October JW House board meeting

Finance:

We are approaching our goal of 1.5 million with steady pace. I feel that we will reach it by next year.

Events:

We are gearing up for the golf tournament. First meeting is coming
up soon. We are considering other events. We discussed the feasibility of having Nestldown as a event again. The timing of the event posts a problem. It is right after the golf tournament. I feel that we would have spent a lot of energy in getting the golf tournament going. We do not have the men power to make it a fund raising type of event. Would it be possible to use it as a thank you party for the volunteers? It will cost a lot to put this up. Is it financially responsible to do that?

Construction:

The drawing of the lay out of the building is coming along.
The building committee has been meeting a lot. A lot was done. We discussed whether we should have one or two public bath room in addition to the bath rooms we have already for each guest room. I hope that we can squeeze in two bath rooms.

Budget:

We agree on a budget for the first year. The goal is to make sure
JW House can manage the finance so that it can survive. We will present it to our advisory committee for consideration. The advisory committee is a committee we form to share information and cooperation between JW House and Kaiser. We also discussed about future fund raising efforts. Should we have an independent fund raising arm?

Fund Raising:

Belgium golf tournament raised over 6000 dollars for the JW House.
