- Potential training sponsorships AP- can’t move forward until we get charitable status with the specific Companies
VII. New Business
- MDD do we want to continue to cover fence repairs? Misty suggested we cover because of RR stance on “dangerous dogs”; Amy will investigate if we can get some comps or discount on some fences with some of her contacts; will discuss further once it is investigated
- Matt needs help w/ Treasurer spot being filled; Kim B will help Kim D find a replacement. April suggests that we may have maxed out opportunities for our current volunteer pool. Maybe a good idea for Board Members to contact people in the animal welfare world to see if someone would be interested
- Discussion of tightening the Mission Statement. MV we need to think about what the mission is. Just shelter or different programs? Discussed the mission and what we want to stand for. Matt suggests that we get Trish, Mary on a call with Board members about directly tying FANS and shelter together. Extended conversation of rapid growth of FANS and possible changes
VII. Other Business
