10. Social Justice Fund
Gus had discussed with Tracy about the funds that we have in the Social Justice Fund and they felt that Kookums Daycare was a good choice to re-allocate our monies. We’ll have to work with them to come up with a purpose such as a fundraiser to change our $500 to $3,500. They are fundraising to be able to move the daycare from the 4th floor of the building down to the main floor and also to purchase playground equipment. Gloria said she’d work with Gus on coming back to the Area Council with more information, possibly ask their contact to come and speak with us at our next meeting.
