Paige Teusink reported on Gather and Grow for March. Fundraising continues to be strong and is pacing ahead of the goal. There was some additional outreach done in March, which helped increase the numbers, we are now only about $13,000 off our annual goal. Ms. Teusink also reported that in looking at historical trends in giving to the school, we are not only pacing well ahead of where we were last year at this time, but also giving is higher than it's ever been at this point in the year.

Shannon Rutledge reported on Wonderball planning. There has been a change in the leadership and that has necessitated some changes in the design of the logo and a few other elements, but all is on track. Work continues to prepare the art auction and to gather items for the raffle baskets. The Wonderball committee is looking for volunteers to help with set up and they will be sharing a sign-up in the Courier.

Pouya Dianat raised the question of next year's Fund Development committee and the desire to broaden the scope to include community outreach and engagement to the work of the committee. Given the increased scope Mr. Dianat recommends that the committee update its name to reflect its broader mission and vision. The recommendation was made that the original description of the committee needs to be updated to reflect the new vision and once the scope is clear then a name can be chosen to better reflect the work of the committee. Barrett Krise will raise this during the board's working session at the next meeting and will schedule time during the May Fund Development meeting to discuss the scope and brainstorm a new name.
