Record fair:

Pledge drive:
— Julia, send trainees his way
— We have already raised over $3500 going into the drive
— Ways to get people more involved in the pledge drive?
— Goal-setting spreadsheet could be helpful. Ben G. will make this
— Tabling in Usdan with T-shirts–way to double check the color of the shirts before they are printed?
— Concert or on-campus event? Could it be a partnership or closed-campus event–targeting students specifically. Beth will get started on this!
— Looking into putting money into WesCards: Beth
— Lara starting to name things at the station
— What about an open house? What about parents weekend? Yes, let us have that! We don’t need a ton of food on that. Can we get on the brochure? On Saturday of parent weekend. Beth is emailing
Ben’s notes:
-BM updated online pledge system with new items and got a very brief web post up.
-BM also finalized T-shirt Graphic.
-BM will get Tally’s going on website and FB page.
-BM is working on getting pledge letter and mailing together
-Let’s make a google spreadsheet for pledge goal setting? It could be set to have a running tally so that every goal entered will be reflected in the remaining balance. This would help DJs A) actually come up with a goal and B) see how the potential impact of that goal towards our total $20K goal.
What are other folks doing to help make the pledge drive a success? Board pledge goal? Pledge tally contest?
Julia:
— Updated staff list
Budget:
— Working on budget–if anyone has anything we think we should have, let Ben G know!
Sexual harassment policy:
— Zazie and I talked to Debbie
— Training with harassment one-pager to lay out expectations (using Wesleyan policy as a background)
— Training for Nov/Dec staff meetings–moving forward with this
— For B, must talk to Debbie before returning–anything else he would need to do? WIll vote on this next week
Beth:
— Press release should be written for the pledge drive!
December 7th fundraising Dinner at Laboca:
– Great work, Bryan! For payment, can we just ask folks to send checks and or use our current online system. We can instruct them to enter “Laboca” in the other gift section of our online pledge form. Not sure what other options will be possible within university finance system.
