Guests: Mary Ellen de la Pena
The meeting was called to order at 4:15 PM by Jolene Culbertson
Minutes for May were read but not approved due to a lack of a quorum.
Financial Report
Joan presented the May Financial report. There was a discussion but no approval due to a lack of a quorum.
Committee Reports
Program/ Community Outreach: Jolene did "Date Rape" talks at North Kitsap High School and Bremerton High School last week, and will be discussing SANE and DV at the Soroptimists next week.
Picnic Update: Here is a list of the assigned tasks.
It is important that you let Joan know what you have accomplished so that she can pass it on to the board. That will keep us from duplicating. Also, remember to bring an ice chest and 2 bags of ice. We now have only 3 confirmed dunkees...The Bremerton High Resource officer, The Bremerton High Assistant Principal & The City of Bremerton Municipal Court Judge Doctor (go Bremerton:)). We need at least 5 more so please try and get some people to participate and then let Joan know asap! Remember there are lots of hungry people this year due to the recession so go for as much stuff as possible! We usually run out with 300 so try for 400+. And don't forget to pass out your picnic flyer (attached).
Perpetrator Treatment / Victim's Services: No report.
Faith Community Action Group: Jackie reported that Debbie and Monica (YWCA) went to Faith Temple Church and attended 3 Bible studies to talk about DV and were well recieved.
Triple Play: Jody was at the last meeting and it was poorly attended. She suggested that maybe the meeting locations could rotate among different treatment providers offices, and/or maybe the meeting time could be changed so it is not during the work day.
Respect: Joan reported that the bill has been paid for the taping of the play on dating violence. Pam reported that the dating violence posters have been distributed to 3 locations.
Minority: No report.
Membership: No report.
Old Business:
Summit Planning: Jolene has been in contact with Rebecca Drekke (Keynote at Summit last year) from the Stalking Center and we need to have another discussion before I'll know if they plan to provide a speaker. Jolene has a call out for a speaker on internet safety, but no response yet.
Stickers for brochures: Joan will contact Joyce to see if she has an estimate, or if we should proceed with a purchase of stickers.
Audit: Nothing new. Joan will see if she can contact Georgina re; her availability for performing an audit.
New Business:
We have talked about doing an online fund raiser via e-bay with a friend of Joan's who has done it before for charity. We would designate certain days of the week and location to drop off things and Joan would help her pick up. Example: Thursdays at Port Orchard Windermere, Wed. at YWCA Bremerton. On those days we would arrange to have it picked up and taken to her house. After fees, shipping costs etc. 60% of the proceeds goes to the Task Force! Sort of like a garage sale without the hassle. This could be an ongoing fundraiser too! We would advertise it in our newsletter and on our website and of course expect the board to participate too. We would emphasize NO JUNK and there would be a weight limit of approx. 10 lbs (exceptions occasionally made) to reduce shipping charges. Things that sell are name brand anything (clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.) old records, comics, sports cards, autographed anything, china, vintage items (baby toys, clothing, shoes, jewelry) electronics such as recent cell phones, I-pods, mp3 players, CD's, DVD's, even video sets, old magazines, nostalgic items, knick-knacks, artwork, scenic photographs, etc. Large items like furniture and cars can be sold via e-bay but would be picked up from the owners location. What doesn't sell, that she has in her possession she will take to Goodwill or St. Vincent's etc. She retains 40% of proceeds to cover her time and the fees that will be incurred for items that don't sell.
So far the board thinks it is a good idea. Since it is hard for people to donate cash we thought this would be a good option....people always have things to get rid of:). If the rest of you could give Joan your feedback, and it is positive, I would get the info in the newsletter that will go out shortly and let her know to start preparing for it.
Mary Ellen de la Pena, County Human Services Planner, attended the meeting to review the evaluations turned in by Board members. 7 were turned in for 2009, 10 in 2008. The evaluations are related to our funding from the County via the "Community Mobilization Grant".
We reviewed last years' summary of the evaluations and compared it to this years' summary. Our funds are intact until July 2010. Discussion followed:
Pam discussed the impact of the Teen dating Violence Workshops, Poster/Play contests and the Summits. Mary Ellen agreed that the Summits create a huge positive impact on the community and service providers.
Mary Ellen suggested that we could tailor the survey to better suit us if we felt that would gather better response as long as we make our own recommendations.
The board agreed to leave it as it is...just stress that it is a requirement for funding. The board felt that we should be able to get all 15 board members to respond to next years assessment.
The assessment results are due at the end of June. Mary Ellen will email the results to Joan to forward to the board.
Meeting adjourned at 5:50 PM
Minutes respectfully submitted by
Jolene Culbertson and Joan Taie
