URGENT--- BOYS & GIRLS CLUB – 6/13/22 MEETING-- Yosemite Drive - 6PM
In preparation for our meeting tomorrow night (6/13/22) we sent the new CEO Mandy Lipp an email on 5/25/22 with specific questions and agenda items:
1) We want to see CURRENT B&G Club Pacifica financials - Please bring a copy of them for us, and also post on the Pacifica club website. We require a clearer picture regarding the club’s financial health.
2) Can you bring your contract fundraiser to the June 13th meeting to discuss the Board’s fundraising plan?
3) Why is there now a "free and reduced lunch" question on enrollment application, when we are signing our children up for B & G programs? This question was never asked before. Will responses to this question be a new condition on program enrollment?
4) Will the Bingo game be brought back?
5) What is the current board membership with new recruits?
We did not receive a response from our email on 5/25, and we do not yet have an agenda from the Boys & Girls club.
I did speak to Mandy briefly on the phone last week, and she indicated that we would most likely not have Pacifica financials, nor would they bring their grant writer to this meeting.
It remains unclear why obtaining Pacifica financials is taking so much time.
We know for a fact that the club has to have financials finished for their end of fiscal year report to the IRS July 1. We suspect the financials are done right now, will clearly show the deficit, and the B & G Club doesn’t want us to see the facts.
We hope to get some clarification regarding who, in fact, will be responsible for fundraising for the Pacifica clubs, and how much funding is required to keep the club running.
Since we haven’t received answers on why the Pacifica clubs were cut loose in the first place, we hope to get B & G club authorities to unwind this merger, and put Pacifica clubs back under the Peninsula umbrella.
Please attend Monday night at 6PM and be prepared to ask questions. We expect B & G club to have answers. I, personally, am losing confidence in this club’s leadership, and constant efforts to keep parents in the dark.
In Solidarity,
Erin Pickett
