Teen Advisory Group - November Meeting Notes

Hey YAs, the TAG met on Saturday and here is what we discussed!

The fundraising at the Durham Fall Fest was a great success!  We gave glitter tattoos to many, children and adults alike!  We earned nearly $100 to use for Young Adult programs and events.  Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time that day to help out.

Tentative programs for Spring 2014 were discussed and when I needed suggestions for another program in April making mini herb gardens or mini terrariums was suggested.  A great idea!
