    2. Town Hall quick review
    3. Website (DM) – Kiernan agreed to take over website management but will need clarification on some things prior to being able to do so.
  1. Who is doing updates?
  2. What is our workflow for updates now?
  • Website needs a full review every quarter
    1. Plans for retreat – Logistics of the retreat were discussed. These included: travel to the retreat, hotel tour, plans for meals and activities, and the Saturday meeting itself. The board discussed keeping the arrivals/departures spreadsheet updated with the correct information, as well as keeping pickup drivers updated on any travel delays.
    2. Actively seeking to bring back FB members who have left – The board discussed concerns about member retention, particularly of veteran members who feel disconnected from the organization. It was agreed that while we would not pursue returning non-Facebook members, we would be open to talking with previous members who wanted to return.
    3. Fatherhood Wines - Fatherhood Wines reached out looking to do a $500 activity sponsorship, as well as a $250 Supporting Membership.
