An Extended Outline

It is March and TYR’s to-do list has suddenly become longer. We stepped out of our annual board meeting this past Wednesday with much on our minds. The meeting began with evaluations of Amistad City, TYR’s high school program, and as usual, the program was running fine with our combination of Yale interns and TYR members. Then down to the more challinging stuff.
In discussing concerns of TYR not addressing some of the major issues and problems in the community such as the previous killing of a 17-year-old New Haven youth named Maurice Nicholson. This was very high concern by TYR board members and they pressed the preposal of the organization taking action. For a few moments we were on this topic and how came to the conclusion that the voice of TYR is to be heard in the community now more then later because of the seriousness of the issues that have occered in the neighborhood this early in 2009. ATTENTION NEW HAVEN: Do not be afraid of all youth that mobolize, we have mobalized for the greater good and wish to act against the crime of our city.
Finally ending our meeting, we discussed our future events. The only confirmed event to our meeting’s agenda was the Create-A-Comic Tournament that was going to take place at the library on March 14, 2009 at the main New Haven Free Public Library in downtown New Haven from 11AM to 5PM. It is a free program for grades 2 and up.
We predict a rough year for youth and the city in general. The econemy is falling, but TYR is standing. Not asking, but demanding, that we stand together as one not many. Evil, TYR won’t stand for any. And we will always stand for the right, Violence is not the answer but we will fight.
