Idaho Falls Sister Cities Youth Board Meeting June 27, 2017 Attendees: Wendy Boring Peter Cebull Katie Eaton Melinda Cebull David Eaton Kendra Peck Assign Points for Activities: The board discussed assigning points for non-fundraising activities such as language lessons and meetings to learn the Japanese songs. The group had decided it would be good to give points for these activities this summer. Melinda mentioned points are used to allocate funds to students and in the past have been directly related to fundraisers and community service activities. Interested students attended Japanese lessons but were not awarded points. At the last group meeting no one opposed giving points for these activities, and we said we would give points. The board will give points for the song and language lessons this summer but will reevaluate giving points for non-fund related activities in the future. The board debated giving points for learning the songs or passing Japanese language tests. We decided not to test on learning songs or language tests at this time. Student Japanese Song Lessons: Dave talked with June Conner about helping the students learn Japanese songs. She knows Japanese and would be willing to help them get the pronunciation correct. We will ask the groups what day works best and schedule a time for her to help. Next Meeting Agenda: The board discussed the agenda for the next meeting. We really need to get the hosting finalized. The student section of the meeting will be used to answer questions about hosting. The students will lead the Q&A.
