Outreach event planning advances around 'Brush, Book, Bed' theme; First 5 may sponsor backpack giveaway
Summary
Committee members selected 'Brush, Book, Bed' as the preferred outreach theme, discussed pairing it with an August backpack giveaway, and agreed to form a planning committee; First 5 indicated possible sponsorship depending on target ages.
Committee members followed up on a prior action to organize an outreach event and reviewed suggested themes. Staff reported that the 'Brush, Book, Bed' theme drew the most interest. Jazmine Kenny proposed combining the outreach with an August backpack giveaway, and Marie Pickney said Merced County First 5 could potentially sponsor the event depending on the target age group.
Members agreed to form a separate planning committee to develop the event logistics. Several organizations (including First 5, Healthy Families America, and Healthy House Merced) volunteered to help distribute LOHP surveys and support outreach. The planning committee will meet separately to coordinate staffing, target populations and timing ahead of the proposed August activity.
Action items on outreach planning were recorded for staff and partners to follow up prior to the April meeting.
