3. Ongoing Business
a. Fletcher High School fundraising committee was present for voting of uniform
donation. Voting did not take place in January due to lack of quorum.
Committee discussed ideas to help school raise money
i. Lynne raised question of how many bids were received before deciding
to go with present company. School committee replied that they
received several bids.
ii. Tammy motioned for donation of$500; Lynne motioned for$1,000
donation. Advised by Lori that$1,000 is remaining balance in
discretionary account. Jeff shared that he was uncomfortable leaving
account empty in case something else is brought to the committee
between now and September. Stated he was alright with $500 donation.
Lori agreed with Jeff. Cris made a point that the committee gives funds
to the elementary schools,so why not the high school that most kids in
this community will go to? Motioned for$500 donation, committee
voted 6-1 in favor. Fletcher High School Band needs donations by end of

Shack building owner; however a temporary mural was approved by
someone for bicycle safety. It will be researched to find out how they
got approval and from whom.
iv. Arts in the Park-Timmy Johnson revealed this year's poster to the
committee. Concern was raised since the committee unanimously did
not approve of the poster and had not been presented additional art(as
requested previously) to vote on for final print. Lori will call present
artist, Philip Walker,to request additional art to be voted upon by
March 7. Events for the day were discussed, Committee was asked to
volunteer for event.
v. MarshFest 2013- Fun Run idea to tie in with MarshFest. At first
committee was opposed,after Jeff presented idea of bringing more
people out and have early run through trails and the island, including
involving 1st Place Sports for marketing, committee was alright with
idea. Further discussion will take place between Jeff and Timmy after
decision of 1st Place Sports is reached.
1. Art Exhibit at MarshFest- idea was declined due to keeping the
event to be nature minded, not making it into a small AITP.
2. Suggested that better food vendors are used, need more
volunteers,and suggested guided tours around island
