      1. Discussion on ideas and direction: 
         1. Start fundraising campaign to raise $189,000 in addition to usual giving- online portal
         2. Purchase 2 dip jars, to set up in businesses
         3. Use reserves of funding to keep us afloat for the next 6 months (without dipping into foundation funds or Yochem funds) 
         4. Cut Marylee’s job to ½ time, and she takes on more of a mentor role to a leadership team of 3 staff who are already dividing Kelly’s duties, and are happy to take on different pieces of Marylee’s duties.
         5. Expand Clearwater Counseling by adding a third counselor to our office.
         6. Other future fundraising ideas: rolling dinner parties hosted by community members; target tourists staying in hotels; “sponsor a youth” by calculating cost for one night stay. 
         7. Possibly in the future if all else fails, we might pull funds from ACF to keep our doors open for a temporary period of time. 
   2. Dave’s income for the year was significantly more than prior years from January 1, 2019 through May 30, 2019: $19,000 over his salary for the first 5 months. FYA will calculate Dave’s income in excess of his salary for every 6-month period, and pay Dave 50% of those earnings (MSP Sarah; Patrick)
