Wonderball Event
Wonderball planning continues. Mercer Street meals will be providing the food and the committee is still working on confirming beverage service and beverage donations. The committee is continuing to work on securing vendors for music and has established a decorations committee.
The committee has also designed a logo for the event and will send to the Fund Development committee for approval.
C.
Fund Development Budget
Ms. Teusink presented the proposed fiscal year 2023 budget for fund development, which initially was recommended to stay constant from fiscal year 2022. The committee recommended that we increase the Wonderball budget from $10,000 to $15,000 to give the committee a little extra room for the expenses related to putting on an event of that size.

- Fund Development Report January 2023.pdf
Paige Teusink shared the update for January. Traditionally Jan-April is quieter following the end of year rush, this year however we exceeded the January goal of $4,000 and have noticed donors taking advantage of employer matching.
The participation rates for parents and guardians remains high, while the rate for grandparents and special friends is still lower. Given we still have not returned to an in-person day, the hope is next year we'll be back to normal and see that grow again. The board have all made pledges and faculty and staff giving is up as well.
