Vision/Mission Statements
We decided on our vision statement and mission statement:

Vision Statement
We envision Garfield High School, an outstanding learning environment historically rich in cultural diversity and academic excellence, achieving the best results for every single student.

Mission Statement
To gather the hearty support of all of its constituencies and provide Garfield High School with sustainable funding and resources that will assure and advance student achievement and school programs.

Steering Committee
We will need to designate president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and four intitial board members when we file for 50l(c)(3) status. We decided to file for this non-profit status even if we join with the Alliance. We understand it takes four to six months to secure 50l(c)(3) status. Our goal is to file for 50l(c)(3) status by May lst. We will discuss our by-laws at the next meeting; propoed by-laws are attached to the minutes. Please review them before the March 25th meeting.

Alliance for Education
The Alliance will be invited to attend our next meeting, scheduled for March 25th. We will discuss the issues of branding (AE vs GHS on promo material), AE solicitation of our donors, AE's ability to track our money and even segment it into separate accounts, details of the proposed relationship including management of the portfolio, information sharing, reporting, etc. As Roosevelt HS is also considering an alliance with AE, they will be invited to attend this meeting as well. Ben and Lorna will invite AE and Roosevelt reps to attend the first portion of the meeting, beginning at 6:00.

Alumni identification
Ben has agreed to update the website so that we can send alumni names to that site. Ben will continue to work on database managment. Janet will go after alumni lists and contact persons and begin securing additional names. This alumni identification committee consists of Janet and Joan. They will ask Joyce, Regina and Pat Dunston(sp?) to join the committee.

Fall event
Judith has contacted Benaroya and she outlined the various options there. She has also contacted Clarence Acox and he will help with the music portion of the program. He wants six months lead-time so we need to decide on the date soon. Judith, Lynn and Mary Lou will visit Benaroya and decide on which space makes sense for which date. They will report back by the March 25th meeting.
