Public Comments on Non-Agenda Items

There were no members of the public in attendance.

IV. Items of Business

A.

2020-21 Spring Fundraiser & Parent-Led Fundraising Update

The Fundraising committee discussed creative ideas for the Spring auction and benefit.
Satellite events might be too complicated. Consensus was to maintain a single broadcast event, in the vain of the Berkeley Public Schools Fund's event, which as advertised as a telethon theme event, with different segments coordinated by different people.
If people wanted to host at their home, they could to encourage participation and donations, but not centrally coordinated. Owners for the major pieces got confirmed.
  • Production - Chris T, Celia
  • Logistics (Tech) - Dave
  • Auction (non traditional) - Karen G, Karen You, Dave
  • Raffle (digital) - Shu Yi
  • Classroom art - Coleen
  • Fund A Need - to work on with Sue (Jamie, Chris S)
  • Comms - Jamie (newsletter), Karen Y (social media)
Telethon = on a designated date (later than usual), late April/early May (April 24 or May 1)
The event could be the culmination of the campaign, to give multiple opportunities for participation.
The auction would run online ahead of the event. 
There was a conversation about finding a headliner(s) to draw people.

Communications would start at the end of March.

B.

Other Development Updates

Mathilde presented Capital Campaign numbers, and talked about the Lunar New Year communications effort.
