Bonnie made the motion with Myke, a 2nd. Approved.
Update on annual letter. It was dropped off today. Will go out today or Monday. There will be a secure
post of ice box (Keys held by Bonnie and Penne) so that credit card security is tightest. Established a
means of depositing through the City until our 501C3 is established. Thank you notes will be hand
written.
Members of the Shelburne library fund raising committee will meet with Jay, MargaretAnn and Nancy to
compare fundraising notes. Fletcher Free will give us access to their grant database for which they had to
pay.
4. Review of the naming document created by Stacey and MargaretAnn. We will need to recommend to
the full board and then Patrick will move it on to the City. Stacey used a “Campaign Pyramid program”.
Very thorough!
There are still concerns about donor wall or other recognition area. This is the start of early voting and
absentee ballots- it would be good to follow up with folks voting early with a postcard. MargaretAnn
thought she could manage this.
5.Discussion followed about Capital Campaign Committee chairs and co-chairs and membership. It seems
that 8-10 members would be preferred. Need to ind interested people who are well known. Those who
sign on should be prepared to make a “leadership gift”. Jay will check with Christine for suggestions.
6. Discussion relative to potential capital campaign major donor list. Postponed
7. Discussion of calendar for capital campaign preparation. Postponed
8. Next meeting October 23rd at 4PM.
9. 5:40 PM move to adjourn Bonnie 2nd Myke. Passed
