· Donations
o Mr. Reid will check if there is a reoccurring option in PayPal, but in the meantime there is another program that is used that can use reoccurring option. These are both linked in the FBA website
o Need to come up with a speech to request reoccurring donations for FBA that includes our elevator speech (which everyone need to become familiar with)
o One Two Tree is willing to donate on an annual basis and become a sponsor – Ana will talk to owner in regards to this
o Next move is to create a profile about Mr. Reid in our website so people can meet the man with the vision. This helps with donations as it makes it more personable and puts a face to the name
