  1. Lessons learned from summer fundraisers
    6/25 Willamette Gran Fondo—
    The event went smoothly. The donation to ACC is still outstanding
    7/9 Cycle Oregon— We did not meet our commitment for the number of volunteers. It ended up being enough, but we still need to use care in the future when committing to staff summer events. John mixed up the times and didn’t have volunteers there when the CO staff expected, so we would do well to take greater care with details in the future. We expect the donation by 7/25/16.
    7/10 Bluebird Hill Winery—
    Dorothy attended, and there were some others in attendance.
  1. Building Task Force

Dorothy met recently with Junction City Electric (which also now owns RG Smith Electric) to forecast the installation for the Phase 2 Main Hall lighting improvements. Electrician does not expect problems putting the new lights on one or more additional circuits. Installation is expected to take two workers two days.

  1. Resale shop volunteer screening

Rachelle reviewed her experience this month with a volunteer who worried her.  Many years ago we routinely ran criminal background checks on parent coop volunteers, and we probably need to get back in that habit.  The board agreed that this is reasonable for both parent coop volunteers and resale shop volunteers.  Rachelle agreed to inquire with the school district about what service they use to check volunteers.

  1. So. Benton Community Advisory Group (SBAG) for M. Hull bequest

Roger reported no news from SBAG.

  1. New Business

We have been contacted by a woman who wants bring large groups of girls to Alpine from Camp Alpine for some community service volunteering. Dorothy and Rachelle will try to coordinate this to do a deep cleaning in the community center.
