Topics Discussed:

Review Financial Status

1.      There is a loss of $5,414.42 from last year due to back taxes and fines.

2.      We are now 501(c)3 certified. 

3.      Last year’s Golf Tournament (2005) was the second highest profit of all the past golf tournaments.

4.      We would like 1 person to audit the account on a regular basis.

5.      We need a Microsoft Access expert to help design a database to log and track who our donations are coming from.

 

Fundraising

1.      Tom has spoken to the Purple Bloom Foundation.  This is a charity that helps charities.  He will be having a meeting with them on fundraising ideas.  Donnita will attend with him. 

2.      We are now signed up for Kroger Charity Cards.  Tom Hermanns has the cards.  You just swipe it at the register and we will get proceeds from your grocery purchases.  To receive your card, contact Tom Hermanns.

3.      We will continue with the golf tournament.  As always we could use any help you can give.  We need to try and work on getting sponsors and players signed up early. 

4.      Harvey has offered to run a spring golf tournament in addition to our regular one.  In doing so he has generously offered to donate $5,000 to us.

5.      There are still plenty of rubber bracelets to sell.  They are $2.00 a piece.  To get yours contact Tom Hermanns.

 

Website Enhancements

1.      Jason Mallett will follow up with our current website administrator.

2.      We discussed keeping the website current with activities, etc.

3.      We would like to add some enhancements to the website such as:

a.       Online registration for Camp Phenomenal

b.      Cashiering

4.      Tom set up an example of a recipe database/web portal we would like to see added. We are looking for someone who can do Web Application Development for this project, preferably pro-bono.  The following are some of the features that would be included:

a.       Users could submit recipes

b.      Rating of recipes by users

c.       Viewable comments about recipes

d.      My Favorites folder for users to keep their favorite recipes book marked

e.       Easy printing of recipes cards\

f.       Recipe search engine

 

 

Other Topics

1.      Special Events – It was decided that we would like to see more get-togethers.  Donnita will be heading this.  She will start working on a spring get-together tentatively set for April 22nd at a park in Arlington.  This would be another opportunity for families to get together and have more social time outside of camp.  It is also a good time to build momentum for Camp Phenomenal

 

 

The meeting closed at 8:40 PM.
