Community Ideas (writing) 1

(~*~)
Hello,
I recently discovered an opportunity knocking in my local community that asked for volunteers interested in the areas of writing, photography, and graphic design. All of these are already interests of mine, and I do have past experience from personal projects and volunteerism. So of course, I sent a message asking for more details. The details were not quite clear, so I have asked some more questions and I am awaiting a reply. Until then, I can only do part of what was requested.
This 1st part, is the ideas for writing...
NOTES:
> This is only a partial list, as it was "off the top of my head" when I first got the email (had no interruptions).
I am sure in time, this list may turn into a "B'list" (Big list).
> Not in any particular order.

MY IDEAS LIST
1. With so many great programs for the kids/ youth, what about for us parents/ adults that also want to learn what's offered to the younger generation? Example: tech learning
+
2. Each holiday has history, and relevance for today. - How have we tied it together and kept tradition through all these years? Example: Day of the Dead
+
3. Every season has valued qualities. In what ways does Waterloo Region celebrate each season, and how do we differ with our celebrations within each city, and from city to city - are all connected and sharing celebrations? Example: Fall Harvest
+
4. Summer brings on the fun with Festivals and many other kinds of activities and events. 

How many can we list for the awareness of our community? Example: Is there a grand list that the cities/region hosts listed so everyone can access it through City Hall or something?
+
5. What builds a culture?, How does our region, and each of our Tri-cities (including Guelph) within build their own?, What has created traditions?, & What has aided global causes (if any)?
+

6. Community dances for different age groups/ all ages. Why are there so few, and where are they?
My Idea for this one: 
Schools and community centers are the perfect locations, as they are already spread throughout our communities and easy to find/ get to. Community dances can help foster/ grow a community by bringing people together in a comfortable/ fun setting. Parents and students can get to know each other better (even when not dancing), dancing can be a great form of exercise, it can be an event to look forward to for all ages, and it can be themed or not and include/ introduce local/ school bands. I honestly don't know why there are not more of them - and free or super cheap.
