$223.63 in July, for a current balance of $3,771.33. The sizable July receipts for the Education
Fund were largely due to a single $510 donation.
4. Old Business
a. Fundraising Updates: Cynthia reported that she is running in a benefit road race on
October 9th, with a $10,000 fundraising goal, where half of the proceeds will go to the
Scholarship Fund. She’s at about $2,000 so far and asked the committee members to help
promote it. Dominick mentioned that the fund’s text-to-donate links still seem active, so he
will have the October fliers made up for the Haunted Happenings shuttles. Liz suggested
the committee think about ways to partner with the Food Truck Festival, Creative Salem,
or other existing events that could be leveraged to raise funds. Lynne added that some
community groups raise money via round-up donations or collections at drive-up or drive-
through events.
5. New Business: The committee decided to place the Education Fund grant application on the
September meeting agenda, to open a new round for applicants to submit requests before an
October deadline. Dominick will place it on the agenda.
6. Adjourned: 6:53 p.m.
