about the charitable donation

• • Leads for philanthropic? follow it up and if we have more projects than we can do this year then yay we have more for next year as well

• Kathy to contact IDS (Julie Ahearn) to see if we can join IDS & be part of their philanthropic project, since they always have something going.

 

account

• • getting Angela (as the new treasurer) on the Heartland account is proving difficult as Chase requires account originator present to add new people.

  • Patricia will arrange to meet with Kathy at a Chase branch and sort out adding Angela. That or get a new EIN & restart. Paula is owed $115.90 for website hosting & domain name renewal.

 

membership

• • who chases people to find out if they want to be members this year/have paid dues? Kathy volunteered to chase people

  • Carol suggested an image button that people could put on their website to show that they are IDAL members

  • For the flyer explaining benefits of going IDAL… who will write it? Dee will write the flyer

  • Blogs? Input to website - use “Shoutout” feature. Paula can load up text & pics if different people would like to write up some interesting things.  Patricia to write about the Salon experience.
