The committee reviewed and approved the changes made to the topics calendar.

Mehmet shared the fundraising plan spreadsheet and noted that the final presentation and implementation plan were available in the board documents folder under Miscellaneous/Fundraising. The group discussed the location of these documents, and Joann confirmed she could access them. The team discussed implementing double doors for enhanced security, with Mehmet confirming that facility managers are already collecting quotes and the project has budget approval. 

Joann proposed dedicating 30 minutes during the August strategic retreat to brainstorm marketing messaging for the double door project. Demir clarified that the funding would come from general student funds and could be reimbursed through future fundraising efforts without affecting the current year's budget.

Joann and Mehmet discussed a potential grant from the Farash Foundation for a summer school or after-school program. 

Joann mentioned the need to obtain a donor list from the board and determine the appropriate approach for each potential donor. They agreed to set a goal for board members to identify three potential donors each for the upcoming year. Joann suggested making August retreats an annual event to review milestones and set goals. The group discussed timing for fundraising, with Demir noting that donations for annual fundraising should be known by February-March for board presentation in April, while end-of-year donations align with tax considerations.
