Club Impact Volunteer Meeting
October 5th (12th?), 2009
7:00 PM
Location TBA (soon!)
****
I. Sign in. New folks need to sign with contact information. If current volunteers have had any changes to contact info, please let us know!
II. Old business
Still need a venue for the 10th
Money situation
Brick City business: incident and clean out
Merchandising stuff -- how to make more of this?
Viaduct stuff -- wrap up and be done.
Board of Directors stuff. Brittany's Dad? Other suggested folks? How are we doing?
Is the "Constitution" something we can all live with, or does it need to be changed? I want this DONE.
III. Committee reports would normally go here. If anyone who has signed up (I don't have the paper in front of me) has something to add or report, do so!
Truthbox stuff and letters/emails from bands, message board stuff that warrants sharing, etc.
IV. New business
Venue stuff
Marty Campbell get together -- working with other orgs like Soccer Club and Lincoln Center, etc.
Club Impact scrapbook -- archiving our Club's history!
General statement: if a band or manager is obnoxious, making a Club Impact staff person feel crowded or pestered, is beligerent (and this is subjective, so will be a case by case, probably). NO ONE deserves that. NO ONE on our staff, in particular. If someone is making themselves a large-scale problem, do not hesitate to get in contact with Sara, Paul, Kerry, or Craig. We can advise, and if need be, step in.
Suggestion for providing meal: break meals into portions (appetizer, salad, main, dessert, whatever). Have several volunteers take responsibility for one portion of dinner as a donation to Club Impact.
It cuts out the major work of preparing a large meal, it cuts out the need for Impact to reimburse because it's harder to donate a whole meal than a part...it just seems to make sense if we can keep everyone on top of who is bringing what. Input?
V. Plans for shows?
Dates? Places? Who's playing? Who's running sound? How are we coordinating dinner?
I hate being the one to bring this up, because I feel like I'm being disrespectful to Club Impact's roots and culture, but we *really* need to consider the "faith based" designation in our articles of incorporation. It cuts us out of some grants. It opens us up for others, but many of those want us to practice religion their way if they give us money (which...ultimately...is kinda fair since it's their money to give), which doesn't allow us to protect the integrity of how we practice outreach and ministry. We have to have an honest discussion about how well this designation is serving us. This will probably not get resolved in a single meeting, but I want to put it out there. I know I probably don't *need* to say this, but please remember that our "give respect, get respect" grew out of a Christian-founded example that was a vital part of the vision that began the Club we love. Thank you.
