The cost for the two days totaled $50.00. Mr. Jeff suggested that board members be included in the conferences rather than just staff members. Mr. Tydings made a motion, seconded by Mr. Baker, to send a delegate from the board to the National Federation Conference. The motion was carried. · Mr. Jeff also discussed camping. In the past Plymouth has been involved in two types; resident and day camping. The resident camping involved 25 youth for 7 to 10 days at a cost of $600.00 for busing them to Mansfield, Ohio. It was also necessary to send staff members to the camp. The day camp lasted for 4 weeks and involved 150 youth. There are alternative plans being considered this year. Wesley House has a camp and time could be purchased for Plymouth. If this is done it is hoped that the Kentuckiana Conference will participate by sending approximately 50% of the campers and Plymouth the other 50%, The Day Camp could be expanded to serve 200 youth by li~itin£ each t wo week period to 100 daily campers. It was also discovered that 15 youth could be sent by Greyhound Bus to Mansfield, Ohio for a cost of $10.00 each. Mr. Tydings mentioned to Mr. Collins that "Youth Speaks" has a "Youth Serves in Summer Time" Program that he might want to involve in t he Loui sville Federation. · There being no further business the meeting adjourned for individual committee meetings.

Present were Mr. Morris Jeff, Mr. Jesse Warders, Rev. William Koshewa, Mr. Jonas Baker, and Rev. Allen L. Kallenbach. 1. Mr. Jeff mentioned that the Community Chest has requested a preliminary budget by the 15th of May and a final budget by the 15th of June. He had asked the present staff to review their programs and to project possible programming for the next year. On this basis, it was felt that in order to give present staff members a 2-3% increase in salary and to hir·e additional staff, we should request from the Community Chest, $72,000 for 1969. This represents a '.li 3O,OOO increase over what we will rec• ive in 1968. 2. There was discussion re '7,ardi ng the possibility of raising additional funds for the Settlement through some type of Membership System. 3. In discussing the resignation of Mr. William Robinson who has been serving as Director of Indivi dual Services, Mr . Jeff asked that we consider hiring a person to work in the area of Programming. This would free the Executive Director of pres sures in this area, enabling him to devote mor e adequate time to administration. 4. The Officers acted favorable upon a request by the Federation of Settlements which was to hire a person to serve as liaison man during ten weeks this summer. Such a person who might well be able to serve as a stabilizing force in the community, would be salaried through an emergency request from the Community Chest. The request will be made of the Chest as s oon as approval is obtained from all Settlements. Respectfully submitted, Allen L. Kallenbach, Secretary. �PLYMOUTH SE'ITLEMENT HOUSE Meeti nr~ of the Board May I. II . III . IV. ram which was in prog ress , t he A.ft er a tour of the adul t educa tion prog Wil liam Koshewa.

Following lunch, Mr. Jeff presented a demographic scheme of the Russell Area in which he mentioned that the rates for crime, juvenile delinquency, prostitution, illegitimacy, and unemployment were higher than in any other area of Louisville.

Carried after some discussion. It was suggested that Mr. Jeff, the Program Committee, and the Interpretation Committee present some concrete suggestions regarding the future thrust of our program of involvemant in the lives of the people served by Plymouth Settlement House. The Board members felt that after the workshop experience they are better equipped for taking postive action in this direction. Miss Carter and Mrs. Bandt were present to speak to the critical need which we have for additional space to house the ambitious program which is being planned for fall. Mr. Jeff expressed hope that the property committee would soon delve into this problem. Mr. Waraers announced that the next meeting will be held in September. The motion to adjourn carried at 5:08. Respectfully submitted, Allen L. Kallenbach, secretary. �MINUTES OF THE BOARD Plymouth Settlement House September 26, 1968 ( I. II. III. The meeting opened with prayer by the Rev. William Koshewa at 7:28. The minutes of the July meeting were accepted as presented.

Summer Program. - A film contributed by 'MIAS was shown. was interviewing members of the Community Service Team. David George 1. Camp Merry Ledger worked out quite well except for some differences with Wesley House. It is hoped that next year we willagain have this camp but at another location. 2. The Detached Worker Program was felt to be effective. 1400 personal contacts were made by those employed. Mr. Warders shared a portion of the report which Mr. Richard Collins, Director of the Federation of Settlements, had sent to Mr. Norman Anderson, Director of Urban Planning. 3. A report was made regarding the 4 visitors from Africa. They visited Louisville through Operation Crossroads, Africa, Inc. B. Mr. Jeff mentioned that most of the Board's Committees had met within the past several weeks. C. United Appeal - Our present program indicates that if we were to include the many volunteer hours which our staff gives, we would be conducting a $101,000 annual program. Thus, we are asking the Chest for an increased allocation of $30,000. Some of the participants in our program will be conducting Fundraising campaigns for United Appeal. Mr. Jeff suggested that the Board Members provide a campaign team. Mrs. Sweet and Mr. Tucker volunteered. D. New Personnel - Dick Samonds has been employed full time as Organizations Director. Two custodians, one full time and the other part time have been hired. A male secretary has also been employed. E. F. Program Additions - Basically the same as l ast year= 1. Consumer Education will be added to our Adult Program. 2. A sewing company will be teaching a group this fall. 3. A heritage curiculum is being developed within the adult program. The Churches in the Russell area are being asked to purchase the necessary materials for this. 4. A letter from Father Heitzman, West End Catholic Coordinator, responded to the possibility of Plymouth's providing a "satellite" program at St. Charles Catholic Church, 2704 West Chestnut. The program committee has been asked to study this possibility. Child Development Program - CRISIS is the word--stemming from the cut- back of government funds. Present proposal is that the program carried on at Plymouth may be cut from 30 to 15 children. The Community Action Commission is not involving Plymouth in any of its decision making. �G. Status of the Federation - Lack of funding makes the future of the Federation rather dim. It is unlikely that the Chest will fund the Federation because of basic policy differences. Mr. Viarders feels that the Mayor might possibly be persuaded to again make a gift from his contingency fund. There seems to be some difficulty in that some of the agencies are by-passing the Federation. H. The Settlement ·will have a Kick-Off Day on September 29 to advertise the new program and to encourage partici pation in same. I. The National Federation of Settlements will have a Conference on Violence. This will be in Chicago, the first weekend of October. Mr. Jeff has been asked to be on the program. ( IV.
