HomeMy WebLinkAboutFMinutes021313_Page_4As you know, at the ball Direct Energy presented Friends with a mock
check for $50,000 as our 2013 Friends Corporate Sponsor. We have a
new banner ready to go up here at the Rec Center showing them as our
2012 and 2013 Corporate Sponsor.
Submitted an article and photos for the next Parks & Recreation Activity
Guide which should hit West U homes in mid March. The article
highlights the ball. Also submitted an article to the Buzz Magazine along
with a few photos. Thanks to Kristine for handling that one. I also
submitted a lot of photos to West U Essentials Magazine yesterday as
they are planning to highlight the ball for Friends in the March issue.
Friends received a $500 check for a park paver from Southside Fire Truck
Park Fund. We are very grateful to them for their show of support for
West U parks. Matt is working with them on the inscription and installation
of their paver.
I am currently working on securing a date for the next Fathers &
Flashlights event. We are asking for either October 5 or October 19. 1
expect to get the date confirmed pretty quickly.
Coordinating with Susan White on paying out invoices for the projects that
Friends has committed to funding as part of the Five Year Park
Redevelopment Plan. I have requested the first three checks: $18,745.30
for Colonial Park Playground Equipment; $1,339.19 for Whitt Johnson;
and $15,236.88 also for Whitt Johnson Park.
Ting and I will be working on finishing up the donor wall project before we
start getting busy with Fathers & Flashlights.
Thank you to the City for providing lunch for our meeting today. Also,
many thanks to the support we get from the Parks & Rec staff regarding
helping with Park Lovers' Ball and other Friends activities and events.
Please refer to the weekly reports that you receive via email for an update
on other Friends activities. This concludes my report.
