[Fundraising] Re: Motion: Adopt Project Sponsorship Proposal

The Friday meeting is fine. it doesn't conflict with a standing meeting... Just a lot of fires to fight all of the sudden. My sincere apologies for having to block out.

Folks,

Well, it's Wednesday evening and by my count I got a +1 from Michael. I
got some questions from Gary, but no clear support for the motion.  No
one else responded.

I'm going to take this as the motion being *defeated* for lack of support
even though there were no objections.  I don't feel a major program can
be recommended to the board without more support from within the committee
than this.

At this point, I'm feeling quite ineffective in the role of Fundraising
chair, and I'd like to solicit volunteers to take the chair, though I'm
fine to stay as a member of the committee.

Dave, you expressed an interest before, would you be willing to take the
reigns?  I think we likely need to arrange a new meeting, but our old
meeting time is apparently in conflict with a recurring meeting of Gary's
so we should likely pick a new time slot.

Best regards,
--
