other quarter. Middle school teens made up two-thirds of the attendees and one-third were high school

Teens signed in at the Y.A.C. Booth and were given a patriotic themed necklace. Free food was available for
the first 300 teens including hot dogs, soda, water, chips, and candy. Activities for this event included games
such as a basketball shoot out, Karaoke, an inflatable obstacle course, an earth ball, and a lounge area.
Giveaways included free raffle prizes, goody bags, patriotic colored candy and pinwheels. Entertainment was
provided by Systematic Jams Productions.

1) Have a wider variety of activities for participants.
2) Conduct a pre-event meeting with Committee members to review responsibilities.
