Minutes for USAFA Gold Class Spirit Association

Call to Order

A regular meeting of USAFA Gold Class Spirit Association was held on December 15, 2019 via conference call.  It began at 7:00 pm EST/4:00 pm PST and was presided over by Teri Williams, Co-President.

With minimal participation, including the Secretary due to illness, the following is Teri’s summation of the meeting, followed by Alice’s update on the Coin manufacturing.

Teri:

I think with all of the holiday hubbub, we had minimal participation in today’s conference.  Here’s a summary…

As of now, we have 122 families that have donated to our Spirit Committee.

Total Collections:  $28,661.86

Bank Balance: $20,257.83

Teri has created a spreadsheet of check donors and has cross-verified with Dan Cabo.

ACTION: Teri and jean need the information from Communication committee so we can login and see the donation report.  Please email this information to [email protected].

Dan has checked the requirements for contributions, and it is the responsibility of the donor to ask for a letter if they would like a receipt.  Otherwise, a cancelled check will suffice for tax purposes.  So far, only one donor has asked for a letter and Teri will send Dan the information and he will send the letter.

Mailing address for coins:

Teri Williams

7443 Leawood St

Papillion, NE 68046

Rationale:  Instead of leaving in Marie’s office until March, send to Teri.  She travels to Colorado Springs twice monthly and will transport to the Springs.

ACTION: Volunteer and Communications committee, solicit volunteers in the Springs area to help package.  Point of discussion for next meeting.

Alice:

Once the last 3D revision comes back, I will send it to Teri and Jean as discussed for their OK and the coins can be minted.  We will have them in hand within 10-14 days after the final version is ok’d — so in January at the latest with the holidays. 

A reminder that the coins will come to us in individual plastic sleeves.  I believe we discussed printing a card with an envelope to use to present them.  I will have a few options regarding for the card design and the costs to discuss for the next meeting
