OLD BUSINESS
1) HOT LUNCH
** Rob Kennedy did get a corporate sponsor for MPES hot lunch program. This sponsorship will take effect next year. The total sponsorship is $3000 to $5000, this sponsor wishes to remain anonymous. PAC is not even to send a thank you note.
** regarding the hot lunch cart- there are 2 carts available, we will try to make due until the end of the year with those, keeping in mind that if there is still a problem next year, a new cart will be purchased. It was suggested that the 'new' cart be stored in the PAC storage to avoid the problems that are occurring this year.
** the hot lunches have already been organized until the end of the year, but if there is to be one more, PAC wants it to be free for the whole school, as well, the food for the sports day event will be paid for by PAC and free for the whole school.
2) TREASURER
Eric Stephan reports: $2000 was put into short term, for easy access/checking transactions, and the remainder of the PAC monies have been put in an investment savings account. The account makes.75% and can be transferred, without penalty, at any time.
3) SPROCKIDS
Much excitement surrounded this program. Mara Mattson had a meeting with Fred Thorsell to get him up to speed. The subcommittee; Rob Kennedy, Ann Goulette and Mara Mattson, has yet to meet on the subject but are required to present something to the PAC at large at the next PAC meeting in March. The idea is to have an event which will introduce Sprockids to parents, students etc, create interest, and an understanding of what the Sprockids program is all about.
NEW BUSINESS
SEEDY SATURDAY
Again the Seedy Saturday event must be discussed. It has come to our attention that PAC is being hailed as a "sponsor" and the direct recipient of funds raised by this event, as well as, the "edible schoolyard" is still being promoted! Also, it was learned that there is to be an article regarding the above mentioned in the Harbour Speil, the exact wording is not known to PAC at this time. The issue was discussed, and the conclusion was as follows: Legal Action is an option. A mass mail out, to retract any false information/misrepresentation contained in the article in the Harbour Spiel is also a possibility. It was decided that at minimum, some damage control was needed. A notice was drafted by the members of the PAC who were present-see
attached notice, and is to be sent home with every MPES student tomorrow. It was also decided that any business that had been approached, be given the same notice, and be informed.
