6.3 Kiosk had been approached by Regional Womens Committee and Human Rights to purchase a kiosk for future venues. At present there is nothing that is visual and if decide to purchase one would be thirds. Price wise, looking at approximately $1200.00 with each committee contributing approximately $400.00.
Look at preparing three options and Cherylynn was going to prepare a case and send it off to Robyn
MOTION “Put a ceiling of $400.00 for the 1/3 contribution of purchasing a
Kiosk”. Dave/second Jerad/carried
6.2.2 Habitat for Humanities the call for volunteers was very poor in responding from a membership of 4000 members. In the end we got 12 volunteers (1o members and 2 staff)
