Old Business

Minutes from April were approved with a few amendments. Cheri Adams and Carol Carlton were both left off the attendance and it was requested that we change the wording of the reference books to Early Intervention Desk References.

The LIC’s budget must be spent no later than June 30, 2006. The council decided to allocate the remainder of the money in the following ways:

• Christy Lee will let the families in the Down Syndrome Network know about the family scholarship money available to be used to go to conferences and seminars. She will also email PROUDD and the Autism Network.
• The council will spend up to $500.00 on books to be donated to the University of Illinois Family Resilience Center and to Developmental Service Center’s family resource library.
• The Child Find Committee will spend up to $300.00 on lunches for medical professionals while presenting them with the Early Intervention Desk Reference.
• The LIC Coordinator will spend the remainder of the money on magnets and stickers with the council’s logo and information on it.

Christy Lee will continue on as the Parent Co-Chair for Champaign County and Felicia Gooler will take over as Professional Co-Chair beginning July 1 st.
