Diane Brandon spoke from the Community Wellness Coalition.  This coalition serves primarily KEYS - Kittery, Eliot, York, and South Berwick.  8 years ago was the start of the wellness model for the coalition.  It is funded 90% by grants and is run by a staff of 2.  Its goal is to try to connect all the different groups in the town.  There will be a forum held on 4/17 at Marshwood High School to discuss the future of southern York County.  It is an opportunity for people to come together from different towns to discuss issues and plan for positive change.  The Wellness Coalition is located at Landmark Hill in Kittery.  Phone # is 438-9997.  The Family Resource Center is right next door.

Meeting adjourned.
