Old Business: Board, Advisors, and Membership: No new information at this time. Still thinking of asking additional people to be advisors to the board. Checking Account: No new information at this time. Previously we determined that we will be opening a basic checking account at First Federal Savings and Loan. We will open an account that only requires 1 signature. Approved signers will be Lindsey Parks, Mandi (Amanda) Lawrence, and Aleisha Fox. We will need at least $50 to open the account. A donation is coming from an anonymous donor to give us our startup money. Strive for 5: No new information at this time. Previously we decided that this might be a good start up fundraiser. Asking Alumni of the band to donate $5 to the cause. Funds from this could be used for instrument repairs. Our Mission: No new information at this time. Previously decided that our purpose is to subsidize the funding for students in the Waynesburg Central band programs that is needed but not provided by the school district or the band boosters. We plan to help with funding things like purchasing and repairing instruments, giving to what is called the angel fund (set up by the boosters to help economically underprivileged students who cannot afford to go on trips, or buy needed materials,) and fund instructor positions throughout the school year to ensure students are receiving the highest level of music education possible. Bylaws & Articles: We would like to work with lawyer, Eric Davis, to write Bylaws, Articles of incorporation, and a Mission Statement. He will also walk us through the process of getting established correctly. It is estimated to cost around $1000 to get this started with Eric. Motion to work with Eric Davis as our legal advisor was made by Lindsey Parks, seconded by Mandi Lawrence. All in favor. Future events: No new business. Still planning to do an instrument drive, seek grants, hold small summer sessions for elementary students, car shows, and a Night at the Races event. Aleisha Fox motioned to close discussion of old business, Lindsey Parks Seconded. All Approved. New business: Meeting with Eric Davis: After an approved motion to work with Eric Davis, we decided to plan a phone conference with him to get it started. Kate and Lindsey plan to call him on December 11th at 4:00 PM. They will ask him if it is okay to have interest baring accounts. Cost for legal fees: We need to be able to pay for our startup costs. Doug Mason has agreed to pay the initial start of cost of $1,000 with the WMD responsible for paying him back once we have our first fundraiser. Motion to approve was made by Mandi Lawrence, seconded by Kate Graham. Car Show: Lindsey is going to schedule a meeting with, Tom Ayers, the person previously in charge of the Cruising for a Cure Car show. We will be taking over the Car Show as a fundraiser for our program. Once she has meet with him, she will report back. The next meeting date is yet to be determined.
