Committee Meeting –
Vancouver

Present:
Sharon, Evan, Jaime, Deborah, Helen, Bridgett
1)
Fund raiser IS A GO
Update has
been sent to members.
Looking for
helpers for clean up and other duties (especially males). Michelle
is in charge. Graham will be the MC.
Mary Jane
has sent payment for hall rental. We
will have to phone closer to time to get hall keys before function.
Band
is lined up. Evan
to talk to John re PA system.
Sharon has
designed the tickets, will print 1000 and ready for sale next
week Jaime
is working on the poster to be finished by April 4.
We need a
coordinator for salads, rolls, desserts, chai. It was decided
to make a coleslaw (Sharon?). We
need a list from Didi about the items to be provided by the Tibetan
ladies. Sharon
will go to Costco to buy salads, beverages (150 total). Helen
will do the dressing for the salad.
Mary Jane
to bring a phone list for us to call people and remind them about
the function (E mails may get enough response).
New idea
to have a key box price to sell keys; may be a good idea if the
price is attractive enough (Buddha statue, Rinpoche's mala etc.
Cost to set up at $15.00 to 20.00).
We decided
to give 2 tickets to Anila for the function.
Mary Jane
will get the silent auction form. Helen
will look after Moscow's items for sale.
We need volunteers
for a sale table (perhaps people from Thursday class). Split of
profits to be 50/50 Jamseng, Zuru.
Was decided
to use the figure of $5.00 per person to give to Tibetan ladies
for their work.
Silent auction
raffle revenue will be shared with Zuru. Other sale tables profits
will belong each organization.
There will
be a membership table and donation box.
2)
Rinpoche mail re: Didi
E mail from
Rinpoche -- will talk to us about Didi and Zadoh this year (i.e.
how is Didi going to take money to Zadoh, and tax implications).
Money should go to the right place/people. There
was kickathon organized by a karate club and they collected $7000.00
for Didi. Sharon to advise about legalities.
3) Cynthia's information
The letter
from Cynthia's projects was read during the meeting. She
wants to meet with us in November to discuss her projects.
4)
Rokpa
ROPA they want to send 47(?) people to take Tibetan Medicine training
(Xining?). Needs support for their tax receipt. Cost per year
per student will about 3000 US dollars. We have to talk to Rinpoche
about sponsorship money for students for the clinic.
5) Tibet trip
Date
for trip is now August instead of July. The doctors and other
people going should be informed of this date change.
6) Medicine needs
Candice
would be willing to take a fact finding sheet. Helen has written
letters to her. Helen read a summary of conditions in medicine,
fuel required to sterilize, water needs, medical/health, education
components etc. We must educate ourselves to see how we can really
help best. How do we spend money? Sample drugs consequences? Drugs
required, usage, distribution if any? Communication about Zadoh
projects is not always too clear to us. We should make an agenda
for next meeting with Rinpoche (Helen's letter also).
7)
Next meeting
April
24th @ Deborah's 7.30 pm, 2376 Maple at 8th.
