Members of the
Healthy Youth Task Force met for their regular monthly meeting on March
4, 2009, at the
Keeley
Library of B.M.C. Durfee High School. Following the agenda of
planning items, members were treated to the debut of the
www.FallRiverYOUthZone.com web site, launched just days earlier by
members of
Team F.R.E.S.H.
who put the site together. "This is a long-awaited accomplishment,"
noted Healthy City Coordinator Dr. David Weed. "For the first time,
young people in Fall River will be able to access information on
resources and events specifically for youth," he noted. The site
includes links to the various youth groups, local agencies and
information on jobs, food and fun things to do in Fall River. The site
also links to MyFallRiver.org, a
web 2.0 site that
permits anyone to create calendar listings or blogs. The project was
underwritten by a $3,000 grant from the
Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts. For more
information on the Task Force contact
co-chairs
Christian McCloskey at 508-324-2419, or
Jamison Souza at 508-679-0922. |
