VI. BRAINSTORMING PROJECTS
Discussion of a You Are Not Alone event for Edmonds Youth hosted by the EYC and
other branches of the city government. If we were to host an event like this it could be spread
across the downtown area to engage local businesses. Push the event to next school year so we
have time to plan. Have different areas for activities, maybe at the civic field park.
We should do Ivy Pull again maybe in late May. Reach out to parks and rec managers and
see what is available for May.
