Nancy reported that Delores Battalia is thinking about establishing a Youth
Council to commemorate the Year of the Child in 1989. Ruth Santos said that
she and Benita Aarks and Eary Savage were in the process of evaluating the
programs in existence for the youth of our communities -- to clarify and
identify any duplicate services. Our problem is that we're fragmented,
with three separate communities to coordinate. we offer many of the same
programs as Rye, but we are organized differently. A report will be forth-
coming.
Frank Stilo informed us that he was told by Ron Tocci that there is some
money available for community projects concerning drug and alcohol education
and abuse. Frank stressed the importance of addressing house parties and
teen-age drinking as increasing problems in our community. The police
need the cooperation of parents.
Nancy told us about a questionnaire mailed to senior citizens in Scarsdale
to access their unmet needs. Eleanor Dreyfus emphasized seniors' need for
transportation.
The nominating committee for next year will consist of Ruth Santos, ;nary
Savage, Judy Zern and one additional member.
Mary Ellen Wallace reported that the Senior Center has a new director, and
is offering daily meetings, trips to Atlantic City and parties.
Caroline Silverstone reiterated the need for us to find our own solutions
to the need for a youth advocate-type position. we have the Community
Counseling Center which provides man benefits to the community. Delores
Battalia asked her to mention the need for a Chairperson for the Year of
the Child '89.
Alice Aodel announced that the Summer i'iusic Theatre will operate again this
year with the same staff at Sts. John and Paul.
Committee on the Arts is planning a Street Fair in i•iay offering crafts,
