The Youth Committee was formed by a group of New Glarus area citizens over 10 years ago with the intention of promoting and facilitating the youth of the area. We are a non-profit organization. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 PM at Flannery's restaurant in New Glarus. All meetings are open to the public and we always welcome new members to join. We vote and pass resolutions as a quorum.
Our only Fundraising activity is the annual New Glarus COMMUNITY FEST held each Memorial Holiday weekend starting Friday night and extending into Monday mid-day with lots of recreational and play activities as well as a lively beer tent with bands lined up from early afternoon into the night. See the link for this year's line up.
With the monies brought in from this festival (which is in it's 16th year) we are then able to reach out to help our young people with grants and deeds throughout the year. We are the sole sponsors of the long tradition of LUNCH WITH SANTA held each December for the delight of hundreds of smaller children.
