"I just talked with Ms. PL about the Lunar New Year Mass, she was wondering if we would want to move the Monday Morning Ministry to the Monday before Lunar New year (Feb 5) instead of what we already have (Feb 12), which would be after. They have the Ash Wednesday All School Prayer Service that week (Feb 14), so it would be really close if we left it where it is. Do you think we should move it over to Feb 5?"

• ASC Alumni will be in charge of sales

• Ms. Hernandez’s reply on January 10 about donation

• Deadline to write letter?

• Following up on your desire to donate money to Stop AAPI Hate. I spoke to Dr. McCann and this is what she shared regarding how to go about making a donation:

• 
  

  Thank you for your email. It is great the students want a portion of the proceeds from jackets to make a donation. I always just submit a fundraiser check request and include the organization's mailing address and a brief cover letter. I've attached the one we use. Then, the school just sends the check for us. 

  
  
  I have attached the donation letter template/example that Dr. McCann shared. Please take a look and then work together as a board to craft yours. Once your letter is ready, Ms. Wong or Mr. Orque--can you fill out a check request, I can sign off and put the account number before submitting.
  
  
  - Ashley and Nam will work on the letter after this meeting and finalize with Moderators 
  - Potentially raise the price for ASC jackets for the alumni? ($100)
