Agency Announcements

Paper reports were distributed on behalf of Child and Family Connections. According to the reports, there were 33 referrals for the month of May and that is up from April. Several training opportunities are available; handouts on these were distributed.

Mary Anne Wilson distributed Help Books and reported that agencies that need more can come by United Way to pick some up. She also reported that she has a group of U of I students working on updating the Grant Directory this summer; the directories should be done in time to coincide with the grant-writing workshop.

Old Business

Minutes from May were approved with a few amendments. There were two spelling errors.

There was still additional money to be spent before June 30, 2006. The council decided to allocate $250.00 to the United Way in support of the Kindergarten Readiness calendar. The remaining balance will be spent on office supplies and postage stamps.

It is proposed that 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. There will be an official election of these proposed co-chairs at the first meeting in August.

New Business:

The council decided to extend the length of the September meeting to allow time to review and revise the strategic plan and set new committees.

The council discussed changing the meeting day so that we could utilize meeting space at Developmental Services Center. This was yet to be determined. The new proposed day is the third Wednesday of each month at the same time.

Next Meeting

There is not a regular meeting scheduled for July. Incoming and Outgoing co-chairs and the LIC Coordinator will meet July 5, 2006.

Adjournment
