There is SO MUCH to talk about! I thought I might be easier to make a list & check it twice...oh wait, that's a Christmas song. I will make a list & then expound upon each item in another blog.
- 501(c)3 paperwork is complete & sent in!!!! Becky worked very hard at it & has made a masterpiece (can that be said about a legal form filled out?)! Thank you Becky!
- We have also become part of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks! Wahoo!
- Bylaws have been adopted! Again, Becky was the brains of this legal creation. Thank you! The of the Board of Directors utilized email to discuss, adapt & vote on the bylaws. It was beautiful to see this happen over email throughout a day. Great job to our Board!
- Speaking of our Board, we now have 9 members! This is where we will stop. All nine are excited to see this Legacy become reality. We have elected officers & formed committees.
- Fundraising is kicking off to a great start!
- We have donors who have committed to a matching donation if we get $500 extra dollars raised. This is an easy way to donate & double what you give!
- 1st Trivia Night was a BLAST!!!! It was held Feb 22 at McSalty's. Photos are posted on our facebook page.
- 2nd Trivia Night will be at Garbo's in Springfield
- Oscar Watch Party was a raging success in Washington DC! Thank you to Elise & her friends who had fun watching & donating!
- Of course, the High-5 Fundraising Campaign is underway (notice this is #5 on this list)!
- Have you donated $5?
- Have you asked for $5 from 5 friends?
- This is just a little thing, but exciting nonetheless. We have new tabs at the top of our blog. Did you see them? Please take a moment to check them out. You will see we have some links to really great friends of GSOL. Do you know someone's business (or your own) that could become a friend of GSOL? Let us know!
Ok. That's 5 in our list. I hope it was a quick read & come back for the details.
What is your legacy?
-Alexis
