Castaway Kids Meeting
April 14, 2008
The meeting was held at the Kalmbach’s home with the following members present:
Mark Mulligan, Susan Schauf, Jim Bomberg, Pam Brame, Dave Kielholtz, Rob
Vanderford, Lauriann Atlee, Jackie Van de Bovenkamp, Pete Spencer, Sam
Dougherty, Erindira Morales, and Larry & Maris Kalmbach.
Susan Schauf, called the meeting to order at 10:07a.m.
Old Business: A date has been set for the Castaway Kids Fatima park dedication to
be held on Sunday, May 4th at 10:30 am. Chuck Kaufman $ Pam Brame will do the
photography. Mark Mulligan will convey to the pastor at the local church time and
place. Thanks go to Pete Spencer who will get 150 drinks and bags of munchies to
hand out to the kids present. Invitations will go to the three ladies in Fatima who
generously helped the volunteers during the park renovations. A lovely lady who just
happens to be Marks mother-in-law living in the neighborhood made meals for the
volunteers. Two other ladies living across from the park allowed the men to use their
electricity for cutting and welding machines. Big Thanks to the Art League (Liga de
Arte)for their many hours of painting the concrete and giving the park the final touches
before the dedication.
Dave Kielholtz reported the final sum of $1155 was spent on the park. He also gave
estimates for a fence and Ramada (cover), which at this time are cost prohibitive and
will be tabled. Mark Mulligan will leave paint with a young man by the name of Arthur
Guadalupe. He helped with the painting of the park and wants to continue painting
when the graffiti gets out of hand.
Once again gracious thanks to Erindira Morales and Lupita Valenzuela for their
expertise and donated time to attain the Mexican non-profit corporation status. We
have been given our RFC which in Mexico is similar to the tax ID we get in the US.
Mexican law requires a board member who sits on a Mexican non-profit corporation
have particular enhancements re: they’re working FM3’s. The members of the
Castaway Kids voted to have the expense of $180.00 per board member paid by the
club. Erindira will take care of the FM3 enhancements for each board member.
Mark Mulligan informed the group that he has followed the many steps required to be
able to see the City officials of Guaymas. He hopes to be able to speak with the
Mayor of Guaymas before the end of April. At such time he will present the desires of
the Castaway Kids regarding acquiring land in Fatima for our next project the
Community Center.
New Business: Now with the proper status regarding the Mexican non-profit
corporation the club must set up our bank account in Mexico. Treasurer, Pete
Spencer and Mark Mulligan will go to the local Banamex bank to establish our
account. It has been determined by the club we will have three persons on the
account due to availability. Pam Brame, Mark Mulligan and Pete Spencer will be on
the account. The account is set up with no more than a thousand dollar withdrawal
unless there are two signatures. Pam Brame and Susan Schauf are the web masters
for Castaway Kids and have put an inordinate amount of time regarding updating the
website. We now have a new website address. Castawaykidsmx.org. Thank you
ladies….
The memorial page on the website has recently received numerous donations.
Maggy Murray requested donations be sent to the Castaway Kids in memory of her
late husband Bill Murray. Friends and family of Flint English also have made
generous donations. The Castaway Kids graciously thank all those who have made
gifts of money on the behalf of they’re loved ones.
Christmas Party Committees: Pete Spencer will check on the place to hold the 2008
party and once again will donate the expense of the buses. The dates will be
unofficially Dec.7 or Dec. 14th. Once again Doug & Carla Marshall will donate the
food. Loriann Atlee will be the Christmas gift chairperson and the ages will be 0-12.
The club will continue to give school supplies. If anyone wants to help Lauriann
please send her an e-mail. Lauriann Atlee’s e-mail is the following:
alohaatlee@yahoo.com
Becky Lupo and Donna Malcolm are also volunteers for the Christmas party. This is
our last meeting until fall. It is our goal this next year we have more items brought
down for the party by all the volunteers and friends of the Castaway Kids versus trying
to get a car load here at the last minute. If anyone has questions about the Christmas
party please send me an e-mail. Ljaybach2@aol.com
Have a great summer and for those who are leaving be safe and hurry back next
season.
Respectfully,
Maris M Kalmbach
