Committee: Chairman Prosser; Trustees Dannels and Petrocine Attending: Chairman Prosser; Trustees Dannels and Petrocine Also Attending: Mr. Hal Hancock, Father Fred King, Mrs. Ott of Tri-Mark And Chief of Police Robert W. Ault ESTES PARK STUDENT ASSISTANCE ASSOCIATION: Further information was desired to augment the presentation by Hal Hancock and Father King at the last Board of Trustees meeting. The "preamble" of the Association says: "In order to insure Estes Park, the city, surrounding area and its citizens that the peace, the quiet, and the usual business pursuits will continue, a group of interested citizens have joined heads and hands to try to add insurance and assurance 'things' will not only continue as usual, but be even better: This band of citizens 'who care' feel now is the time to use the proverbial 'ounce of prevention' in the field of a possible major problem... TROUBLED YOUNG PEOPLE...BOYS AND GIRLS...LOST YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN." Leaders of the Association propose to do the following things on the pro- posed budget of $6,000-$9,000 for the coming summer: 1. Rent a house or building near the business district. 2. Hire a couple to operate it. Preferably, the woman should be a nurse of sorts. They should be of an age to be able to talk to young workers and visitors to the community; yet they should have the interest of both the "Establishment" and the young people in mind. 3. They will cooperate with Police in seeing that all workers in the community have ID Cards, complete with photo. 4. They will help create worthwhile activities for young working people. They will work with the Park Service, Forest Service, Church Groups, and even individually -owned entertainment features to make the ID Card worth actual money in admission price. 5. Granting that most of the young people who come here are "good kids," they will work with this nucleus of good kids to "talk with" or "deal with" the difficult type of young man or woman who arrives in the Village. 6. By having proper training and experience, they will be able to counsel with young people who have problems: dope, drinking, improper rooms or room -mates, no job, no place to live, unfair employers and the like. 7. The center can fill a community lack by providing a service for the "drop -ins" with problems. The center could offer a meal, or money for a meal, offer a spot to clean up, shave and perhaps do laundry, counsel the lost and care for or arrange for the care of the ill. r RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Page two Advertising and Public Relations Committee Nay 1, 1970 8.
