A member of the By-Laws Committee showed up and we spoke briefly about their issues which will be moved formally to the next meeting.

He then � spoke about possibly changing the amount of years served on the council before you can run for the executive committee. Due to Mattie's absence the Scrap book and Survey will be moved to the next meeting. The next item on the agenda was the Hope's aoor Training. Due to the overwhelming 13 volunteers from the council, the Hope's Door Training Program decided to give us as a council one training session to ourselves. A training session will be 3 hours each and there will be 7 meeting dates. Brenda was our guest and spoke briefly about these topics and will stay in touch with the council. The training sessions will look mainly at the questions "how can we and what can we do to reduce violence in our community?" Following our discussion on the Hope's Door Training we shifted our attention to the training of a new council in Kuna. Due to Tom's absence we will discuss this item November 3ra Our next discussion was a presentation on a few of our guests. We had 3 Caldwell attendees that were thoroughly interested in getting the council involved in making a Frisbee Golf Course somewhere in the Caldwell area. Catalina brought to mind the possibility about adding this to the Pipe Dream Park. The council agreed and this idea was accepted. A Thank you goes out to our guests • and we look forward ta working with you in the future. A motion to adopt this idea r . was made by Rand and a second was made by Brad. The Mayor addressed the councii with the next idea for the council. A past member from Ukraine, Marina, has started a MYAC in her community. They are having great success and would like to become Pen Pals with our council. We will speak about this more next week. Our final discussion was to the San Jose members. Tickets have been purchased and the Mayor discussed the itinerary. Members will report back to the City Council and give a bri�f presentation of there time in San Jose.
