Terri asked for the last Regional Council meeting to be sent to Susan but she has not received them yet. Terri will go to the December meeting and speak at the Jan QM meeting.
Monday December 10th 6:30 at Kenner
Good response of survey that was sent out to all children.
Represents parents who do not come to meetings.
Big question is do we or do we not fundraise.
Jane feels that funfair and the ice cream party is for the children and they appreciate it.
Selda is suggesting we make a fundraising plan of asking for dollar amount sponsorship for specific items : i.e. $40 for 4 pinnies, BP cost $ per day-donate a day or week. Would we be able to collect money for a naturalize playground but keep the funds until we have enough to purchase all items. Yes we can.
Kim suggested a we make a card with the description of the item they purchased for donation to give to the child. Put up 3 ideas for the xmas concert. BP, Pinnies, kinder shirts.
**Susan did a walk around with Drew Monkman suggested we finish the sundial, the butterfly garden and we do not need a naturalized area. Angie asked if there are any teachers willing to champion these places but Susan has not brought that to the staff yet.
Tues Dec 17th. Same day as turkey lunch. Dress rehearsal at 2pm.
Event will take place at 6:30. 45 min long. Maybe do 3 carols at the end of the night with council and kids at the front. Council will free cookies, make a donation tin for BP. Dawn will do program, Jane will do song sheets, Amanda and Angie and Naomi will put up lights, Angie will ask parent Shai Peer of he will lead the sing a long. We will make signs and try the “sponsor a piney, or class for BP” and put donation jars. We will put the table down the hall by Nancy Zomer’s room. Will accept cash or cheque donations for BP-if over $20 they can get a receipt for charitable donation. Selda will send out an email from the new volunteer list for cookie bakers. Jenny Chambers will make thank you cards for donations at cookie table.
Quick overview of last survey. Jane will submit the answers.

New Business: Bring fundraising ideas to the table in January.
Lisbeth Shaw and Lisa Noble is looking for $500 towards art supplies for a Spring Fling art show.
Pinnies-we have indoor/outdoor sports equipment money-can we use this money for the pinnies?
Meeting adjourned at 8:20pm.
