We need the council to support our upcoming youth series. Jump On It (JOI) was very successful in the past at Rosewood Park by bringing out 2000 + youth and there families each week while curving the teen crime rate by almost 50% during the summers of 1997 - 2002! The absence of Jump On It has put a damper on the summer and has severed a needed connection with the city's youth, public officials and law enforcement. JOI has been brought back into action because there is a definite disconnect with urban youth and the "police" and collectively we need a forum such as JOI to disseminate information to the community concerning city initiatives, public official's agendas and needed support as well as job and health awareness outreach. These initiatives will be garnered under the umbrella of entertainment. The dates are Wednesdays July 11, 2012 - August 15, 2012. Here's the following needs that we are requesting the council's help with: Sponsorship of Rosewood Park including rental fees, utility fees, damage deposit and APD traffic patrol. We need your support to Bring the JOI back to Austin!
