Current Meeting and Program Schedule
Picked this up from Heather D. after the 08/11 Illumination program; thought it'd be a good idea to post it here.
Events in blue are held at the Beaumont branch; those in red are at the Tates Creek branch. Not everything is red or blue because not everything is at a library (like the shopping trip, vor example) and some things have already happened. (A date in bold is one that hasn't happened yet, but after the date of the event, it will be un-bolded.)

Another TAB Notice
"Hi, everybody!
The first meeting of the Teen Advisory Board is Thursday, September 1 at 7:00 pm. This will be our introductory meeting for new members. We are going to try to make it more of a social event than a meeting, so I'm hoping that all of you can come and help welcome new members. I'd like as many people as possible to come at 6:30 and help set up. We'll have pizza and other refreshments!
The "Get Real, Get Fit" programs are coming up in September and October. These are going to be library-based programs for teens and their families about nutrition and family fitness. I'm looking for parent and teen volunteers to help with the program. Part of the program is a short video about fitness and nutrition. I need parent and teen duos to help lead a brief discussion of the video after we watch it. The programs will take place at:
• 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 – Tates Creek Branch (231-5580).
• 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 – Beaumont Branch (231-5570).
• 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 – Eagle Creek Branch (231-5560).
• 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 – Northside Branch (231-5590).
Please let me know ASAP if you and a parent can help out at any of these programs. I also hope that many of you will sign up to be participants in these programs. It would go a long way to prove the need for Teen Programing in the library!
Finally, I just got an email about a possible project for TAB this year. Take a look at it and see if you can come up with any ideas and think about whether you guys might like to work on a proposal and program for this grant:
Starbucks Foundation Offers Funding for Youth Literacy Programs
Deadline: September 1 and March 1, annually (Letters of Inquiry)
Through its Giving Voice program, the Starbucks Foundation(http://www.starbucks.com/foundation/), a philanthropic vehicle of the Starbucks Coffee Company, will fund programs for youth, ages 6-18, that integrate literacy with personal and civic action in the communities where they live. The Starbucks Foundation invites Letters of Inquiry from qualifying organizations that work with under-served youth in one of two areas: 1) Arts & Literacy -- programs that innovatively address literacy and learning for the21st century, provide high standards of excellence in mastering basic skills, and promote youth voices through a variety of venues; and 2) Environmental Literacy -- programs that offer place-based approaches to addressing environmental literacy and empower youth to be heroes for a sustainable environment in their own communities.
The foundation supports registered, non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organizations in the United States,as well as Registered Charities in Canada, that deliver services to youth and address at least one of the program's action areas.Grants range from $5,000 to $20,000.
Visit the Starbucks Foundation Web site for program information, application procedures, and eligibility questions. RFP Link: http://fconline.fdncenter.org/pnd/3498/starbucks

TAB e-mail notice from Heather!
"I hope everyone had a great summer! I want to let you all know about a few things that are coming up at the Library.
1. There will be a
TAB meeting on
Thursday, August 4 at
7:00 pm at the
Beaumont Branch Library. This meeting is to plan the
introductory meeting for new members (which will be on
Thursday, September 1 at Beaumont). One complaint we've had in the past is that the first introductory meeting to new members is very boring. So, I want you guys to run that meeting. You can decide what we do and you can talk to the new members about TAB.
The TAB will be undergoing some big changes this year.
We will be joining forces with the Tates Creek Branch Library. The children's librarian there, Katie Camp, wants to start a TAB too, so we've decided to just share the one we already have. We will alternate the meeting locations between Beaumont and Tates Creek and Katie will be co-sponsor along with me. I hope you all can help me welcome a lot of new faces this year as teens from the Tates Creek area join our group.
2. On
Monday, August 8 at
7:00 pm a local artist will present a
Calligraphy workshop. Then on
Thursday, August 11 at
7:00 pm, she will present a
workshop on the medieval art of Illumination. Both programs are at the
Beaumont Branch library and are
free of charge. Just call
231-5570 if you would like to register to attend.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all again!
