MINUTES OF THE CORSICA AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (CAF)

April 10, 2003

 

A meeting of the Corsica Area Community Foundation was held at Cheryl’s Place on Thursday, April 10, 2003.

 

Those present were Dick Bordewyk, Gary Van Roekel, Mark Spitzenberger and Roger Bordewyk.

 

Minutes were approved as read by Dick Bordewyk, seconded by Gary Van Roekel.

 

Gary Van Roekel reported on phone discussion with Dwight Beukelman.  Dwight sounded very excited about the idea and will call 3-4 other people in Sioux Falls area.  They will make contacts to set time that we can meet with them in Sioux Falls to inform them on CAF and start challenges.  They will try and involve an attorney from Sioux Falls that started the foundation in Wessington Springs.

 

Discussed how we want to approach Sioux Falls people.  Decided it would be best to approach local people first so we can show that we have started.

 

Manley Peterson said that with his workload with Corsica and Platte. Being a member of the board was too much.   The board decided that some one from the bank to replace Manley would be a good idea so to keep them up to date.  Denise Vander Pol was suggested.

 

Mark and Dick are going to put together an information statement as to our purposes and projected plans, to show to prospective donors.

 

The date set to start challenges is 4-24-03.  We need names to contact.

 

The next meeting is Thursday, April 17 at 7:00 AM at Cheryl’s Place.
