Angel’s Share
KRM was a success. We delivered 13 boxes.
We will continue to collect tabs and bottle caps for Ronald McDonald House this year.
February-March initiative is St. Baldrick’s, which is headed by Dwayne V. If it gets big, St. Baldricks is interested in having someone there.
If we want to donate to Crusade for Children, May would be the month to collect. Then we could donate in the beginning of June.
Alzheimer’s walk is in October.
Memberships:
9 Memberships. 4 comped. 5 sold.
Matt will set up a table in the Gold lot. We need to work out a rotation at the table in the stadium as the season approaches.
Derek will staff the table at the home opener.
We currently use Square. Zettle is an option that works with PayPal.
If there is a preseason event, we can ask the club if we can do memberships there.
We can use the scarf and coin images to start pushing membership and discord on social media and in email blasts.
March to the Match
We need to revisit stopping points. Fan Zone and Outside our section are solid options, and we can discuss others.
We will consult with the club about pre-scanning or everyone entering the side gate.
Lexington SC
Preseason 2/22 game. Unknown if it’s open to supporters. We can reach out to the club to see if we can have it open to the public or at least semi-open to the supporters.
The bell is procured. Braeden will curate it. He and Jess will make sure it gets painted.
