2009 EPYC Meeting
Tuesday, January 6, 2009
El Paso Youth Council had its first meeting of the New Year on Monday, Jan. 5 at our Richard Burgess Library branch. Mayor John Cook spoke to our teens about himself, his career and the city of El Paso. His presentation was very interesting and our teens had lots of questions for him. Mayor Cook ended his presentation with singing and playing of his guitar. EPYC teens then divided up into groups to discuss an issue they would like to focus on as their Teen Community Service Project, which they will present to the EL Paso City Council in May at the end of their EPYC terms. Project discussions were lively and animated and ended only when the Library informed us it was closing time! EPYC plans to continue their discussion and settle on a teen issue or up to three issues they would like to address, plan and focus on and present to the City Council.
