Update on Capital Campaign efforts
David shared an update. We reived funds from the BFF. This was a great example of cultivating a new prospect and we hope this becomes a long term friend. We need to raise a little of 630k.
We currently have a few requests out. With all the requests we have out, the gap between new goal + balance is about 224k.
We should consider hosting a campaign closing event in October.
Donor wall? Or some other form of public recognition? We should work over the summer to design one and have it in place as part of LACS grand opening.
With new prospects, we will be working with People's Bank to connect with other financial institutions.
C.
In-person Event
It's a lot of work but worth it if we can get the right people there.
We will work on 1-on-1 engagements.
We should consider bringing in donors that have given year after year to see the current space.

New DC member recruitment
KD reached out to a committee prospect. She will follow up to set up lunch and bring her to LACS.
We need to work to recruit additional Board members actively.
We are currently sitting at 1.1M. Lots of good news since our last DC meeting.
