Members were reminded to participate in the mentoring survey. The network could receive a $1,000 grant by having members participate. The survey is being conducted to gather info to aid in the development of a mentoring program.
The 1st Annual Family Golf and Grill event was a success. Over 40 people attended. Thank you to everyone who came out.
A review of the Open Forum-Education was provided. As a result of the forum, the council is exploring the opportunities for involvement with the Avid (?) Program offered at MCHS. The council will work with Kande McKay. More information will follow.
