Hi everyone,
Here are the notes from today's meeting:
BON APPETIT
- No updates at this time - Marty has been attempting to reach out via email but no response
- They may be too busy to keep up with email so he will go in person if necessary
GRANT APPLICATION
- Time sensitive - application is due June 1st
- First draft is complete and has been sent to various subcommittee members for review and comment
- Brenda will manage changes and hopefully send out revised draft by EOD tomorrow
- Final draft scheduled for completion on Saturday
- Melissa has a lot of experience with grant writing and has offered to look over the application as well
MISCELLANEOUS
- If we decided to purchase a Zoom account, the annual cost would be $149.90
- Brian found a Facebook page called "Maine Needs" which may be a good place to find ways to help
- We would like to invite Jim Labelle to speak at the next Rotary meeting regarding the state of the local economy
- To be discussed next week - letting people come to us for help
RE-OPENING CONCERNS
- Thermometers and PPE are significant expenses for small businesses
- It would be nice if we could donate thermometers (with Rotary logo) to local organizations
- We will need to look into availability, cost, sourcing, etc. to determine feasibility
- Other expenses for re-opening include awnings for outdoor programs, hand washing stations, and individually sized products
- Childcare providers in particular are currently struggling and can be reached via Biddeford Ready - Melissa forwarded contact info to Conrad
Have a great weekend!
Thank you,
Kaitlin
