About 10 members showed up for the PUSH meeting at the Galimore Center on June 4, 2009.
Members previewed the presentation for the County Board of Commissioners and gave inputs for changes. Mary will make the changes and Terry will post as a movie online.
Suggestions were made for talking points for the 6/16 Board of County Commissioners meeting. More will be sent out to the group list before the meeting. All members are encouraged to attend, sign a speaker’s card and tell the commissioners some of their on the ground experiences working with our homeless citizens.
Jo McIntire, of St Augustine Business Incubator, ran down the requirements for forming a non-profit and noted there is currently about a year lag time in the approval process by the IRS. He suggested working with an established non profit and aligning PUSH’s mission statement with their stated goals. He also noted there may be a fee for this type of extra accounting. He suggested focusing on two or three foundations that work with homelessness and will send some appropriate links for us to look over. Members will pursue this and get back to Jo.
Meeting adjourned approximately 830PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Lawrence
