Sign-up sheets will be sent out.
ShupingWang: No new members; all the members should have received a CCAE bulletin last week to ensure that you are a member.

(1) low income (2) 70 hours attendance (3) should have the teacher’s ok
Annette suggested to make posters that the students will understand. Spell it out to them. Advertise with emphasis on eligibility. Cal-Works students are not eligible.
Annette stated that CCAE has done well in its fundraising and we have money for the awards. There was discussion about raising the amount of awards by $1000. CCAE will determine the total amount and break it out with a minimum of $200 for six scholarships. Ingrid said that $200 is a good amount. Frances moved to allocate another $1000 for scholarship. It was seconded by Brenda. Everyone agreed…motion passed. We have allocated a total of $2500 for scholarship with $300 going to Heck to use for volunteer’s award, Heck will determine who will get the volunteer awards.
