If there is to be a book fair, a contract needs to be signed with the book company by May 1 st . The opinion of those present at the meeting was that a book fair is desirable if it can be worked out. Doug Farquhar reported on the capital campaign. The feasibility study had positive results. There is major gift potential for the school, and positive feedback from the local community.
More preparation is needed before the campaign is launched.
The plan is to begin in January of 2002 with the silent phase of the campaign. A suggestion was made to use the Winterfest funds to kick off the capital campaign. A question was then raised about whether the three divisions would like to have the money for items on their wish lists. Ken Smith said he will talk to the administrative council to see how they would prefer the money be spent. In addition, Bram will be asked to prepare a year end projection, as well as actual to date results so that we will have a better sense of what total amount will be available for distribution.
