Board Report
| |
SCRAP Sunday is big news for our board. We have been working hard "behind the scenes" to recruit potential board members, site volunteers and donors. Michael and Ann Singer are spearheading the effort to engage more stakeholders on the board and expand the SCRAP community. Fundraising is our number one responsibility as a board and this is our first effort to build a donor base for the organization. SCRAP Sunday is about "friendraising", the most important step in creating a giving relationship. It's been fun planning this event and I look forward to seeing you on August 26.
