FruCon 10/17 Meeting Minutes

ITEMS OF DISCUSSION

NOTES

• Gordon hasn't signed up for any tasks. Mentioned interest in food, Pub Crawl, Brunch, sponsorship committee
• Katherine thinks she may have spread herself thin - probably leaving the prereg group

WALKING TOUR

• A few of the respondents to the webpage are interested in doing the walking tour.
• Gordon looking into possibly renting a bus to actually do the tour this year, or work out a way to walk it. If it can be done in 30-40 minutes, do during Con.

SPONSORS

• Suggested that Frucon run a food or clothing drive both as a way to help people out and to attract sponsors who would be more willing to help out a "worthy cause". Decided that a food drive for the Daily Bread Food Back would take place - donation of food or money = 1 free raffle ticket.
• This year free raffle tickets *not* given out at the door

True North
Steve's Music
Curry's - local art supply store in Toronto
