Interfaith Youth Core Business/Sub Meeting CUMC

• Proposed Agenda
  

Per email from Cheryl: 

Attached is a document I will send out to the group after I update the e-mail list.  Feel free to send edits before or after it is distributed to the larger group.  I will make new copies for the next meeting.

I propose we hold a business/sub meeting this week.  I am sending this to those that may be interested in attending.  Please feel free to disregard if this does not interest you. 
Proposed date, time and place:
Tuesday Aug. 11th 5:30 - 6:30 at Christ United Methodist Church (I know I can reserve a room there and we can pick another place for the next meeting)

Alternative times if not enough people can make it on Tuesday
Thursday Aug. 13th 5:30 - 6:30 at Christ United Methodist Church
Saturday Aug. 15th 10 -11 am at Christ United Methodist Church (I will be out of town, but can live without being there)

It will be important to move through the agenda finish on time and set another meeting for any tough decisions that arise.

Agenda - work in progress, send additions, let me know if you can not or do not want to take the lead where I added you:

                Chris Popp and Larry Mihm have offered to help design a page
                There may be a youth willing to collaborate on the page
    * Social networking tools like Facebook
    * Place for other organizations to network (ie. all of us could host interfaith events and advertise there)
