President’s Report: Miguel would like to see additional nominees present next month, so that we are prepared for next board election. Kyle and Naomi will be stepping down, therefore there will be two openings, and 1 candidate potentially a new island resident, Candy. Jim suggests this be publicized to increase potential for more candidates
Miguel would like to get a stage set up for outside events. Additional suggestions made for a portable stage or requesting permission to use the FIYC stage.

More discussion will be made later this week and will consult with the Building Committee.

Unfinished Business: Last week, we formed a new committee called the Communications committee. It was determined that a change is needed to the publications; monthly Flash and Quarterly FICRA News publication. Rather than a 1st of the month publication, it will be a publication based on need with flexible dates, of all the activities or events to be a spotlighted, or in a News Flash/Bulletin. Topics will be discussed at each board meeting and committees are provided opportunity to present their articles at that time. Karen, Jim, Candy Wawro, Cheryl Nelson and Miguel will be working together. Janet Steiner has offered 1/2 page of community news (Feb 20th for April publication) for all FI organizations.
