Coreen apologizes for not getting a report in this month. Pressure from the new shop has been taking the majority of her time. This is a time sensitive issue.
Steve: what do you need to get done.
Coreen: finish painting by friday, pull up the carpet and scrape the glue this weekend. Nigerian association is not in a rush to kick us out. But would like to keep Jan 1st deadline to stay on track with the budget.
Leila thanks Coreen and asks about budget.
Coreen: depends on priorities. # from Chris is about $26,000

* Discussion notes: to follow
* Discussion notes: History of Bikeology. Previous involvement from Rainbowbridge communications, MEC, and EBC. Michael K suggested creation of new organization to solidify ongoing festivals. ABA pays $10,000, EBC pays $5,000.00. Request for more funding to balance funders, or volunteers to support. VELO looking at various other sources of funding, but of course this takes time.
**
Annual report from previous events has been given to Neil.
If funding and volunteer hours stays the way that it currently is, the structure of VELOfest would change to accommodate current resources.
Chris: advocacy is looking at "bike a friend to work day". Potentially more funding from corporate challenges, ALberta health, etc.
Karly: New projects are always fun. Provisionally it's a yes.
Caylie: what is 'more'
Karly: ONe year would be nice if additional $5000, or mechanics at all events, it's negotiable. there are a number of resources. there is a tie between both organizations.
Caylie: specialized labour
Coreen: this past year, events ran a bit differently than in the past. How did sponsorship with restaurants work out? COuld EBC sponsor an event?
Karly: as example: Approximately $300 / breakfast, Not necessarily a 'sponsorship'. Business sees no return on 'sponsorship'.
Steve: the amount of money that EBC has been donating has not changed in the past at all.
Karly.
