Katrina updated the group as to the progress of the fund and on the next push around Valentine's Day.  A social media push will go out along with an email blast during the week leading up to 2/14.  Other discussion points included LYBUNTs and how to leverage the Common Principles event.

Debbie gave an update on how the Young Alumni panel went at the beginning of January and Katrina updated on the social snack hour afterwards.  Other discussion was around methods of reaching the alumni to invite them to events other than email, postcard, and Facebook.  We are looking to expand our Instagram following.

Katrina led discussion around the food portion of the Common Principles event.  After debate, we agreed to the reception being from 6:30-7:30 with robust appetizers and the event from 7:30-9:30 with desserts and coffee.  We agreed on a $15 pp suggested donation to cover event costs. 

There was additional conversation around the selection process of the panelists for the evening and the fact that we are not going to have videographers at the event.

Jennifer updated the group on the next phase of the Third Decade Fund.  The phase will focus on the heating system and "greening" of the campus.  There will be a brochure available at the 4/6 event that outlines the work and the opportunity we have to reduce our carbon footprint with this project.  Additional discussion around something current parents could get excited about- an outdoor classroom- the greenhouse, etc...

Katrina briefly updated the group on other committee work.
