Committee Reports

Social Committee report: 

Karen is organizing Musical Strings Concert for March 13.  Howard has been assisting her in advertised this event.

Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled on Mar 19th. Uwe and Gisela will be putting this on.  There are 1500 eggs all pre-stuffed. They need a person to wear the Easter Bunny Suit.  As well as other volunteers needed to set up, serve coffee, and then clean up.  Date Change: Sat March 19th at 10 am sharp! Last year 1300 eggs purchased. Event for Fox Island kids!

Mens coffee has donated a projector.  Plans are underway to make purchase and mounting decisions. This may open potential for having future “movie nights.” There may be additional benefit to having speakers. FICRA will prepay by leasing the  sound system. Hal has it in the budget for $3500.

 

Membership Committee: Bob Bowser reports 388 members currently. Notice sent to past members added 3 new members.  Bob would like the people here to take 5 names/numbers and call them to ask them to renew membership.  Emails have already been sent. Howard states emails and letter follow ups which were proposed, this needs to have the list given to Lisa for her to mail out. Joan suggests that Em Prep Capt also add pitch for membership to FICRA.

 

Publicity: Jim Braden reports Lisa is doing a great job as always.  Lisa states Janet Steiner from Fox Island Living would like to attend a meeting about how best to coordinate with Fox Island events.

 

Student Speaker Contest: 

Bellermine and GHHS have been contacted. No FI residents currently attend PHS.  Applications date deadline is April 30th. Uwe wants to be sure Henderson Bay, Charles Wright and Annie Wright schools are also contacted. Jim to do this. The FICRA Web site has this contest advertised.
