    Number of donation drives

    Tracy and I remember us agreeing to have 3 drives. Scott's minutes seem to indicate something else. If we agreed to take a poll at the picnic, it slipped right past me. I don't think a poll is a good idea. I think our responsibility is to do what we think is best for NCWW and don't think...

    Donation Barometer BOD Thread

    Now that we have the donation barometer up and running we need a dedicated board member to update it at least daily. Ideally this would be Travis, but I am willing to help. The steps should be simple. After someone makes a donation it has to be manually confirmed through this link. Travis if...
