Friends of Nashmore Meeting Minutes
Sept. 19, 2019
1. Looking for volunteers to help on the committee
• Kelly to shadow Lori, Jen to help Lisa with bulletin board/signs
• Looking for someone to help with chairperson duties – minutes, e-mails, forms, etc.
2. Financial Report
• After the fundraisers last year, and buying the picnic tables, we still have a healthy balance
3. Fundraising priorities
• Teachers have need for some smaller tech items like HDMI cables, light bulbs for smartboards and projectors – Alex to get rough number of what’s needed
• Paving the tennis courts
o these are school property, very rough and not used much right now
o Alex got a quote for paving and there are also some funding opportunities
o could make this area an extension of the playground for basketball, hockey, hopscotch, etc.
o we could help out with getting the site ready to pave – Alex to look into what would be covered by the district
o questions about doing this when there will be a new school replacing NMS – any new school would be several years down the road
• Risers for school events – these are rented for this year’s Christmas concert already but can still raise money to buy for next year
4. Fundraising opportunities
• School partnership with Rotary and York Care Centre – could do a fundraiser like a spaghetti dinner – Alex talked to them and they’re interested
• Y’s Men Breakfast – Lori put our name down again – usually takes 2-3 years

• Chapters
o We can have a Chapters night where 15% of sales go to us
o We do up the flyer and hand them out at the store, only certain days available, would be from 6-9 pm

• Christmas Craft Fair – rent out tables to local crafts people
• Pizza fundraiser with Papa John’s – do later in the year
• Door mats – someone with a business on FB does this locally and pant on them whatever you want – she would drop the price a bit for us and we can sell for what we want – no minimum order
