Summary
Council discussed showing the documentary 'Hopeville' on Aug. 29, 2026, considered co-funding a $450 puppet show for children, reserved Family Game Night slots and planned a June 27 community health-fair table to promote prevention programs.
At its June 9 meeting the Litchfield Prevention Council outlined a slate of community outreach activities for summer and the coming school year, including a documentary screening, a puppet show for young children, Family Game Nights and a presence at a June 27 community health fair.
Council members discussed showing the documentary 'Hopeville' on Aug. 29, 2026, at OWL as part of literacy- and prevention-focused programming. Caroline Wilcox Ugurlu said she is promoting the screening at the library and coordinating with school faculty. The council discussed co-funding a $450 puppet show to accompany the screening for younger children; the minutes record a motion to seek co-funding of $450 (Motion: Burns; Second: Waugh) but do not specify the recorded vote or the final funding authorization.
Gary Waugh reported that the community center director will reserve three Family Game Night spots for the council next school year (September, before Christmas, Spring 2027) at about $350 per event; council members discussed inviting surrounding communities. For outreach later this month, Emma said she will try to secure a van to bring partner programs to the Community Health Fair on June 27, 2026, including Flip the Script and Problem Gambling resources.
Council members indicated next steps include confirming costs, vendor availability and tabling logistics; motions recorded in the minutes do not include associated tally details. The council did not adopt a final outreach budget at the meeting.
