\nActivity 3: Establish Youth Awareness Newsletter and Mailing Database<\/p>\n

Coordinated Community Meeting:<\/em> in light that we need shelter for youth \u2013 but it will not be happening this winter, I would like to use this opportunity to bring in all the agencies and public who is interested in this conversation\u00a0 – for the purposes of coming up with a fall back plan during the winter. I see this as an opportunity to strengthen our community ties and to pull the community together to solve this community problem. Alan Corrick, pastor at DOH and known personally to many of these organizations will facilitate this meeting. (July 13, 3:00 at FRM)<\/p>\n

Newsletter:<\/em>
\nMay 12th<\/sup> one went out to all,
\nJune 22\u00a0 – to all partner agencies \u2013 to update them about the set back in construction dates<\/p>\n

Grants:<\/em><\/p>\n

Alaska Mental Health Trust Grant: <\/em>I submitted this, $10,000 for mediation and family counseling services for clients of The Door who cannot pay. They changed the due date to 9\/1. I contacted them and told them that our construction date had changed \u2013 but they said no worries.<\/p>\n

BHAP & ESG: <\/em>is potentially forfeited due to the change in construction. I contacted AHFC and need to notify them officially. As per our conversation, I have written a letter requesting the salary for the Program Director and why. In a follow up call – It does not sound promising.<\/em><\/p>\n

BCP: <\/em>\u00a0Because of the Basic Center Program grant application I have been working on many different fronts. In order to complete it \u2013 one has to work on budgets, business plan, organizational flow chart, MOAs, policies, etc. So a great deal of work has been getting done. We will continue to work on this so that next year we will be ready for it and not have to pour so much time into it.<\/p>\n

Visitor Industry Charity Walk: <\/em>We made nearly $300.00 without even trying. We could make more next year with a little effort???<\/p>\n

Storage Unit: <\/em>3 AmeriCorps members helped us move our items out of an unsecured trailer \u2013 to a secure storage 6\/13.\u00a0A big thanks to Danny and truck to head up moving.<\/p>\n

Logo & Stationary:<\/em>\u00a0 We paid Damian $150.00 and a $25.00 Amazon gift certificate. We ordered some stationary and cards with our logo.<\/p>\n

Mail Chimp:<\/em> Our next newsletter will come out both via email and mail chimp. We only have 29 folks who have signed up to receive our newsletter using mail chimp.
