[BOD] Fwd: Next BOD meeting for Wine in the Woods/Primitive Skills

[Amanda Womac]

Thanks for the clarification Marissa. I agree re: new board members. Wine
in the Woods is a much easier way to entice folks to join the board...

If Sept. 8 works for folks, let's plan on our next meeting for that Sunday.
I'll go ahead and get it on my calendar.

Thanks!
-Amanda

>> Amanda,
>>
>> Will you schedule a board meeting for Wine in the Woods/Primitive Skills?
>> Patrick and I discussed Sat. Oct 19 as the night for the benefit. We could
>> have a google chat meeting. Would that work for you?
>>
>> The visioning for the Primitive Skills workshops that will happen around
>> Wine in the Woods is incomplete.
>>
>> Some ideas I had are:
>>
>> Invite people up for the week prior or the week after for prep and clean
>> up. This work crew would trade down some of the price of the workshops
>> although would still pay for specialty workshops to fund the instructors
>> time/travel/supplies.
>>
>> Patrick, Jared, Carol, and Marissa should work out
>> days/times/fees/workshops.
>>
>> The fee will include becoming a member of SVI as well as the Primitive
>> Skill Retreat fees.
>>
>> A person will be designated to receive and record payments.
>>
>> On the afternoon of Wine in the Woods, the gate person should give an
>> interesting wrist band or tree cookie to the members as they pay.
>>
>> Any ideas for the artist and musicians?
>>
>> If it is possible to have online registration that would be a great
>> precedent!!!
>>
>> Is the list of patrons and workshop leaders from Food for Life available
>> in electronic form?
>>
>>
>> Will people be inviting future BOD possibles to the planning for WitW?
>> and also to WitW/Primitive?
>>
>> I nominate Charles W. White and Daniel Randolph and Rebekah Mawuko and
>> Ash Lee Woodward....if you want to learn more about these people ask me why
>> I think they would be excellent choices?
>>
>> We can use this email to chat or start a google chat....

>> Happy Fall
