I talked to Kim today and we were shooting for a 10AM meeting. It
sounds like this will work for most folks.
As for Ren not being there, I emailed her today (no response yet)
about having a meeting sometime before August 14 to get her
thoughts. This was Kim's idea actually, and seems like a good one.
I asked Ren for some dates that work for her and will circulate
those around so that anyone locally who wants to go to that one can
let me know which of those dates will work for them.
As for the Agenda on the 14th, I think we need to finalize the
specifics of the award, how it will be awarded, and the process for
determining recipients. Also, discuss any future fundraising to
increase the award principle. One thought I had, since we already
surpassed our initial goal, is to give out 4% annually to the award
recipients and 1% goes back into the principle. That way, we
continually grow the award even without asking people for money
again. Finally, I think we should think about how we want the
display to look like in Fraser. Ren and Kim had talked about a
plaque and info about Lisa and her life and the award and the
donors. One idea I had, being a geographer, was that the donors
would be listed by hometown, in addition to by name. We could even
have a map showing where all the donors are from. I think Lisa
would have loved it and plus it shows the wide distribution of
people who's lives she touched.
Anyway, that's how things are shaping up for the 14th.
