Opens
*Karen McQuade talking with Sara (not Cornerstone parent) and Christy (Owen’s mom) $15,000 for 3 sustainable gardens. They think Chipotle might offer a good amount of funding. Considering having nursing home residents come tend to garden during summer.
Jody
*Jody moved $2000 out of field trips and into building improvements
*made $42 at last UNO’s fundraiser for total $135 restaurant fund received so far. $600 was budgeted
*a little over $5000 left in account with no money scheduled to come in. Hemant asked what ramifications would be if no spring festa. If spring festa does not happen or bring in significant funds, no money will be available for next year. More parent funds would be needed. Goal of fundraiser was for it to grow to reach families outside of cornerstone minimizing burden of funding from parents. No donations for auction coming in. Some companies who previously have donated have backed out for this year.
*$271 received so far for amazon link. $800 was budgeted
*funds still needed for teacher allowances, fun events (parties), and graduation equaling roughly $1500 of the $5000 currently in account
Hemant
*applefest will no longer be at center of town.
*cookbook recipes needed to be typed to fit format for cookbook. Volunteers needed.
*question was asked about whether we’ve done a garage sale yet? They have been hit or miss in the past
Roxanna (via phone)
*venue, menu, band all set. Solicitations and program advertisements need to be collected. Lacking volunteers…help is needed!
*deadline for ads need to be in a week before the event (April 12)
*Meeting is set up Tuesday, March 4th at school at 6:30
David DeManche mentioned adding more community events for Cornerstone to bring families together.
