When I was on the soccer board, we had a lot of
trouble financing because so many people were going
in so many directions. Many corporations won't
even talk to you. One man I talked receives
fifteen calls a day somedays for donations. There
is only so much money out there for fundraising.
I will reiterate that the overall confidence level
of the PRAB is going to be damaged if PRAB members
are soliciting on a large scale level for a
facility that is not on our top priority list.
This damages our credibility and our future
fundraising activities.
I do not feel it is damaging. This is at the top
of the Soccer Association's priorities.
We came up with a list of priorities from all
sports at the special sports needs meeting.
I feel we should make a decision as to what type of
fundraising we want to pursue. If this decision
does not meet everyone's views, then maybe they
should pursue fundraising apart from being a PRAB
member. It is important for each member to remain
impartial to one sport or another. I do not want
to lose credability with corporations and private
donors who may be our only hope for parks and
recreation.
When I was getting donations for the backstops at
Walker Park, I received positive feedback from the
community. Sonic said they were so happy with the
publicity they received, we could expect another
donation from them. I do not favor any sport. I
work on donations from different sports.
:I would like to see the adoption of an adhoc
committee. Has anyone contacted City Adminstration?
I have talked to Ben Mayes and Mayor Hanna.
We need the representation of City Administration
and the City Council.
MOTION:KIMBROUGH/SAVAGE
The PRAB recommends to adopt an ad hoc committee to
review funding sources for the Fayetteville Parks and
Recreation Department.
