August Meeting Minutes

Hey everyone, we just had our first meeting for August and I thought I'd post an abbreviated version of the minutes. If you'd like the full version please e-mail me and I will send them to you!

We approved our standing rules... each board member will get a copy of these next month.

We approved our budget with an addition of $150 for start the arts. Each board member has a copy of the budget, and copies will be available at each meeting.

Kris Mullen introduced us to Start the Arts. This is a fun new program that will happen 3 times a year. The kids will learn a basic art lesson (on things like impressionism and pointalism and cool stuff like that!) and do a project. We will need lots of volunteers to help with this, so let us know if you are interested in helping.

Jennifer Gunter introduced us to Girls on the Run. This is an after school program that is for girls in 3-5th grades. They have a short self-esteem type lesson and then run as training for a 5K.

We will have information about both of these programs at back to school day. We will also have information about membership, box tops, fall fundraiser, and t-shirts. Our back to school day is Aug. 21 from 11-1pm. We are hoping to have sample cookies from our fundraiser to hand out in the gym... if not we will have popcorn.

We will stuff our back to school envelopes on Wednesday Aug. 12 at 1:00 pm. Feel free to stop by and help if you'd like... we have 600 to do!

Thanks to those who came, and hopefully this will be useful!
