The Holyoke Youth Commission met today for a press conference to announce that the Community Vision Map is a top 20 finalist for the Make It Your Own Award. They first met to discuss the project and come up with some ideas for getting it going. They are totally excited to get started. They will be outreaching to other programs and to get adults involved. They plan to do a series of forums and then a large event to get all the ideas together for the Vision Map. They also want to make sure the ideas really happen. They love the idea of being able to get the word out on the web and through social networks like MySpace and Facebook.
