Treasurer’s and Director’s Report June 25, 2018 Par
Good News First!
We landed Anton Treuer and Dodging Bullets! Thanks to Jill for finding the film and getting the directors on Board. We are seeking funding to support Wesley’s Identity workshop, the 5-7 timeslot and the 7 pm film.
Nonprofits emerging as fertile team support opportunities. We have nonprofits participating on different levels including ACW teaching workshops, their members creating art, performances, job opportunities, writing copy for our media blitz etc. Thursday night will be meeting with MN360 for a training for their July event.
