Council after Tuesday's Induction Ceremony.  A welcome reception for the
new members, along with a chance to meet City Manager Thomas Bonfield,

members from grades 9-12 chosen by a selection committee composed of the
Durham City Council, City staff members and Partners Against Crime (PAC)
leaders.  In previous years, the Council has only included 30 members.

appointed and attending all meetings of the Durham Youth Council.  New
members have also agreed to attend and actively participate in all
meetings, service projects, and special events sponsored by the Durham
Youth Council.
