May 26th Board meeting minutes
TFC Board Meeting Thursday, May 26, 2010
Present: David, Casandra, Michelle, Ken, Molly, Corrinne, Amber
Casandra and Molly discussed getting information to volunteers who will be tabling for us at events. We would like to have a list of one-time events (e.g. Art On The Ave) that we should be at in addition to the regular farmers markets.
We will have a cash box and $20 to go along to events.
We will be selling the TFC canvas bags for $5 including tax.
We will ask David Cook to add an extra address line to the rack cards and Casandra will have 500 (or so) new copies.
Michelle will e-mail the entire mailing list calling for volunteers to be coordinators for the tabling events, to table at those events, and to be on a member benefits taskforce. She will also ask if anyone is interested in being appointed to fill the two vacant board positions. She will also ask if anyone is interested in being webmaster.
Casandra needs to re-form a technology committee, and specifically needs someone who can work on the website.
open board positions: amber
volunteer coordinator: should be a board member (or at least commit to attending all board meetings) and needs to be someone who can coordinate and administrate volunteers, screen and educate potential volunteers, maintain a calendar of events and tabling opportunities, and establish a process of orienting (“on-boarding”) new members
Corrinne regularly gets several e-mail inquiries from people wanting more information about membership and/or about the co-op in general. It was suggested that she attach the membership form to e-mails for people who are interested.
Ariel is taking a leave of absence from her newsletter, so we need a new person to write that.
Ken has offered to jump-start the volunteer coordinator process, with the understanding that the reins may be handed over to another volunteer (or work-study person) as soon as possible. Corrinne will send Ken e-mail addresses of people who have expressed interest in volunteering.
Ken has the insurance form from Unified. He clarified with us some answers in order to complete the form, which will result in a bid for us.
We have a letter of intent finalized with John Loesch. We need to add a memorandum of understanding.
The plan was for Pete Davis to be here within the next two weeks to do a market analysis and write a memorandum. We discussed the logistics and feasibility of having him do this analysis, given that $2000 is a lot of money for us to spend at this point. We voted unanimously to cancel the study. Molly will contact him and get more information about what he could provide for us and then we will decide more specifically what we want.
Meeting time for June 10 is changed: the meeting will now happen from 6-8 p.m. at Trinity House.
