Notes
1) Move to approve minutes – passed.

2) Status of Darkroom – Bernadette will call Carol for donated darkroom materials.

3) Logo – Tui is working on a design. We discussed as well several ideas for mascots. So far, we have: eagle, turtle, cat, sea serpent, jaguar, lion, dragon, unicorn, bat, penguin, vampire, leopard, panther, grizzly bear, white seal, lemur, squirrel, platypus, and preying mantis. We also discussed school colors: black and white, or black and black.

4) $57 was made at the yard sale on Saturday. Aaron moved we spend it on several copies of Sudbury Valley Experience. Bernadette suggested we use it to file fees for non-profit status. Robin suggested we use it to make more money; set a target amount/goal for specific needs ($500 for _____). For instance, talk to Carol at the Street Scene re. a benefit concert.

5) Fundraising: James suggested an Acordia concert, 506 benefit. James will talk to someone in Southern Culture on the Skids and Cat’s Cradle, and get details on what they need. Aaron reports Noah is still interested in the school. Aaron plans to go Mondy to the Non-Profit Resource Center in Raleigh, which is good for helping non-profits start-up, and ideas for fundraising. Grant-writing – he needs volunteers to help write a grant. A Grantwriting class ~ 9 AM at Aaron’s on Monday including a trip to Raleigh. Kim can help in the evenings – identifying places to apply, and researching what we want (past funding). The library has sources on places to write for grants.

6) The Vietnam Class is Wednesday 1-4 at Aaron’s.

7) A motion was made to vote for a Treasurer – tabled for now until we have specifics of what that would look like.

8) Brochure – Anjali worked on this on Friday. Next Friday following astrology class (1-4) to work on it more.

9) Meeting Location: next week at Ayni and Kim’s.

10) We voted to create a notice board at Carol’s and Tui’s, and post the agenda on it.

11) School location – brief discussion of Harvey’s and Paula’s respective farms.

12) James proposed a long-weekend trip to Georgia. Aaron to Kerr Dam, Nanci – Uwharrie (sp?) national forest; Tui to Blue Ridge. We proposed and voted to have a trip from June 4-6, probably to Asheville. A planning group will come together about this.
