Open Discussion:
Raffle Donation to the church Building Fund: Fifteen percent of the parishioner sales went to the church building fund last year. Everyone agreed this should be done this year as well. Parishioner sales were $11,000 so fifteen percent will be $1760.
Format of Progress Reports: Doug mentioned that the format of the reports should be in the same format for all subjects where the report is completed. Diana said she will look into this.
Jogathon: There was a discussion about obtaining sponsors for the jogathon for next year. Something will be sent home at the end of the year. It was agreed that the sponsorship might be easier if we get started in the summer. Tom suggested having the children involved somehow in the fund raising in order to increase participation.
Next meeting will be June 7, 2010 at 6 pm and following the meeting, the new and previous board members will meet at El Torrito.
