Youth Council in Sidney May Seek a New Start
In Sidney, a renewed look at the Inter Agency Youth Council emerges as organizers, led by Bill Plank and Elva Davison, consider reactivating the group formed in November 1974 to coordinate youth services across agencies. The council disbanded after attendance declined, but interest persists amid talks of better cooperation, youth involvement, and a bridge to the Sidney Youth Service System with a 24 hour hot line.
