HomeMy WebLinkAboutFMinutes120711_Page_3little research regarding the feasibility of Friends marketing this type of donation.
We are working with Frost bank and they are setting up our brokerage account
and the plan for this particular stock donation is that the funds will go straight
from the donors brokerage account into ours hopefully one day next week.
Regardless, I suggest that we consider putting the word out that we accept stock
donations, as long as we are careful about what we state that we accept, etc.
We are about ready to start selling West U parks t-shirts here at the Rec Center.
We have a display planned for back behind the front desk downstairs. Debora
Connelly took care of inventorying our shirts and getting them boxed up for
delivery over here to the Rec Center. Thank you, Debora. We will have three
different shirts on sale, I Love West U Parks, What Happens in West U Stays in
West U, and the golf shirts. The t-shirts are $10 each and the golf shirts are $50
each. We actually already sold a golf shirt based on the display that is currently
downstairs in the glass cabinet as you walk in downstairs. These make great
holiday gifts, hostess gifts, etc.
Lastly, I would like to share a letter with the board that we received along with a
donation from a Boy Scout who donated money to Friends that he had left over
from his Eagle Scout project. Letter was passed around . The scout is Chris
Scheller and his project involved upgrading and refurbishing the wooden play
structures at Colonial Park.
