Christy introduced us to a guest speaker, Kara Schallock. Kara informed us of a lady
by the name of--Trinka Porrata who would be visiting the Caldwell area and host a seminar
on drug abuse. Kara wanted the help of the council to help promote the seminar. As a
group we were interested in helping promote the seminar. Kara gave some of us flyers to
pass out as welL
• Zach then updated us on the book drive. He said that he had taken out the
application process of the whole book drive. The idea wasn't liked very much so we pushed
it back to the application process once again. Caldwell so far updated that they were getting
in books. Vallivue on the other hand wasn't doing so good so Caldwell shared ideas with
Vallivue to get it going at the schools. We decided to add boxes to City Hall and the
Chamber and see if that will help bring in more books.
We then moved on to the involvement of Greenleaf with in our council. Christy will
be writing a letter to their government teacher inviting them to join. As a council we agreed.
The next item of business was service projects. Lots of ideas were exchanged about
food drives, Halloween, Christmas and many other ways to go about our upcoming projects.
We decided to focus on the book drive and come back and narrow our ideas for upcoming
projects instead of having such a broad variety.
We moved on to Chris with his plans for budget. He had met with the mayor prior to
the meeting and made an outline for the council funds. Chris listed our priorities and aloud
us to order them the way we saw fit. We decided that l st-service projects, 2nd-Events, 3�d_
