COMMITTEE MEMBERS None 3 PALM DESERT YOUTH COMMITTEE APRIL 6, 2008, APPROVED MINUTES B. STAFF Ms. Scully inquired if the Committee would be interested in assisting with the 9-11 Concert sponsored by the Sister Cities Foundation. By consensus, several Committee members would like to participate in the manner that they did last year. Ms. Scully asked the Committee if they wanted to participate in the Golf Cart Parade. The Committee responded that they would participate if they could wear their own shirts and receive recognition as the Youth Committee. Ms. Scully suggested that they take another month to consider whether they want to enter a float in the parade. They need to keep in mind that there are many school activities during the time in which the Golf Cart Parade is held and that constructing a golf cart is very labor intensive. This item will be agendized to the May meeting for further discussion and determination. The Committee added that there was no interest in partnering with the Senior Center on a float. X.
