Old Business

– Eric made a motion to get a quote to finish 503C, incorporation form and 990EZ at the state and federal levels.  Seconded: Rosie

Opposed:  No one

 

 

New Business –  *Will talked about a website called kickstarter.com where people can donate money to your cause in order to get prizes

*Rosie suggested a fundraiser at her house (BBQ) where we could collect donations for admission.  It was thought that until we have a park to support, people won’t come.  We need people to be using the park and feel obligated to donate

*There was talk of looking into Fireflys, Redbones or another food truck for an event (probably not until next summer).

*There was discussion of a 10X10 space at the fourth of July event  but nothing final was decided.

*It was decided that we will serve Brats at Howl’een

* Beth and Bill talked of a recent trip to Provincetown, MA and how it was so nice to be in a pet friendly city.  There was some talk of created a Chelmsford Pet Friendly Campaign.  We talked of asking local businesses to donate a % of their profits on a certain night to the CDA.  Maybe ask Center Sports Grille to have a “Dogs on the Deck” night with water bowls and giveaways etc.  We could sell advertising space on the website to local businesses.  Ask local businesses and the CDA to donate to pet waste stations and put them throughout Chelmsford.
