Youth Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />Page 2of2 <br />IX. Teambuilding — We broke into small groups and played a tricky tower - <br />building game. <br />X. We had a visit from the Pet Mayors, Arlo and Hops, and their owners. <br />• We asked each family about why they ran for mayor, what they <br />enjoyed, and what suggestions they have for improvement. <br />• The Pet Mayor Election helps set Louisville apart in a fun, positive <br />way. Some ideas for how to engage more include participating in <br />the Parade of Lights, using the election to highlight other issues like <br />voting, animal rights, importance of adopting pets, etc. We could <br />also produce educational videos around these issues. <br />XI. Volunteer Projects for the Upcoming Year — We discussed some of the <br />typical volunteering activities YAB is involved in (the Sweetheart Dance for <br />example) and mentioned that monthly projects have been trickier to come by <br />since COVID. Members are encouraged to look into possible activities. <br />XII. Brainstorm Annual Project Ideas <br />• Pet Mayor — Board members who were serving on YAB at the time <br />of the election discussed how it went, and agreed we'd need to take <br />a lot of the marketing tasks off of Ginger's plate if we do it again. <br />• Other project ideas include: <br />i. A music event with several bands on different blocks around <br />town, highlighting different types of music and/or different <br />cultural styles. <br />ii. Earth Day Festival <br />iii. A weekly or monthly activity in which participants would get a <br />kit with a prompt/activity that they could do in Louisville. <br />iv. A Club Fair with booths from different sports activities, and <br />also music, theater, dance, etc. so kids could try different <br />things out before committing. <br />v. Doing something with the Green New Deal <br />XIII. Discussion Items for Next Meeting — In November we will hold elections <br />for officer positions, so come prepared with a short speech. Those interested in <br />Marketing Manager should bring 2 pieces of marketing material (such as a poster <br />or flyer —can be for a real or fake event). We will also need to decide on our <br />Annual Project so be thinking about what you'd like us to commit to, and what <br />feels feasible with our limited time frame. <br />XIV. Comments from Liaisons <br />• Contact info sheet — please make sure everything is correct. <br />XV. Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 8pm. <br />
