Assessment and Awareness Workgroup - Member Franz reported that the data has been analyzed and members are working on various narrative sections for the report. Once a draft has been compiled, the workgroup will review to identify gaps and/or editing that needs to be addressed. The workgroup hopes to have a final draft by May. There will be a work session prior to the regular March meeting to review the status and steps. Family Services Workgroup - Vice President Wasko reported they met on February 10th and discussed specific plans for the Festival, including tasks to complete and volunteer commitments. Ideas for parenting education were discussed, and Wasko noted that a questionnaire would be offered at the Festival to help assess residents' parenting education needs and interests. Sister City Workgroup - Member Chen stated there was a meeting this morning and they discussed the Lunar New Year celebration at Harbor Bay Landing. The Chinese Consul-General will not attend the Festival and a $250 sponsorship was accepted by the organizers, rather than the $500 initially approved by the Board. The event is Saturday, March 4, from 12 - 4pm. Vice President Wasko and Member Hollinger Jackson volunteered to staff the table from 11:30-1:30, and Member Chen will staff it from 1:30p.m. on. He will contact Member Hanna for assistance. The Alameda delegation for a 10-day Wuxi trip has been tentatively planned for early May; however, there is no confirmation of the Mayor's schedule and Member Chen is planning to follow up with her. Concern was expressed that the trip could conflict with the Festival of Families. Member Chen asked if the teacher recruitment letter will get on the City's website. Staff will meet with IT staff and report back. He also asked if the new Library will have a small artifacts section for Sister City gifts, or did City Hall have one. Staff will research. It was also reported that members from Asuchio, El Salvador may visit in the Fall 2006. This will be handled mostly through a lay group at St. Philip Neri, which is planning to meet in March. The delegation will be small, probably only one or two visitors because of difficulties getting visas. 4.
