Approve September 1 minutes
It was MOVED by Copeland and SECONDED by Folsom -Hill to approved the October 6,
2011 minutes without changes. Motion PASSED unanimously.
GFI Action Planning Update:
Magallan introduced the Youth and Family Development Center concept to the committee.
This is not a new concept, nor is it a stand -alone program, but is a part of the comprehensive
approach. The key to the success of the Youth and Family Development Center is breaking
down the walls between existing community programs and organizations. The coordination
and promotion of this concept can attract funding, especially when it follows proven, effective
models.
Old Business:
Yakima School District Parent Forum
There was a very good turnout at the Parent Forum and many great questions asked by the
parents. They seemed genuinely interested in the GFI mission and activities. The next
parent forum will be March 13, 2012.

New Business:
The subcommittee structures will be changing with the transition from planning to action. The
new subcommittees will be marketing, resource directory, community empowerment
infomercial, and website. Subject matter experts will be selected to advise the new
subcommittees.
The marketing strategy would involve televising GFI Steering Committee meeting on YPAC,
the branding of the GFI logo, and design and development of the website. Televising the
meetings needs to be discussed by the committee, and there were no objections from the
committee members present. The marketing strategy will be discussed in more detail at the
next meeting. Adkison recommended brainstorming with Randy Beehler on marketing
strategies.
The committee agreed that the logo project should be given to the art students of the Yakima
School District.
Date for next meeting
The next Steering Committee meeting will be the 2 Thursday in December, December 8,
2011 at 4 p.m. The meeting will be held at Central Washington Comprehensive Mental
Health.
