Ravenna youth council holds first meeting

Several Ravenna youth have organized and formed the new "Ravenna Youth Council", who held their very first meeting last night. These young men and women were brought together by Ravenna Councilman Scott Rainone this year. Rainone will mentor the fledgling group for a few months as they begin to develop structure and identity. Rainone has no intention of remaining at the helm, however.

Alyssa Mauser the Youth Council's president said "Our goals should be geared toward citizens' interest". "Our job should be to help the city progress and have an impact that will start a change, and then continue that change so we'll be better prepared for the future", said Mauser, a junior at RHS.

The group has a direct connection to Ravenna City government, and can be highly effective. They intend to direct attention to public safety, youth involvement, education and recreation, and community events and publicity.

Ravenna Youth Council plans to meet at 6 pm on the first Mon. every month at city hall.
