Foundation Business:

Treasurers Report: Paula Cunningham gave the treasurers report stating that the accounts are pretty
much the same as last month. The Foundation has roughly $4000.00 in their General Foundation Funds.
Approval of Funds for Insurance: It was decided to keep the insurance policy the same as last year.
HaveA-Heart Phone-a-thon: Colleen Kleege reported that even though we were unable to contact many
families, had limited volunteers and had to cancel the second day of outreach, it is definitely a drive worth
having again, it was suggested to maybe do it at the beginning of the school year and have students help
with the calls.
Scholarships to Seniors: Colleen Kleege suggested we sponsor one or two of the scholarships offered
through the PTSA efforts to solicit applicants. Fletch wanted to assure that the CHS Foundation receive
credit for its donation. Nevin Kleege suggested that we allocate money, but wait until next year to offer the
scholarship due to lack of foundation volunteers to develop criteria, and then solicit and evaluate
applicants. Patty Moreau and Colleen Kleege will contact Heidi Fulton ( PTSA) and discuss the
logistics of the Foundation sponsoring scholarships. (Foundation Scholarships would be available to all
CHS seniors)
AOB Intern to design Website/Marketing Plan: Colleen Kleege will be interviewing AOB interns on
2/26. We are looking to hire students to help create CHS Foundation Website, Letterhead, Alumni database
and Connections with ASB to promote Foundation Events. She will create a detailed job description to
share during the interview process on Thursday.

Star Party 4/24: Lynne Bonnenberger shared that CHS will be hosting a Star Party sponsored by the
Kiwanis and Clairemont Mesa Education Foundation with participation from the UCSD Astrophysics

Association, CHS Martha Corrales and Kevin Regardie. It will be an evening full of engaging interactive
activities designed to offer a fun way for students and adults to learn about science and astronomy. The
CHS Foundation was asked to provide food and beverages as a fundraiser. There was a general consensus
that we could do this Nevin and Colleen Kleege will put together a proposal.

Public Comment:

Gary Jenkins spoke on behalf of the Clairemont Robotics program and informed us that the Robot is built
and functioning. Their competition will be in April.
After discussion about the necessity to outreach to our alumni when soliciting support, Fletch agreed to
