1.     MEETING MINUTES:

            The minutes of the January 7, 2003 meeting was not yet prepared..

2.     COMMITTEE REPORTS:

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE:

            Comments about the fundraiser from attendees were positive.  They enjoyed being back on the campus, and the entertainment.  People are enthusiastic about the Foundation and look forward to the next fundraiser.  We were able to raise approximately $13,100 within about a month’s time.  We need to start the planning early, and think about having it as an annual event, which may be used by classes as a mini reunion.

3.     NEW BUSINESS

A.        Publicity/Public Awareness Committee:  A new committee called the Publicity/Public Awareness Committee was created.  Jean Motoyama will lead the committee, and will work with volunteers David Omoto, Sharon Uyeno and Jan Yamamoto Heiser.  The Committee met for the first time, and offered the following ideas:

            David will look into setting up a website for the KHS Foundation

            Jean will work writing, but needs input on content (the Foundation must be careful not to use

Jean’s name because of her high profile in the community)

            Committee needs graphic people to assist

            Create a link from the Kaimuki High School website to the Foundation’s website

            Get students involved in graphics - have a competition, which will promote familiarity with the

Foundation and its goals

            Explore possibility of getting business community more involved in supporting the Foundation

            B.         Next Project:  Discussion was held regarding the Foundation’s next funding project.  The following suggestions were made:

1.     Gym and bathrooms - it was suggested that these types of projects should be left up to the Department of Accounting and General Services, and not be taken on by the Foundation.

2.     PC Lab -

3.     ID machine - Jeanne Chang informed the Board that KHS is in need of new software for its ID machine.  A special purchase price of $1400 is available until Feb. 28.  Normal price is approximately $2000.  Dennis will know this week whether the School can fund it.  If not, Jeanne asked the Foundation to consider assisting with this purchase.  Much discussion followed, including suggestions as to how the ID machine may be used for future Foundation activities. 

     It was moved and seconded that the Foundation purchase the ID machine software for KHS if

     the school was unable to purchase it on its own.  Motion carried unanimously.

            C.        Luncheon at KHS:  Anne offered the Foundation an opportunity to invite 20 people to lunch at the KHS cafeteria, to be prepared by the culinary arts students.  It was suggested that this lunch could be used to thank donors, and to expose the community to KHS students.  Anne will try to reserve the April 17^th slot for our luncheon.

4.     NEXT MEETING

            The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 25, 2003 at 6:00 p.m.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
