ACM Planning Committee Minutes Mar 16, 2025

Note Taker: Ben

Date/time: 16 Mar 2025 7-8pm

Location: Lynda’s house

Attendees: Kerry, Lynda, Ben, Kellie, Cheryl

The discussion went on a lot of tangents.

Kellie talked to landscaping, maintenance, fundraising, and CH committees about a plan for next Sunday’s ACM.

Future ACM topic suggestions:

Reserves - why we have it, how much we really need, what it’s for
Community care team - Neighbor care, not healthcare. Creating a more formal care team, boundaries.

Brainstorming: (desired outcome: find volunteers who can help with upcoming projects)

- Is there anything you’re comfortable or knowledgeable about that you’d feel comfortable sharing or training someone else on?
