Hi Sarah, I have some auction items for AHE. I will email you direct so we may connect.

Before comments are closed and a motion is voted upon, since Amanda has indicated she is willing to answer questions, can she answer the question several Krewe members have asked who is the source of the $8,500 loan?

Allen, In your background check were you able to obtain if her $8,500 loan is from an institution or private party? If the loan is informal from a private party, that is information the Krewe should know. Also, the question about if she is receiving any child support has not been addressed. Thanks, Tony

I have read the outline and comments concerning helping Ms. Davidson She is clearly in a very bad financial situation. That being said my opinion is our Krewe should stay true to our Governing Documents. (1) Exceptions are “discouraged” (2) In 2020 the Krewe refined our Documents to defining “local” as the counties of Saint Johns, Flagler and Duval…eliminating Volusia. There was a great deal of thought as to why we should do that much of it concerning our local sponsors. For these two reasons, I believe this candidate does not qualify. Our Governing Documents state “we must be able to change the outcome” otherwise our funds are essentially wasted. I am not convinced our assistance will accomplish this. Getting her into a rental and hooking up electricity appears to be only the tip of the iceberg. There are still several thousand dollars of debt she will continue to carry. To be clear, I am not unsympathetic to this situation. I am only speaking to how it fits the Krewe’s charitable mission.

I hit up the owner of The Anchor in Flagler Beach last night and he committed to a gift card for our event. I have the form and will collect and get to you. I do not see other posts here... ? Is this where we communicate to you who we are “hitting up”?

Should the ballot be withdrawn until questions presented have been answered and you have adequate time for your research? Is there a time constraint here we are not aware of? Thanks

Roger, I see the ballot out to vote on D&O insurance. 3 days ago when you posted this, you said to post any questions. There were questions, with no answers. This is a roundtable discussion, shouldn’t questions be answered before a ballot is presented? Thanks

I support this proposal. I believe D&O Insurance is a cost of doing business. $500.000 is not a lot of coverage in today’s world. How much more would it be to move it up to $1 million coverage?

I too want to formally thank Tom,Teri, Committee members and all who have helped out for a outstanding job well done. This was a awesome event and a tremendous success for the Krewe. Bravo

Allen I support your recommendation and applaud all your time and efforts in pursuing this scholarship proposal

Hey Allen I just check my email and got NO notification... Leigh said to check out the forum.. there is new posts. Thanks for testing the system

Welcome aboard Mates 🏴‍☠️

I support Allens recommendation and ready to vote ASAP Nice work all....

Tom Thanks for all this information... we are still traveling but when we return we will seek out table sponsors and auction items for the even.

If all this checks out to be accurate. Then yes this family meets our criteria...and I would support a motion to provide the needed assistance.

My notifications of posts are still not working…they are sporadic so many other members may unaware of this post. A few of my thoughts…. Roger, you asked “how many new members have you introduced to the Krewe?” Leigh and I introduced The Sackmasters and Alaska Jill all three highly involved Core Krewe members I still feel any recruitment initiative for new Krewe members should be selective by asking what a new Potential will bring to the Krewe. Allan, to that point, I think that increasing Benefactor dues to $500 is worth putting to a motion so this matter can be thoroughly discussed. Debbie, I don’t think age is the reason for our declining numbers and I am not sure targeting recruitment towards college-age individuals would be productive. Our By-Laws have an age restriction that excludes 3/4 of most college students. I do agree we need membership with enthusiasm.

Congrats and HUZZAH !!

Very nice 👍

Tammy, this is developing into an awesome fundraising event! Huzzah for the $5,000 corporate sponsor! Leigh and I will commit to selling tickets and securing auction items. Good work to you and your committee.

Aye!
