Committee Update Reports

 

Fund Raising – Kinsman will assist with computer draw. Computer has been selected. Goulds have donated the mini fridge. Kinsmen will get licence and tickets should be ready by the end of the month.

NB office supply has offered to run a Christmas Card making workshop and donate any and all proceeds to Safe Grad. To be held at the High School. It was indicated that an ad had been put out for this item already but dates and locations were not known at this point. Donna will get a hold of Nancy Fumerton and confirm.

Prayer Bears were brought up as an idea for fundraising. Sold through a local church they can be purchased from the church and then resold for profit. Cost of bears was indicated to be approx $10 and would have to be sold at $12-$15 for profit. It was noted that these may be hard to resell and people who really wanted them would as likely have bought them through the church at the lower cost so no interest was expressed.

 

Designated Driver Program   There are 3 bookings so far. One is this coming weekend and there are 2 scheduled for Dec 10. Drivers are needed for all events (approx 6 per event.

There was also a request if drivers would be available for a week night (Dec 13 04) would require parents to do driving due to lateness. Val indicated that her preferred method of communication is via e-mail and she can be contacted at vgamble@mail.drytel.net

 

Coffee house - Date confirmed for coffee house is Feb 19th. Hall (Agricultural Building) is booked for evening of the 18th and the whole day on the 19th. There is a tentative meeting of this group next Monday night at 7 pm in room 120.

 

Decorating   Theme is set for this year. It will be “Hollywood Nights”. It was indicated that there is money available for start up to obtain supplies and inquiries should be discussed with the treasurer.

There was an expression of interest from a local group who may want to rent some of our unused or previously used decorations. It was put to the group if this is something that we wanted to do. It was noted that this sounded like a reasonable use for them but a concern over possible damage would require a degree of care and concern on behalf of the group in the rental.

 

Entertainment – Working on getting DJ Party works and games booked and or confirmed. There was a request from local business regarding lazer tag. This was put to consideration but cost and security concerns may be an issue.

 

School Council Nothing to report but noted that they are available if required.

 

Prize Patrol – Nothing to report

 

New Items

 

Parent Teacher Night – Require volunteers to staff Safe Grad table introducing safe grad to parents. Hand out information etc.

 

Volunteer Fair – Safe Grad has a booth in the local volunteer fair held in the School on Nov 24th and requires volunteer parents to staff. There were 2 volunteers Heather Boyko and Linda Dahmer who indicated that they would be available. If anyone else is interested pleas call one of these folks to assist.

 

Rental of storage area – Question was put forward if we required more space in our rental unit for storage of items. It was noted that some items had been disposed due to wear and tear and that the unit had ample room so no expansion is seen as required.

 

Meeting was adjourned at 7:45
