February 13th Meeting - Love is Not Abuse
We were honored at our Feb. 13th meeting to have two students from the San Saba High School FCCLA (Family Career Community Leaders of America) Program, under the supervision of Jane Carter, present their power point LOVE IS NOT ABUSE, which they will take to state competition later this year.
The presentation was excellent, the girls talented, and the SSDVTF wishes them the very best of luck in the competition.
As a result, the formal portion of our meeting was quite short. Minutes of last meeting were read. Motion to approve, BT; seconded by GH.
In attendance were Georgia Harris, City of San Saba Dove Project; Brenna Troncoso, Political Asylum Project of Austin (PAPA); Sabrina Maults, City of San Saba Dove Project; Jo Ann San Miguel, of the Jo Ann San Miguel Law Office; and Tonnie Robbins, Legal Aid of Northwest Texas.
Action items:
ALL: By next meeting please review draft of protocol and/or bring modifications, or submit them to GH via email.
ALL: Think about how to take task force to next level.
BT: Mail Tonnie revised Legal Service Providers draft
GH: Put notice in paper for next meeting.
Agency Up-dates:
GH reports that she had meet with the SS ISD re the state mandate to provide eduction about family violence in schools. GH said the possibility of organizing a teen task force was discussed and on the table. Inviting the FCCLA to present at this meeting, is -- hopefully -- a step in that direction.
BT met with KD re PAPA programs and services; also working with Community Crisis Response Team (CCRT) out of Bastrop, Lee, Fayette, and Colorado.
Next meeting: MARCH 12, 2008.
