Old Business 

  • Funds from the Benton County Fair paid for the last LBFS statement. This is awesome as we have a gap and don’t have grant funds to pay for groceries, so having what we do in fundraising has been so helpful!  

  •  

 New Business 

  • Do we want to hold distribution on Saturday the 24th and Saturday the 31st. of December? We will have pickups for the days.  

  • January 2nd will also be distribution. Stores should still be open.  

  • Holiday gift cards – Benton County--Patty 

  • We require 7 hours for Volunteer time.  

  • 2023 Officers – Nominations, Voting, etc. See Policy and Procedures for full rules.  

  • Decide if we have votes online or do we do this in person only?  

  • Alicia suggests we do this online and we do a google form where she can share the results in a photo graph. This allows for all members to participate who meet the qualifications to vote per the Policy and Procedures. Since we don’t' have a monthly membership meeting in November, we can pick a day (must be open for 30 days per LBFS rules). If we open nominations tomorrow, October 21st, we could close the nominations on Nov 21st.  (D1st). Alicia will then ask nominees if they are up for the task of being on the board and Alicia can then set up the vote online. Voting can remain open for 1 week. We could hold voting Nov 22 – 29th and then publish the votes on the 30th so any new members can start training Dec 1st. Results can be posted to the blog for members to know who the 2023 Board members will be.  

  • Positions open: Coordinator, Co-Coordinator, Secretary, and Treasurer 

  • Cooler update 

  • Open Questions and Answers -- What's going well, what’s not?  

 

 

REMINDERS: 

  • Gleaners need to sign up at least once for a cleanup shift  

  • You are allowed to volunteer more than 7 hours per month.  

 

 

Next monthly member meeting will be December 13, 2022
