SUMMARY:Youth Rally
DESCRIPTION:The Youth Rally-Hollister is for ALL Youth in San Benito County. \n  \nMission: To create fun and engaging activities throughout the year that will install values\, community connections and leadership opportunities for the youth of San Benito County. \n  \nVision: That the residents of San Benito County would rise up and meet the needs of all youth in our community by providing free activities throughout the year\, on a monthly or quarterly basis\, for youth who may not be able to afford them. In doing so\, adults would mentor youth and provide them with positive role which would  encourage them in their physical\, emotional\, mental and spiritual well-being. \n  \nOur goal is to make this a FREE event and in order to make this happen we need community volunteers to organize and resource their contacts to donate time\, raffle items\, games\, activities\, and more. I am currently working on setting up an account the Community Foundation for tax deductible donations to be accepted. \n  \nHow this came about: \nAfter the stabbing death Andres Guzman\, a local Hollister teen\, there was much public outcry and the community shouted ENOUGH! \nThe local Neighborhood Watch page on Facebook was blowing up with comments about ENOUGH being ENOUGH. \nMany people provided input on the fact that there is little for youth to do in our community that is affordable to the low-income population. Youth need to have positive reinforcement and a sense of belonging. Without that they put themselves at risk of being lured into gangs in order to feel they are part of a family. Years ago the community held an annual Teen Rally. \nAfter the downturn in the economy many of the agencies involved no longer had the funding or the manpower to continue organizing the event. The last Teen Rally was held in May 2006. After reading all of the comments\, I stated that I was involved with the Teen Rally Committee back then and\, if the community was willing to step up to the plate\, I would be willing to take the lead to help revive the Teen Rally. \nA Teen Rally Brainstorming meeting was held on Saturday\, August 24\, 2013. At that meeting those in attendance came up with ideas on what types of activities should be included\, who could be contacted and what date the event should be held. \nYouth in attendance decided they wanted this event to be open to youth of all ages and not just teens. This way\, the older youth could mentor the younger youth. Ideas consisted of: Dance competitions\, Battle of the Bands\, Art Wall\, Poetry Slam\, Tie Dye Station\, Craft/Recycling Art Table\, Sports Challenges\, 3on3 Basketball\, Pick-up Volleyball\, Laser Tag\, Dunk Tank\, 50 foot Ice Cream Sundae\, Treasure Chest (Free Flea Market) and much more. \nOur goal is to make this a FREE event and in order to make this happen we need community volunteers to organize and resource their contacts to donate time\, raffle items\, games\, activities\, and more. \nLike us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/youthrally-hollister

SUMMARY:Meeting for Radio for San Benito Wednesday\, Sept 4
DESCRIPTION:Meeting for Radio for San Benito Wednesday\, Sept 4\n\n\n\n\n  \n \n\n\n\nCritical Meeting to determine if there is sufficient support to make the application to the FCC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadio meeting Sept 4 at 6:00pm at the San Benito County Free Library.\nThis meeting is for those who are interested in working to make a radio station for Hollister\, San Juan\, and beyond a reality. Time is  short but it can be done with the right support. Needed are individuals who have the expertise to assist in preparing the engineering portion of the FCC application. \nOne of the needs identified in Vision San Benito's Vision Summit was the need for access to local news and information. The creation of BenitoLink has been one response. Having a local radio station with local programming would also be a way to provide access. More people have radios than computers. Radio is available to you in your car and at home. The programming would be up to the team who organizes the station. This will probably be an all volunteer effort. \nThere is a need for people who are willing to assist with the application process\, raise awareness\, and raise funds. \nCommunity Media Access Partnership may commit to being the nonprofit organization in the application. \nThere is an engineering section of the application which will require specifying the frequency which will be broadcast\, the height of the antennae\, power of the signal. This will cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. We have had advice from Don Mussell\, who helped to create several stations in our area\, KUSP\, KZSC\, KAZU and KKUP and many more across the country. He has told us that it is possible for us to submit a successful application\, there is a frequency available and\, if we locate the transmitter appropriately\, we can cover Hollister and San Juan Bautista and beyond. In addition we could put programming on the internet. \nCMAP may be in a position to assist by providing funds to build the station\, though they may need to be reimbursed for all or part of their funding. \nIf you have any interest in starting a radio station\, please come to the San Benito Free Library at 6:00 on Sept 4. \n  \nLet's make it happen!
