Kristin advised the Commission of the following:
• Photo contest will begin the 1st week of June.
• She will be attending the virtual conference by NUSA, Neighborhoods USA and will report back.
• The online Rain Barrel Class has 40 people registered. We are providing 25 free rain barrels, which
will be available to pick up from City Hall next week.
Kristin suggested the Commission concentrate more on involving school students in activities. She felt
this was an area that was lacking for the Governor's Community Achievement Award. The goal to have
these ideas in place by the August meeting of the Commission.
Several ideas were discussed including:
• Creating a mascot for the Commission to use in school activities and engage students.
• Researching to see if there are any performing groups that would apply to the programs
• Researching the possibility of getting involved at groups at the Library and participating in the
Summer Reading Program for 2022.
• Renew the Recycle More contest.
• Contests for essays, poems, music, etc.
