CO-SPONSORING COMMUNITY FORUM ON BI-RACIAL YOUTH: This item was taken out of order to hear from Audrey Lord-Hausman, representing the Alameda Collaborative for Children, Youth and Families. Lord-Hausman provided an overview about ACCYF, stating it is a provider and community clearinghouse for information and ideas on services for children, youth and families. Youth working on an ACCYF-sponsored magazine project ("Teen 'Zine") asked about the community's understanding of bi-racial youth. From that question came the idea of a community forum on the topic. The general idea is to provide a place and a program where kids and parents can discuss and educate one another. A psychotherapist has agreed to work with the ACCYF to develop and facilitate the program. It was suggested that the SSHRB would be a logical co-sponsor based on its mission and interests. A planning committee is forming to meet with facilitator and a Board representative is invited if co-sponsorship is approved. The forum is proposed for Fall 2006, but a specific date has not been set. In response to questions regarding demographics, target audience, outreach and speakers, it was noted that it is still in the very beginning stages of the forum and that the committee will be working to answer these and other questions. M/S (Franz, Wasko) and unanimous to co-sponsor with ACCYF a community forum for bi-racial youth. President Bonta will be the Board's liaison with the planning committee, with help from Vice President Wasko and Member Chen. The first planning meeting will take place sometime mid-March. 3A. CO-SPONSORING THE FESTIVAL OF FAMILIES: Vice President Wasko provided a "Save the Date" flyer for the Festival of Families, scheduled for May 13, 2006.
