GKT Meeting #6

At today’s meeting the focus was on fundraising and summer events.
I reiterated myself again telling everyone what Punta Mona was and I wanted the club to go there, and that the trip fundraising was going on. I urged them to start really making an effort so we can make the money for everyone who wants to go. It was suggested that we ask each member to pay for an amount of the trip on their own. This would help the club be not have a terribly big amount to raise.

Laura talked to the group about scheduling a day that Green Keene Teens would be at the Farmer’s Market here in Keene. She suggested that we plan a Saturday in June to do it. Scheduling the specific day will happen in the next week or so.

Brea told us a little bit about Harrisville’s Old Home Days that is scheduled around the second week of July. The event sounds like it would be a great place for GKT to sell products and promote being green! We talked about making things for raffles and maybe doing a kids game or craft.

We also brainstormed fundraising ideas. Many good ideas were thrown up in the air, such as making recycled cards and flowers, the plant-able paper, pine needle bags, potpourri, and the hanging oranges that smell good.
