Annual Fund 2018-19

We talked about how to publicize the participation push for the Annual Fund.  A postcard mailer to families who have not yet given this year emphasizing the importance of their gift and a second mailing to larger audience about the importance of supporting the Annual Fund.  (hope to have the postcard hit mailboxes early in the 4/8 week.  Talked about tabling at Noche Sabrosa on 4/10.  Send a personalized email from a trustee as a follow up to the postcard mailing.

Common Principles Event- April 6, 2019

Jon and Debbie are collecting outlines from the presenters to create a good flow.  Food final choices are being made this week.  Currently registration looks good.  We will play the video at a break point between presenters.  Todd and Katrina will work on what he will say during his time at the event.  We decided that assigned seating was a good idea similar to last year.  Due to not as many trustees attending, we will use seasoned parents to help generate conversation at tables.

Thanking our community

Decided that a robust email with good photos would be a good way to thank people and continue to promote a sense of giving in the community.
