5. Committee status reports
Organization: Matt Craig (Aaron Fischer reporting)
- The information required for the 501(c)(3) has mostly been gathered. With the proposed bylaw updates and financials that will be finalized with Jason Ryan, we are nearly ready to submit. Intend to be submitted by the next meeting. $600 application fee is required. Motion to spend the money, seconded and approved. Aaron Fischer will pay and request reimbursement.
Facilities: Brad Mackowick (Jason Ryan reporting)
- Letter to Monte with some status and requesting to clarify next steps. Waiting for response.
-Suggest all facility users send a detailed thankyou and season summary including pictures to Monte. Jason Ryan has good contact info for Monte.
- Monthly payment to Monte. Original intent was to pay through May when we were originally planning to move out. Proposal that we continue to pay the same amount ($1000) per month through September and revisit at that time. Motioned as proposed, seconded, approved.
- One pager - draft circulated to the committee via email. Intent is to capture a sheet of talking points as we investigate options for a different location should that need arise. Committee members will work offline to get this finalized.
Fundraising: Jason Ryan
No update
PR: Hannah Reisdorf (Rory Held and Sam Wheeldon reporting)
- Committee met - desire to build our relationship with the schools - need to identify a good representative from the locals school(s) to participate directly. Intend to bring a presentation to the school administration about the upcoming season and events.
- Plan to pull together FRC teams in the area - especially new/starting teams.
- Business cards - found a new potential source - ~$3 / 63 cards + $10 shipping per order. Decided proposed front is OK, gray with gears on the back. Matte finish. Anyone who wants cards should get your desired content and how many you want to Rory Held and he'll coordinate an order. If Rory doesn't have your details by 5/21 you may not get cards. We will also get some General ones - 4 sets of 63 - cost to be split by others getting cards for themselves.
6. New Business
