The meeting acted on the following items:
1. Candy Drive: The Candy Drive was a success. Once missing members money
will be collected we will have raised a total of $2,400 for the Holiday
Fundraiser.
2. Thanksgiving Turkey Drive: The Thanksgiving Turkey Drive was also a
great success. Family's were very grateful for there dinners.
3. The Holiday Tree Lighting_ The Friday night Tree Lighting was a great
accomplishment. We raised a total of $306 that night. At the tree lighting we
had members Scott Cunningham, Abby Grant, Mark Soloman, Andrea
Michelson, Ashley Walsh, Joslyn Battite, Amelia Fusco, Jillian Jandl, Sarah
Fopiano, Natalia Pronchick, Ben Liebeskind, Gillian Goolkasian, Elizabeth
Coons, Jake Douvas, Carolyn Avery, and Andrea Michelson.
4. Weekends at Wilson's and Season's Four: As discussed at the meeting
there were some communication issues for figuring out who could come do a
shift last minute when someone had to drop outs. In the future we hope
people will remember to give better notice if they are unable to participate in
a meeting. However, we still managed to raise plenty of money to get to our
grand total of $2,400 for the Holiday Fund. This money will be used to
purchase gift cards to Toys R Us for low income families with children.
S. Open Meeting Laws: We discussed the Open Meeting Laws as a group
understanding that all meetings are open to the public, and that Meeting
Minutes will continually be required to be sent to the town of Lexington.
6. Float Discussion: The core group had a productive discussion after the
meeting and have developed a specific plan for the float involving the
Farming/ Freedom/ Family idea. Because of Mrs. Kelly's absence next month,
we will not have a meeting in January. However we would like to schedule a
meeting outside of LYC to go over materials and other details.
7. Communication and the Plan for Moving Forward: After Shannon
DeGulielmo's generous offer to send out the Meeting Minutes to group
members we hope that more people will be notified of upcoming meetings
and events. Also, we request that Team Captains remember to txt their
members of meetings.
Overall we had a very successful meeting and we are grateful of everyone's
input. The next meeting will be held at 7:OOPM on Thursdayjanuary 10thin
Estabrook Hall (the downstairs)in Cary Memorial Building.
