VII. Old Business a. Outreach Chair North was trying to make a presentation and had made a presentation at Freedom Shores Elementary School. If anyone had a school they wanted her to visit, Chair North requested they let her know. She was trying to get the Board's name out there and partner, specifically if they are fundraising. b. Fundraising Ms. Calixte-Dieuvil recalled they had discussed fundraising at the last meeting. Ms. Wilkinson explained the information she has is whether the members want to serve soda at an ArtiGras event. She contacted the Chamber of Commerce and the ArtiGras event will be held on Saturday and Sunday, February 15th and 16th. If the members want to participate to use it as a fundraiser and the opportunity is still available, she will sign them up for it. She reminded the members they will need to stay for a number of hours and they need a number of people. The event is in Jupiter in Abacoa. It is a juried art show and they have a Pepsi truck there. They just need people. There are four different trucks at the event and the Girl Scouts do a number of them, and she was not sure the opportunity would still be available. There is no charge to volunteer. There are tickets to see the art show, but not for volunteering. They would volunteer to hand out soda and at the end of the day they would receive a check for$500. Additionally, the members would get to keep the tips received. Ms. Wilkinson would talk to the Chamber and send the information to Ms. Claude for her to email the members. The truck must be manned the whole time. She thought the hours would be noon to 5:00 p.m. both days. Vice Chair Murphy noted the members were asked to bring ideas for fundraising to the meeting. He commented he participated,with another group, the Dine to Donate at Texas Roadhouse. On a designated Monday or a Thursday, all who come in and says they are with the Education and Youth Advisory Board, would have 10% of their bill dedicated to the Board. If selecting two days, the Board would receive 15% of the total bill. The Scholarship Team at his church fundraised this way. They reserved two days and received a nice amount for the scholarship. Vice Chair Murphy had the contact information. Once the Board picks a date, they create flyers and distribute them. The establishment also writes the name of the organization on the Board. At the end of the night, they receive a money order, no cash outlay needed. Texas Roadhouse does it, as does Chick-fil-A, Chili's and others. Vice Chair Murphy explained the first day of their fundraiser, they had 200 people show up. Chair North liked the idea. Vice Chair Murphy suggested picking four days: a day in March and April, or one in February and one in March. The members selected their dates. Vice Chair Murphy will check with the restaurant and report at the next meeting. 3 Meeting Minutes Education and Youth Advisory Board Boynton Beach, Florida January 23, 2020 IX.
