Lake Norman Teen Council
The Council has been established to provide
North Mecklenburg teens in high school and middle school an opportunity to develop a foundation for volunteer opportunities, social interaction, programming, teamwork, and leadership skills. Teens will serve the community and create programming for their peers.
Who makes up Teen Council? – High School and Middle School teens who live in North Mecklenburg. The Council is comprised of teens that express an interest in actively
developing opportunities for all teens in the community.
Who Governs the Teen Council? – A service club for 6th - 10th graders. Each month spend a Saturday having fun in the community by volunteering. There is an Executive Board comprised of teens elected by their peers in the council. The board office positions are limited to high
school students with an exception of three middle school positions for Program Committee members. Advisors to the council are three adult parks and recreation staff members from Davidson, Cornelius, and Huntersville.
What type of events and activities can we expect? – The teen council will determine events with approval from the Advisory Board. Some suggested activities are an ice skating trip to Center City, mystery dinner theatre, and volunteer outreach projects with local non-profit organizations.
What is a parent’s role? – A parent's role is to support teen participation in council activities, and provide transportation
to various activity locations. In order to develop independence in our teens, parents should neither plan to attend meetings nor plan to chaperone events. The Parks and
Recreation Departments will handle these responsibilities. However, parent inquiries are always welcome.
Will adult supervision be provided for all teen activities & events? – Parks and recreation staff members will provide
an adult ratio of 1:15 teens at all activities and events.
Are there costs or fees, and how does a teen sign up for an event or activity? How do I register? – At this time there are
no membership fees. Event and trip activities may incur a fee depending on the activity. You may register for an activity or become a member of the teen council at Davidson Parks and Recreation,
www.d-recs.org>
www.d-recs.org or 704-892-3349. All town websites will have updated information.

Managing Concerns About Falls
Have you turned down a chance to go out with family or friends because you were concerned about falling? Have you cut down on a favorite activity because you might fall? If so, A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls is a program for you.
Fear of falling can be just as dangerous as falling itself. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in severe physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. Many older adults also experience increased isolation and depression when they limit their interactions with family and friends. A Matter of Balance can help people improve their quality of life and remain independent.
A Matter of Balance is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels among older adults. Participants learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.
North Mecklenburg Senior Center is offering A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls Wednesdays and Fridays, June 3 –26 at 1:00pm – 3:00pm. (all 8 classes must be attended) The Program cost is $5.00. A workbook is provided and refreshments are served.

Recent family-friendly films are going to be shown on a cinema-size screen with a powerful sound system at North Mecklenburg Park. Admission is free, but canned goods are being accepted as donations to benefit the new Angels and Sparrows Soup Kitchen in Huntersville.
Radiant Life Fellowship, a local church, has stepped forward and offered to partner with the Town to make the movies happen. “We wanted to connect with the people of Huntersville in a way that would be a blessing,” said Chris Thompson, lead pastor. “And if people bring a few canned goods, they can be blessed by the movie and bless those who are less fortunate with the soup kitchen supplies.”
Cici’s Pizza, one of the sponsors, is going to offer $5 pizzas at the event and free popcorn will be provided.
The tentative schedule is as follows:
Movies in North Mecklenburg Park- 8:30PM*
June 26--Madagascar: Escape from Africa

Aug 28-Kung Fu Panda
