Community Fundraising
(Karen Schellhorn)
Project Presented: Dining In (Initial)
Chair: Joy Rau (presented by Kim Bagley)
Dupre Jones moved to approve the CPG with a $0 appropriation.
Beth Connell seconded the motion.
Motion to accept the CPG passed.
Project Presented: 2005 HOBY (Initial)
Chair: Stacey Shaw
Tina Gordon moved to accept CPG as written.
Christine Bauer stated she had apprehension about the $5,000 from Raleigh Jaycee chapter. She agrees we should stand by the project if financial stability continues to grow, but thinks it is premature to take out $5,000 from the Raleigh Jaycees account and move it to the HOBY account
Allison Friar said it is important to remember we are the CIF board and are expecting $5,000 from the chapter. The Raleigh Jaycee chapter can then vote on the matter when it is needed.
Reed Hollander asked if Stacey wanted the $5,000 from the chapter because of concern from contributions or to build up the reserve from the HOBY account.
Stacey said both. She can’t guarantee what will come in. HOBY has lost relationships with sponsors and cant guarantee the sponsorships will work out. She feels the chapter should support HOBY.
Reed stated he was happy with HOBY asking for an appropriation from the chapter if there is a shortfall from revenue, but is not comfortable putting in an expected donation. He hopes it would be a self-sustaining project and would not need chapter funds.
James Massengill echoes both Reed and Christine’s comments and would like to move from donation to appropriation.
Jeff Gordon reminded the board they are looking at a request to make of the Raleigh Jaycees. As of tonight, the committee is lacking members.
Jeff Zabawa asks for point of clarification and asks if we are talking to other Jaycee chapters in the state.
Stacey Shaw said she has recruited one person from Greensboro and that her and Jeff have completed a few grant applications.
Jeff Gordon stated they did look to other chapters but the state refuses to make it a state project. They were unsuccessful in getting other chapters involved but said that doesn’t mean they cant get other Jaycee members involved.
Karen Schellhorn stated that HOBY couldn’t count on money they have not seen before.
Kim Bagley stated that next year’s president would be re-evaluating the state priority projects. She also pointed out that the Raleigh Jaycees do not give Goodfellows donations right off the top.
Chris Compton said that since this is the first time HOBY is running under CIF and the Raleigh Jaycees are a different entity, leaving it as a donation would seem to next years board as if we intended it that way.
Dupre Jones stated he was glad to see the budget reflect lessons learned and hopes HOBY will be flexible with the car raffle.
Reed Hollander said the committee might want to consider both an appropriation and a donation and make the request for donation not until Jan/Feb. It may be easier for the board to say they can give an appropriation if the fundraising falls short.
Stacey wonders how she is going to tell is she is falling short if they are relying on the back account?
Tina Gordon said she is in favor of the CPG as written and the board has not nit picked any other budget as much.
Tina Gordon calls to question.
