Fundraisers
*Perkins – on going
*Bocco Lupo Pizza for a Cause- They have suspended this until more Snowbirds come back. Naomi will continue to try to get us a date.
*AmVets Fundraiser-Sandy Danner was thanked for all she did to make this happen. Frank will pick up donations of product from the fundraiser. All who went had a great time.
*Culverts Oct 14-20: Backpack Angels can receive 10% of sales for the period October 14-20, 2024. However, diners need to bring in a flyer that was distributed at the meeting. Culverts said we could hand out flyers the first 2 days in the parking lot but that patrons couldn’t use the flyers those 2 days. Judy Scheil will be passing out flyers at theNorth Port Night Out tonight as well as at the Chamber breakfast. Other members will pass out flyers at various locations throughout the city. Susan will also attach a flyer to her next email.
Bags for October
*Judy said we have a tentative total of 1,014 bags. She mentioned that Glenallen is going down to 441 small bags.
Volunteer Coordinator- Sorting Day is October 18th and Packing/Delivery Day is October 21st.
We need a driver for the High School this month.
Website
*Frank said the website is up to date. Frank will add some pictures from the AmVets fundraiser and will update the minutes.
*Scrapbook: Linda Lambert said 2020, 2021 and 2022 are all done. She is working on completing 2023. If anyone has any pictures or items she can put in for 2023 please give them to her. She also took some pictures at the AmVets fundraiser.
Grants- On Going
*Dianne has finalized the Heron Creek Grant and is working on a few more
*Yvette has applied for a couple of new grants-just waiting to hear.
*North Port Night Out: Judy and Naomi will be there at a table for Backpack Angels tonight October 1st.
Any Other Business
*Sorting Day Changes: Susan mentioned that we should have some of the volunteers open all the boxes during Sorting Day and if the product is boxed within the box, the inside boxes should be opened and the product put into bins, so this doesn’t need to be done on Packing Day.
*November 2nd Newcomers Day Volunteers Needed- Susan Ricard and Rebecca Fisher said they would participate.
*Fundraising Committee: we will be looking to have a meeting of those on the Fundraising Committee after the General Meeting in November. Any members wishing to participate should be encouraged to stay.
Adjourned at 11:20.
