FoHPS Board Minutes November 6, 2019
It was great to see such a large turn-out at today’s Board Meeting. For those of you who could not make it, the following is a brief summary:
- Breaking into committees. Danielle passed out and emailed a committee list yesterday of committees we created. Ideally, everyone will sign up for one or more committees.
- We are going to add a culmination committee so if any of you want to join that one please let us know.
- If you have a recommendation of a committee that we should add please let us know.
- Annual Giving Campaign Committee Update
- This year FoHPS has thus far raised approximately $280,000 and we should receive a $100,000 for the PLB match. FoHPS other fundraisers, banner sales, and grants have historically brought in an additional $35,000. FoHPS hopes to do even better and raise more. FoHPS will continue to sell Spirit Wear and we will sell yearbooks in the Spring.
