WebTeam help if needed
A WebBoard workshop for members of this group will probably be needed.
This project is a result of the City's work with neighborhood associations.
This association represents about 270 households about one third of
which are 'members' of the Association.



Project Auksuciai Foundation
Start: August 1, 2001 End: may 15, 2002
Applicant: John Chiles <jschiles@dcn.davis.ca.us>
Project leader: John Chiles <jschiles@dcn.davis.ca.us>
IPC Liaison: Richard Yamagata
1 shell account - no charge, indefinite time period
This group is a local non-profit working with farmers and their
community in Siauliai (sooshay), Lithuania. A set of web pages
already exists and these will be moved from their current location,
updated, and eventually translated into Lithuanian.



Project NAMI Yolo County
Chapter of National Association for the Mentally Ill
Start: August 1, 2001 End: May 15, 2002
Applicant: Stuart Buchan (Chair of the local chapter)
Project Leader: Leslie Carroll <lacarrol@dcn.davis.ca.us>
1 shell account - no charge, indefinite time period
1 List - without charge until May 15, 2002
1 Forum
WebTeam help if needed
Leslie Carroll will probably ask if DCN is willing to set up
HyperNews for this group. If we are not this project will most likely use
WebBoard and join with the Arroyo group for a workshop.
"NAMI Yolo County" is assuming responsibilities previously shouldered
by the Yolo County Mental Health Association. The group is an official
chapter of the parent organization which is national in scope (NAMI)
and is 100% volunteer with about 120 local members.
Funding is a serious problem for this struggling group but they say
they persevere against the odds.

4. Next meeting - September 5, 2001 - will only be held if there are proposals to consider.

Adjournment: 7:45pm
