* Ideas for this year's Job Shop: How to fill out an employment <br />application; information on internships and summer jobs; try to tie <br />in PW Day /Job Shop with school curriculum (needs to be flexible); <br />strengthen ties with UO Career Development. The best idea of all: <br />Find out what students need and /or want, and tailor Job Shop to <br />meet those needs and /or desires. <br />* Target audience: 9th grade, but be open to students of any grade <br />or age if they want to participate. 8th grade seems a bit young <br />for making career choices. First step is to talk with counselors <br />and career development guides at high schools and LCC and find out <br />which students they recommend and what topics they believe will <br />work best. <br />* Other issues: We need to find a good place to hold Job Shop. The <br />ideal place would have several small "classroom" areas where par- <br />ticipants could work without being disturbed, plus a larger common <br />�,� ► off area for the speakers and for the general public to see what's <br />�o going on. We want to integrate Job Shop with PW Day as much as <br />possible. Signs can help inform the public about Job Shop. <br />* Job Shop Subcommittee: Sandra Gleason will coordinate, with help <br />from Eric Jones, Sue Rhyne, Donna Stark, Lynn Bryan, and Ann <br />Richart. <br />C. Schools need to be contacted ASAP. Donna Stark will edit and mail <br />a letter to schools this week. The letter will inform schools that <br />the event has changed (e.g., no hot dogs, some rides eliminated to <br />reduce risk to City and general public, sensitivity to funding <br />issues, etc.). <br />d. Other publicity: Sue Rhyne will include information in next issue <br />of What's In the Works; Eric Jones will prepare articles for April <br />and May issues of Newsface; publications and calendars of events <br />for senior citizens need to be contacted ASAP because they have a <br />long lead time; neighborhood newsletters also need info ASAP; try <br />approaching What's Happening with "bulldozer fantasy "; Eric Jones <br />is working with grocery stores and fast food restaurants to try and <br />round up sponsors for printing info on grocery sacks, tray liners, <br />etc. <br />e. Traffic flow /crowd control was discussed. The planning group <br />agreed to move some children's activities (e.g., assembling pipes, <br />coloring, etc.) to the transportation bays. The main entrance to <br />the event will remain the north door to the large conference room. <br />Dick Hubbard will lead a tour of the PWM /PWT yards at the next <br />planning meeting. <br />f. Coloring contest is labor- intensive but important to involving <br />children in the event. Biggest need: a permanent mounting surface <br />for entries. Dick Hubbard will arrange 4x8 panels that can be <br />
