| Other Info | The nature of this day will be to allow time for you to work with community members and school personnel from your local geographic area. Toward that end, it would be helpful if you could bring knowledge of resources currently available within your community working with youth including but not limited to church outreach efforts, mentoring programs, Boy and Girl Scouts, Camp Fire, 4-H clubs, etc. It would also be helpful to know what the local schools in your area are teaching with regard to violence prevention (e.g. Second Step programs) and responsible decision-making and at which grade levels these programs are offered. If your school has a GREAT program that would be another resource. |

This program is a collaborative effort of Strong Families & Grandview School District.
Grandview United was fortunate to be connected with Tammy Fellin. the Municipal Policy Associate (social and human services, criminal justice, health care, and affordable housing) for the Association of Wahsington Cities. Tammy heard about our efforts while attending a conference in Richmond, Virginia and expressed an interest in connecting the Grandview United effort with the efforts of the AWC.
She solicited our input for an upcoming edition of the AWC Legislative Bulletin describing our efforts in October. The article has gone to print and was included in the December 12, 2008 edition of the AWC bulletin.
Grandview United would like to thank Tammy for her efforts and her contribution to our continued success. She is working hard four us on the legislative front at AWC on Juvenile Justice issues and continues to keep us informed and participating in the processes in Olympia. Thanks again Tammy!
