We have alot to discuss at this month's meeting this thursday! To start things off.....the Marion Grange has given a cash donation of $200 to help with the cost of our Christmas Brunch, as well as given us four new volunteers! Thanks so much to Stacy Nicoletta, Marion Grange Secretary, for securing both the hall and the donation for us!
I have filed our master business application with the state and should hear something by the time of our meeting. We have also changed our registered agent to Carol Yeaman, our Secretary-Treasurer, and will be signing and mailing the form to update the Secretary of State on thursday. We have our first dozen half pint jelly jars, and I am currently trying out recipes for our apple pies. I will bring a sample to the meeting on thursday so everyone can see how they will look. I have drawn 48 circles on some red gingham fabric, and bundled them up in sets of 12, for students to earn credit by cutting them out for us. So far we have 3 student volunteers, but I'm hoping for more to show up at this week's meeting. I have four bundles made up so far - but we will need to double that to have enough for all of the pies, and even more if we do cakes also. I also found some christmas-themed baskets to use for the take-home gifts at DollarTree. They are about 8x9" and are red and green for $1 each. Hopefully I will be able to grab some next saturday while we are out servicing our candy route. I've listed several different items for sale on our website, with 100% of all profits going to fund our Brunch. There is a baseball cap, coffee mug, and t-shirts all with the Our Shared Hopes logo and ranging in price from $10.00 to $20.00 for a combo. These are in addition to our candy Holiday Wreaths listed for $42.00 each. Shipping is included in all prices. At this week's meeting, we will discuss the kitchen crew's timing and setup, and start sorting volunteer's into specific positions. We would like to rotate shifts, to keep the volunteer's time to a minimum. To do this we would need at least 16 volunteers for the serving committee, including door monitor. Right now we fall quite short of that, but I'm sure that we will pick up more volunteers the closer we actually get to Christmas.
