Youth Programs: 
·	Julie Kulik presented an annual report on youth programs, which is actually a partial year.  There have never been more than 40 kids in the programs.  This year there were 68.  The next focus will be West Danby.  She asked if the Town Baord wants to hear about the program results.  
·	As Aimee Hendrix announced, the Inner Ring (Enfield, Danby, and Caroline) will begin to attend each other’s meetings.  Caroline’s Youth Committee meets next, on Tuesday March 27, and a couple of us should attend.
·	Linda Schoeffel passed out a 2011 year and a 2012 budget, but reported that she still does not have a final budget amount from Rick or Bob for this year.
·	Linda and Julie Kulik also said that they will come to our meetings whenever we want them to, and asked us to let them know when we’d like reports from them, etc.  Cathleen offered to be the DCC’s liason with Julie Kulik. 

Financials:  
·	Treasurer’s Report: The treasurer was not present.
·	Budget: Ted said there was no budget discussion in the fall.  Dan said that Bob Chase came to a town board meeting with a budget and it was approved.  Ted said that the DAN will definitely go over budget.  Dan said we can ask the town board for more money if it isn’t enough.  He also suggests that we fundraise and tap into the pool of goodwill in the community.

Organizations: There were no organization reports.

Committees: 
·	DAN: There was a discussion about what kind of advertisement could be put in after Ted was asked to include a classified-type notice.  
·	Scholarship Committee:  Julie reported on the scholarships that went out last year and what’s gone out this year, and said that without a budget giving her an actual amount of money to spend, she isn’t comfortable and can’t really advertise, and is capping scholarships at $100 per kid indefinitely.

Next meeting is Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 7 PM at the Town Hall.
