Strategy Development:

efforts yesterday with an organizational profile. There was discussion on who our
customer’s are and the senior team agreed that our mission is critical. Another point was
how we build relationships. A handout was passed to the members and discussed. There
will be a strategic planning meeting October 2nd and 3rd. Mary has appointments with the
United Way and Children’s Board to discuss BGC. We will have a focus group among
members with 9 clubs participating. This data will be included in the information given
at the planning session. There will be one focus group with club directors. All data will
be recorded and Mary will report the findings.
Lisa Richardson reported on the grants that we have received. UPS Foundation for $15K,
Conn Foundation at $25K. We have other applications pending. We’ve received $300K
and need to work on a quarter of a million to make our budget. Conn will match the
$25K gift that we will use as our year end appeal. Lisa reported that we have 350
Facebook fans, we receive 1,700 hits a month on Facebook and 1,200 hits a month on our
website. She asked everyone check out the sites along with our Twitter page and urged
everyone with a Facebook account to become a fan of BGC. We plan to show our video
at our United Way presentations. Lisa thanked Lynn and MetLife for all the hard work
being done on the Gary Nix Fishing Tournament.

Anne Carney spoke about the Steak Dinner and that last year we made $114K on the
event and we currently have $90K so we should reach our goal. We plan to showcase our
kids this year. Members were urged to buy tickets now because we expect to sell out.
Presidents Report:
Brad Baumgardner reported that we will be receiving a stimulus package from Boys &
Girls Clubs of America but we don’t know the amount. They received $44 million. We
could still be $50K in the hole at the end of the year. Bill and Brad are working on next
years budget and will be meeting with staff.

by the Florida Alliance. Chris Letsos received an award for our HYPE Program and Joe

budget, the Foundation would loan us up to $150K.
The Strategic Planning session is October 2 & 3. Brad asked for members to attend.
Their input is important.
