[Bookstoprisoners] this Saturday

[Niloofar Shambayati]

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I have a conflict this Sat. & won't be able to make it to the meeting.  I think we should give a serious thought to the idea of finding a reliable source of funding, such as  grant money.   Can this be discussed on Sat.?  As far as I can assess, rather than trying to hire a coordinator, we need to find someone who'd be able to write up a grant proposal & look for potential donors.  We spend too much time on soliciting few $s here & there which leaves precious little time to be devoted to sending out books.  On a smaller scale of importance, if I remember correctly, the post office accepts folded sheets of mail with address labels directly pasted on them which require lower-rate stamps.  If this is still the case, it saves both time & money.  Barbara can clarify this during Sat. meeting.  Sorry I'll miss the meeting.

  Hello all--

  We are going to have 5-10 extra volunteers this Saturday from an Engineering Sorority.  They will be coming at 3:30 (hopefully our meeting can be done by then) and will be happy to do whatever work we have for them. 

  I would be happy to compile the agenda for our meeting if people want to send me items.

  I have tabled from the last meeting the following items:

  1. Setting expectations/boundaries for the BTP coordinator position 

  2. Volunteer coordinator position

  Additional items I can think of:

  Brief update on the satellite jail library and volunteer recruitment

  Brief update on alternative gift program

  If Sandra is able, accounting information 

  Any other items?

  Suzanne
