q Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statements were distributed. The Balance Sheet shows the Playground Fund at $132K, which includes 80% of the Blues Fest profit, plus $6,100 that was moved over from the general account.
q The $1,418.36 listed for Paypal-Playground Account is from the Blues Fest.
q One pending figure is $300, which PNC Bank is going to charge us for use of the ATM during the Blues Fest.
q The Ralph Bleck Scholarship stands at $3,618.00. This scholarship is awarded to an 8th grader, but the check is not actually written until the recipient’s senior year. There has definitely been at least one scholarship awarded so far. Mike wants to find out if there was a 2008 recipient.
q We discussed the $2,500 sponsorship from Alcatel-Lucent for the 5K Run. We need to let Alcatel-Lucent know the race was cancelled, and explore other uses for the money. Anne will get a list from Collette of playground equipment still to be sponsored. We will then send a letter to A-L requesting that the $2,500 be used to sponsor a piece of playground equipment.
q We have received a proposal from an Architectural Engineering firm for a two-part contract: A)Feasibility Study - $8K
B)Permit Process - $26.5K
q Collette suggested we sign off on Phase One only, since we know we have to do the feasibility study. Depending upon the results of that study, the cost for Phase Two might go down.
q Mike commented that it is possible we won’t be able to build the basketball court, since it is a non-permeable surface very close to the river.
q We may also have handicap accessibility issues, which might result in additional costs.
q Collette’s goal for playground fundraising this year is $25K. This will bring us to our $150K goal with some additional funds to cover the engineering costs.
q Collette will be speaking at Back to School Night at Valley View on September 11. She will be selling the stars again, which raised about $500 last year. We will also distribute the LTEF Newsletter.
q Julianne Targan made a chart showing our fundraising progress; she plans on dropping it off at Valley View for BTSN by 5 p.m. on the 11th. Anne will get to the school by 5 p.m. as well to help staff the table.
q Collette has asked for help in supervising the kid’s stage. The performances will be taking place from 12-4 p.m. Anne volunteered to help out for a couple of hours. Mike said he would try to be there as well.
C. Halloween Madness
q This event will be taking place on Friday night, October 31st this year, so it will probably be well attended. Collette plans on running the dinner concession again this year, and will need people to help man it. Anne and Mike have volunteered.
q We reviewed the newsletter articles and discussed how to format them for distribution at Back to School Night. Mike indicated he would like to see if everything could fit in a 2-page fold out newsletter format. Elyse volunteered to take the newsletter to Budget Printing in Clinton, to see if they could format it for us, and to get a cost for printing.
