Old Business

Carolyn, Cynthia, Michelle, and Hayley attended the Counselors and Principals to promote the Shining Light Foundation.  We were well received and some of the counselors gave testimonials.   The grant for the Pugh Foundation was completed.  Our profile on the DonorSense website has been updated. 

 

New Business

We received a notice from the Junior League of Lafayette.  Their grant request deadline is October 5th.  Some of the board members will meet on 9/13 to prepare the grant.  Michelle suggested we contact Danny Jones for the Chitimacha Golf Open.  They donate monies to children’s charities provided they have some volunteers to work the Golf Tournament.  Carolyn will find out the details.
