Bates County People 4 People Coalition
September 17, 2013
The Bates County People 4 People Coalition meeting was held Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. at the Bates County Health Center.
Present: Deborah Kirk, Vicki Kershner, Jody Welston
Following a discussion regarding the lack of response from the high importance email sent out to all individuals who previously attended a coalition meeting as well as an article in the local paper, it was unanimously decided that the Bates County People 4 People Coalition will formally disband due to lack of participation.
Deborah Kirk will ensure that any remaining funds from the $5000.00 mini-grant from ACT-Missouri are returned as Pathways was the entity that held these funds for the coalition. Jennifer Schaller advised Vicki Kershner that there was also $151.00 from a fundraising event that has never been used. According to the by-laws, any holdings are to be donated to a non-profit purpose within the territory of Bates County People 4 People, as agreed upon by a majority of the remaining members. Those present agreed that these funds should go to the Christmas for Kids project which was one of the projects the coalition sponsored in 2012. Vicki Kershner will ensure that these funds are received from Jennifer and held at West Central Community Action Agency and will be used as indicated.
It is with deep regret that this coalition was not supported and was forced to disband.
