District Grant: Chris and Margareta are working on the
application for the 2017-18 District grant. The application is due July 1st.
Chris and Margareta presented some ideas and asked for input:
- Margareta has contacted Caren Frost at
University of Utah, Center for Research on Migration & Refugee Integration.The
project we would like to be involved in would preferably support education but
also continue on the path to support refugees. Caren Frost suggested that we
contact Alexx Goeller, who works with refugee youth.
- Margareta has also been in contact with
Shelly Burningham at Youthlinc (Shelly is the Real Life Program Director) regarding
contacts and ideas for Community Centers working with the refugee population
and in need of support. Shelly responded and verified that many of the centers
they work with need computers and kindle fires for homework. Some community
centers are well equipped, but others have no computers at all. Shelly can
direct us to the right people.
- Chris has been in contact with Salt
Lake County for ideas on projects in need of support. One idea is to assist
with a proposed Farmers Market at Sunnyvale Park, adjacent to Sunnyvale
Community Center where we have assisted with after-school activities in the
past. The suggestion was that we could assist with children’s activities during
the Farmer’s Market and use our grant for supplies.
- Michelle suggested the Women’s Center
in Midvale and she will look into that.
W2W: Chris reminded people to mark their calendars for Friday September 8, 5:30 –
8 pm at Tracy Aviary. She will send more detail that members can use to interest
people in attending. Discussed the baskets; members liked the idea of four
baskets to include a Wine basket.
Chris turned
the meeting over to Margareta to make comments as the incoming president. Margareta discussed the meeting
schedule and possible changes to when and where to hold board meetings. One
Board meeting per month could be more extensive and held at a Board member's
house. The other meetings could be more informal and be held at a coffee shop
alternatively before or after a regular business meeting. Margareta will
present her idea at the next board meeting.
Chris
talked about how close we are to receiving the Presidential Citation and that
she is working on finalizing members and accomplishments. She said the District
Conference in Park City was outstanding with many key motivational speakers
such as Martin Frey and Shannon Bahrke.
