Summary of our Tuesday April 24th Meeting
Meeting notes from our April 24th meeting:
Website networking ideas:
1. Goodsearch.com - Carolyn to investigate if we can gather funds by connecting to this search engine.
2. Networking via sixdegrees.org - Carolyn to do, time permitting.
3. Shannon will work on a garage sale postcard/calling card and a donation letter (to be printable, perhaps downloadable from this site)
Team Categories:
1. Organizing:
Anita is contacting folks who can repair bikes. Those willing and able to fix bikes will pick them up and repair them at their own homes as they have time.
2. Bookkeeping:
Our current fund balance is $2300.00.
3. Fundraising:
- The Keep On Truckin' banner will cubic squares for donation/purchase will be unveiled at Mission Outreach Sunday - May 5th/6th.
- Bike Raffle, we have a $600 (value) bike that was donated for us to raffle. Harold is investigating licensing and legal requirements for us to raffle the donated bike.
4. Donation Tracking:
A 3-ring binder will be placed at the container at Steve Potter's house. Each time a group packs the binder someone will track the items placed in the container and jot them on the spreadsheet in the binder. Carolyn will combine the results in a final Excel sheet that can be printed for shipping documentation when we ship the container later this year. (Our goal is Nov/Dec 2007)
Mission Sunday - We will meet at 4pm in the Narthex to set up our Grace4Tanzania table.
