BNFCF Board Meeting 11-28-2016

EVENT PROGRAM DISCUSSION

Barbara Skillman discussed the intention of her committee to utilize a new printing vendor.

HOLLAND SCHOLARSHIP

President Lancellot and Mr. Ogan discussed meeting with FSW College Chief Development Officer, Lou Traina. Several options were discussed regarding the optimum way for the Foundation to fund the proposed scholarship for a deserving child meeting the Foundations goals and criteria. The options included creating a scholarship endowment. This option carries certain guarantees by FSW that may prove advantageous to the Foundation. It was the Board’s consensus that more thought and research was necessary. Also discussed was the utilization of the Lee County School Board’s “Take Stock” program to assist in identifying deserving recipients of the Scholarship. There was also discussion about the source of funds for the Scholarship program. Memorials for Mr. Holland, Special Needs and the scheduled Burnside party were all discussed. In conjunction with funds, the Board discussed the most appropriate way to announce the Scholarship Fund to the Pipers.

SATURDAY EVENT

Sarah Martini-Ricci discussed the proposed Friday night preview of Auction items, and the availability of pre-registration. The Board expressed support for this process.

There was then a general discussion regarding attendance at the Saturday combined event. The discussion centered on who would be eligible to attend. The primary question was whether the event should be open to non-pipers. After further discussion, Mr. Smith moved the following Resolution, which was duly seconded and approved, with Ms. Van Der Mey abstaining:

RESOLVED, that the Saturday Night combined event shall be limited to Foundation Pipers, Sponsors, participants in the Tennis Event, and their respective guests. All Pipers and participants and respective guests shall pay the fee set by the Board.
