Update on Capital Campaign efforts
David updated the group on grant statuses and future scheduled site visits.
MM & David selected approx 35 past donors to LACS - updated campaign package and will be mailing to these past donors this week. MM asked David to send this list to the committee to see if anyone should receive a special note/comment on the letter prior to going out. Committee members to report to MM on this by tomorrow.
Kari questioned -after major grants is there is a likelihood for reoccurring gifts down the road? David - absolutely possibility for long term relationships!
C.
In-person Event
David questioned if we should schedule another event in late April?
MM is open to it but push for late may/early June. Would need to be thoughtful about who we would want to get into the school and make sure it could happen for these people. MM to send calendar hold and will come to April meeting with further thoughts after brainstorming with DG.
Kari mentioned a group she is a part of expressed interest in visiting the school. MM suggested a "learning lunch". Kari to reach out and report back to MM.
The committee bounced around ideas regarding an on site celebration/event. MM suggested the fall 2023 for this event.
