Treasurer’s report: The Treasurer reported that we have $64 in petty cash and $200.45 in the Bank of Hawaii from fundraising activities.
Old Business & New Business:
1. CHC Psych Unit Patio & Painting: Kaye Christian and Jeanne Rayphand met with John Flores, CHC facility administrator, and made site visit of CHC Psych Unit and TLC. The patio area has been cleared, cleaned and painted. The plan now, which is welcomed by Mr. Flores as well as Secretary of Public Health Joe Villagomez, is to build a structure to provide shade in the patio and to also paint the Psych Unit with warmer colors to make the unit more welcoming and therapeutic.
This project will be a joint project of CAMI-CNMI, NMPASI, and the Mental Health Planning Council. To move forward, ideas for fundraising are needed with the goal to make this a community effort, not simply a request for cash donations.
The target completion date is the end of May, Mental Health Awareness Month. The expected funds needed for the patio structure - and the goal for fundraising - is $1,500.
The idea of a garage sale in the NMPASI parking lot was discussed. NMPASI may join in to raise funds for the benefit of NMPASI at the same time.
MOTION: A motion was made to have a garage sale in the NMPASI parking lot from 7 a.m.- noon on April 26, 2008 (date to be confirmed so as not to conflict with Flametree Festival) with NMPASI invited to join in their own fundraising. The motion was seconded and approved.
Kaye Christian will do a solicitation letter to request donations and participation in garage sale.
Jeanne Rayphand will verify date of Flametree Festival.
Details will be worked on; donations can be delivered to NMPASI in advance and on morning of sale. List of donors and donations will be maintained in order to thank and give credit to those assisting with project.
Spaces will be available to others who want to sell items at sale at a flat rate of $20 per space with sellers to provide their own table.
Adjourned: The meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
Next regular meeting: May 28, 2008, at 6:00 p.m.
Special meeting: A special meeting will be called to finalize details of parking lot sale.
