This subject was discussed at length. In most instances it was felt that the people had had good excuses for their absence and hopefully will improve since the matter has been drawn to their attention. The Board discussed the possibility of a change of meeting time if that would solve any conflicts. When it became apparent this was not needed the Board decided to stay with the prescribed time, the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 Due to the lack of a volunteer coordinator Jim asked the Board to consider stopping the tutoring program. Apparently it has taken a great deal of time from Scott's hours and although the need exists there is noone willing to give their time to keep the program going. Tam moved and Hanne seconded and the Board gave their unanimous approval to discontinue the program. Tomand Jim propose to write a letter to Dave Cronin and others explaining the need and the hope that the school system would take over this project. Jim and Susan are writing up a report for the Board on their experiences in advocacy proceedings in the Juvenile Courts. The Board had expressed a desire to learn more of the day to day routines of the staff, With the announcement of Susan's resignation the question arose as to the status of the Young Wcmens' Project. The Board will encourage its devel- opment through the Women's Center rather than to continue to underwrite the staffing.and development.
