sentatives from the athletic teams would result in a diverse group.
Bill Reilly said that Helen Mohan distributed a flyer to Senior Citizens
to elicit names of seniors who have no "safety net". She received no
response. Eleanor Dreyfus said seniors need transportation, especially
to doctor's appointments, shopping and libraries. She has a list of
needful seniors.
Ann Tannen announced that RID - Westchester has dissolved and has sent us
the balance in it's bank account - $991.76 - to use toward the SAFE Ride
Program.
SADD is offering a breakfast the morning after the Senior Prom.
SAFE Ride student volunteers are interested in working with the Hommocks
students to encourage them to choose not to drink.
Nancy Teply announced the 25th birthday of the YES organization. They are
having an open house on May 5 for all high school students. There are
plenty of summer jobs available.
Brigitte Dickinson said the Mamaroneck Free Library has a new director
named Joan Grott. She also said the Mamaroneck Keeps Program will expand
to a daytime program.
Mary Ellen Wallace said the Senior Center is doing very well -- has a new
director and many great activities.
