April Event Planning: There are no egg hunts planned locally (we had food concessions in the past), therefore it was agreed by Commission members to roll our April event into May where we will be involved with two events (Bike Rodeo & Mud Madness). Youth Commission – 4/5/06 Page 2 May Event Planning: We are again teaming-up with the Cambridge Kiwanis Club for their annual Bike Rodeo, which will be taking place on Saturday, May 20 at the Cambridge City Park large pavilion. We will again contribute bike helmets to the event. We will donate $200 toward the purchase of the helmets. This was approved on a motion from Tut Turner and seconded by Leslie Leppla. Tim will place the order (70 helmets) and the Kiwanis will make up the difference. We will be holding our 5th Annual Mud Madness Challenge on Sunday, May 21. There is a new location this year. We are now going to be at the Byesville Village Park. Registration will begin at 12:30PM and the games will begin at 1PM. (See enclosed flyer). We will have 3 courts this year. Youth Leadership students will be in charge of registering kids at their schools. We will also be adding John Glenn this year. We will find a Byesville organization to run a food concession. Getting donations from various businesses to purchase t-shirts for the participants. More details to come.
