To Be Done:
1) CREW IS TASKED TO COME UP WITH MEETING ACTIVITIES!!!!! Let’s make the meetings fun!!!! The goal is to have business done in 20-30 minutes and then do the activity to make the meeting more fun and informative. Still need to work on this.
2) Ashleigh is going to send information on Wednesday night skiing. Cost is $29, but it only applies to college students.
3) Plans are to have a long skiing/boarding trip for the “Super Activity” for winter 2010. Lee is supposed to be printing detail on locations and prices for ski resorts in Colorado. NO CHANGE.
4) In preparation for a long ski trip, the crew plans to do several day trips. Everyone is tasked to come up with trips that are within a 2 hour drive. Ashleigh made contact with White tail ski resort. For $150 per person we can get a room for 5, lift tickets for Friday 4:30pm to Sunday 7:30 pm and rental. Price drops to $118 for 15 or more people. Need reservation one month in advance.
5) Mount Hebron spring festival is scheduled for April 25th. The cleanup usually takes place shortly before the festival, but the date has not been set at this time. This would be a good opportunity to get our name out to the church which should help with fundraisers such as basket bingo and spaghetti dinners.
6) We need to work out the logistics for the basket ball tournament (April 4) and spaghetti dinner (Oct 17) and basket bingo.
7) Tee shirts are being ordered. NO CHANGE
8) Todd talked to Tammy Cinatto about the full first aid/CPR course. We are looking to do the course at two or three crew meetings. We will invite the troop to join us. Todd is working on dates and final costs. The still wants to do the CPR training.
9) Every month Ashleigh wants to set up an activity, a service project and a fundraiser.
