Discussion was held regarding teachers who conduct
special projects to aid children, such as furnishing costumes at
Halloween for children whose parents cannot afford them and other
projects and whether or not Shining Light could award funds for such
projects. It was decided to table this discussion as we are not
sure such projects comply with our By-Laws.
