Friendraising
Reminder that we're always looking to bring new friends through the school - just a month or so left.
P. Robbins - would like to bring Frank Coloccino through - Chair of Board at AIC. Would be a great connection to be made. And Tom Petroloni - State Representative - visit together. All agree would be great!
N. Coakley - Reminded that her son is at AIC currently too.
M. Modesto - mentioned that have connected with Babson President and have a meeting in a few weeks. Paul to join for the meeting.
No new donations received. All grants have been finalized and funding is coming in.
