He’s not found a bank for our money. Kate has found one or more banks that will allow us to start with $30 says Justin. Garry needs to talk with her.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">--At 9:12, Deb Reed and George talk about charity cycling. Cycling Challenge is the name of the institution. Registration for a cycling event with the institution includes a T-shirt and cycling bag. There’s a 15 dollar registration fee. Those registered get a packet for fundraising via pledges. Registered riders or teams of riders get sponsored by those pledging. Cycling is indoors.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">Cycling challenge puts on all sorts of events for fundraising. We can try for a cycling team.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">Justin suggests the entire affiliate should participate.

Trevor sent a tentative flyer to Kate and Brenton. He hopes they got it. Included in the email were questions: should we mention mentoring possibilities and our FB page. Justin is comfortable with having people visit our FB page. We’ll need someone to guard it against improper exploitation from a business or other entity.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">--Gary mentions the idea of selling snack food prior to the state convention for fundraising. This is something to put on our up-coming agendas. Perhaps we can have snack packs delivered to hotel rooms says Garry. We can offer discounts to early purchasers. We should talk about what goes in the snack pack in future discussions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">The convention will be after Halloween, which means cheap candy. Garry’s Trick or Treat Bag perhaps? We’ll also probably want non-candy items. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">--Next philosophy call! 9:44.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%">Maybe we can just have a conversation starter based on what we do in certain challenging circumstances.
