Hello Africans and Friends of Africa.

This is an opportunity for our youth to participate in the decision
making process of what they want or would like to see in such
a great community of theirs.  Being a player instead of a spectator
will enable them shape their own destiny.  They are tomorrow's
leaders.  This is the right time to begin building the type of
community  that they will lead sooner than later.  If they do not begin
today, someone will for them.  If that happened, you and I know the
rest of the story.

I encourage all parents and guidance to encourage and provide
support to their children or wards to participate  in this all-important
forum.

Cheers and God bless!

Mayor Sue Bauman is holding two Youth Forums for Middle School and High
School age youth the week of June 28th.

The forums will offer youth an opportunity to talk with the Mayor about:
*  what they like about living in Madison,
*  what they think would make Madison a better place for teens,  and
*  how they can be involved in their community.

The format will be similar to a listening session with an opportunity for
Youth to participate in a couple of interactive activities with post-it
notes and flip-charts.  Youth in attendance will receive a $5 coupon for
the mall food court and a free movie pass.

The forums will take place:

Monday, June 28th    12:00 noon - 2:00 p.m.
West Towne Mall - in the old Kinney Shoes next to the Disney Store

and

Thursday, July 1st    10:00 a.m. -  12:00 p.m.
East Towne Cinema

If you have questions, please call Mary O'Donnell, the City of Madison
