- Website Update: Greg Haas submitted a bid to build a new site with existing information but updated themes. Sallie moved to accept Greg’s bid. PJ seconded. Motion passed.
- Van Wrapping: Heather described the current options for Van Wrapping. One company has two quotes, going from $800 to $2000. Jennifer expressed interest in the more expensive one but wondered why it was so much more. Board suggested we gather a few more quotes and then make a more informed decision. Also interested in knowing how long the wrapping will take to finish. Heather and Breean will work on finding more information and then sharing that with the board.
Old Business
- Becky asked what happened with the hunt for funds to replace the Blessings in a Backpack/Susan Patrick funding. Heather shared that Breean had communicated with Molly Hughes of the Hughes Charitable Foundation and requested that we use some of the funds from the Protein Project for snack packs since Governor and First Lady Gordan had donated a beef. Molly was agreeable to the substitution. In addition, Breean is looking into other grants that might be able to cover the costs, approximately $20,000.
Next meeting September 21, 2023. Jennifer made the motion to adjourn the meeting. Mike 2nd that motion. Meeting adjourned, 8:00 pm
