COMMISSIONER’S REPORT FOR OCTOBER 1998
DAYTRIPPERS
Not to be outdone by our wildly popular ‘Getty Museum’ trips, Daytrippers have signed
on in record numbers for the ‘EnsenadalPuerto Nuevo’ trip on November 14. Highlights
include a breakfast buffet, the scenery of the Baja Coast, shopping and the famous
‘Puerto Nuevo Lobster Dinner‘.
A trip to a stage production of the ‘Radio City Christmas Spectacular‘ starring the world
famous Rockettes is a highlight scheduled for December 11 in Los Angeles.
ENRICHMENT CLASSES P+
Our Enrichment Class program has teamed up with the Vista Community Clinic to offer
no fee seminars, directed towards ‘Healthy Decision Making’. - Project PSI (Postponing Sexual Involvement) provides a direct educational program to
teens, ages 12 -14, using the Managing Pressures before Marriage curriculum. The
curriculum is founded on the belief that postponing sexual involvement is the healthiest
decision for young teens. The main objectives of the program are: 1) to inform young
teens about social and peer pressures to become sexually involved; 2) to provide
information about the consequences of early sexual involvement; and 3) to model skills
which will help young teens say “NO” to sexual involvement.
