Community

Stacy Shaw presenting information on HOBY – not asking for donation at this point but may do so in the future if HOBY is unable to raise the money

HOBY is in need of financial support

HOBY needed $5000 donation last year, has $30,000 in reserve

Currently the team has no special services chair or fundraising chair

There is a yard sale set up for Feb

Looking into corporate sponsors – whoever gives the most money will get billing

It will cost $4000 to house and feed JC staff

The car raffle last year gave $1000.00 and raised $8000.

Planning on lowering prices for raffle this year

Melissa Taylor– could we give incentives to people who raise money

Jen Jerzak– due we receive money from HOBY national

Jeff Zabawa– the chapter should support this project – will encourage chairs to step up

Dupre Jones– could we write a proposal to the state

Jen Jerzak– will budgets already be set

Jeff Zabawa- the board could amend the budget to give money if needed

Melissa Taylor - made a motion to endorse HOBY clue in Wilmington

Kim Bagley – seconded motion

Christine Bauer – what does it mean to legally endorse

Jeff Zabawa – it would mean that we stand behind the project

We would not provide manpower or money

This would expand exposure for HOBY

They need to be endorsed so that HOBY international will cover the insurance
