Dick suggested a fundraiser to take place in the month of September and asked the cooperation of Ken McBride as an entertainer. Ken will provide us with a press release for the future fund raiser, which at the present moment the suggested time would be September 28th . More information to come after we contact Robert Downy on the possibility of using the Church Hall for this event. Jacquie suggested to redact letters to several entities such as Shoprite, Acme to donate some meal platters for the event.
​
We also discussed membership development that we need to attract new members to help us with our cause. One idea came from Ken McBride with the suggestion that each member of the board could bring two or three members a year.
Ken McBride provided information about us getting potential help from Barbara Isaccson, she is interested in helping our cause. He suggested to Dick to contact her to provide and obtain more information.
