2024 Membership Perks:
*Suggested to not do open voting. Let Board pick the scarf to save time as the year is growing close
*Want to figure out recurring memberships ASAP so we can get memberships open and signed up before EOY. Square can do it, but we probably need a new account that doesn’t have old board members personal names on it. Bryan will sign up for new account tonight/tomorrow? Old Square account that we’ve been using still has a number of problems due to
* Scarf submissions to close on December 2nd.
* Glenn asking about tiered memberships for future years. Maybe a kid’s membership at a $5 price point that gives stickers, more of a gameday seller. Maybe $2 cost for a $5 membership
2023 Outstanding Memberships:
* If anyone wants to take box to Molly’s or something for pickup, can do.
* Let people know they could pick up outstanding stuff at Holiday Party
* Glenn suggestion: follow up on social media to let people know a email went out

* Jess to email Jonathan Litner and Margo regarding spreading the word
* To drop off stuff on Mondnay December 11th @ 2pm. At 15th street warehouse
* Herman to post on FB about drive
Priority needs for 2024:
* Engagement/Build Membership
* Member retention –
** Auto-renew memberships
** Game-specific 1” pins
** Lots of members asked about buttons/pins instead of coins
** Player cards, signed here and there for charity
* Asset Audit
** Need to actually know what all the Coopers have
** Need to make sure board members are in possession of those items
* Continue to work out bank info
** First National – still can’t get $470 out of it because it’s still under Tom Farmer’s name
** Look into opening new Square account as we’ve been fighting to get money out of that all year and it’s under Derek’s name, Square wouldn’t transfer account.
** With Square, no monthly fee for subscription payments.
* Angel’s Share – need to make this more often. Work with Jeffery as he has knowledge and contacts in the non-profit sector.
