Farrah-Marie Gomes – back to mentoring – perhaps we can have <br />discussions with the local council girl scouts or 4H to form a relationship <br />with them. Carol Kitaoka can get in touch with the 4H kids. <br /> <br />Farrah-Marie Gomes suggested that if a partnership with a group like the <br />4H was established and where we’re not doing all of the work, we could <br />drop in and out and we can still have the impact. <br /> <br />Kim Schneider stated there was a discussion that they wanted help in <br />securing funding and essay writing; to have a resource of group of women <br />that they can be contacted. It wasn’t about taking over what the <br />counselors are doing. <br /> <br />Katie Nova stated that what the kids said they wanted was to have <br />someone sitting at their elbow and help them along the way and that’s not <br />what we should be doing; making sure someone is in charge of <br />everything’s need to be done and that’s not what the vision is. <br /> <br />Katie Nova explained that Kathy Peters tried to bring this up on Facebook; <br />however, it brings up an issue of liability. <br /> <br />Brooke Derby stated that she could work on something – can we have our <br />own Facebook? <br /> <br />Molly Stebbins explained that it’s possible but there are certain things we <br />need to avoid: Sunshine Law, violations, communications, content and <br />who’s going to be in charge of it, who will monitor the wording, are you <br />going to allow comments, moderation of comments – there certainly will <br />be issues. <br /> <br />Kim Schneider explained that what she recalls Kathy Peters’ intent was to <br />post things for information. It wasn’t anything about the girls commenting; <br />it would be a way they can see this and act on it if they wish. It’s offering <br />something and the girls would be notified of new postings. <br /> <br />Farrah-Marie Gomes mentioned that the content would be more of <br />networking more than it is on mentoring; suggested that we change the <br />name to networking from mentoring. <br /> <br />Kim Schneider asked if this is something we would like to do. <br /> <br />Brooke Derby stated that it would be difficult if we don’t have a website to <br />get the information out there. We could feed information to someone <br />else’s webpage. <br /> <br />Kim Schneider asked if there is a way when something new comes on a <br />page if people that want to hear about it, is there a way we can include our <br />contact info so they know who to call or email for more info? <br />7 <br /> <br />
