Annual Fund Campaign Update
Annual fund donations are still coming in. At a slower pace than initially now with other initiatives ongoing.
Second push for donations will be done prior to the EOY2022 so as to encourage parents for potential tax-write offs. Targeted date prior to school closing on 16DEC2022.
M. Adams - suggested a special appeal for persons who donated in the previous year but haven't donated as yet this year.
Also mention and encourage company matching as many people may not realize this is an option.
