The Nominating Committee met with two possible candidates for membership to the Board: Jim Beam and Marijane Barbone. Both candidates were recommended by several Board members and the Committee would like to present them for voting at the April meeting. The Committee has two more candidates that have recently been recommended and we will promptly meet with them as well. Each candidate completes a profile that I will send to the Board members in advance of the April meeting for review (they will be sent as an attachment to an email from me). If anyone has additional names for consideration, please give them to me by March 8, no further nominations will be accepted after that date. As requested at the February Board meeting, each Board member must contact me with their intent to extend or shorten their term. I need this information in advance of the April meeting. Please contact me no later than March 15.

 * IV. – Committee Reports**
 * 1) Alumni - Mark Constable & Karen Pflug-Felder Have been in touch with Carol Rossi about the Class of 1964 reps at graduation. She is in the process of choosing them...Awaiting additional info on MSD Alumni Employees
 * 2) Communication/Publicity – Janice Herman - I have begun meeting with members of the publicity committee to re-work our original EFMC pamphlet. This will include the new logo, as well as our events, etc. I plan to have something for the board to see in April. One thought was that we may want to use the new pamphlet and send it to the community in June (or later) with a mailing about the Foundation. It was also suggested after the last pamphlet was printed that we have a different "motto" (Some people did not care for Sharing the possibilities). If you have any thoughts on this subject - please e-mail me your suggestions at any time over the next several weeks. All suggestions would be appreciated - I much prefer to hear from someone BEFORE the pamphlet is designed/printed rather than after....JGH

 * 4) No report at this time-JM

 * 7) The committe reviewed the Post Prom proposal and did not support this proposal due our criteria. JM
 * V. – Events**
 * 1) Art, Corks and Forks – Cindy Boegly: The Arts, Corks & Forks event, originally scheduled for May 5, 2013, has been postponed to April 5 or 6, 2014. The Committee met and decided to postpone so we would have more time to plan a quality event. The Committee will begin meeting to plan the event on March 20 at 6:30 in the regular Board meeting location and again on April 17 at the same time and place.
 * 2) 5k Event Update – Janeen Marzewski
 * 3) We will meet in April to begin planning
 * 4) Holiday House Tour – Carole Staats: The committee is selecting homes for the 2013 tour and will determine if a Sunday event or a Friday event will be held. The final date for the Holiday House Tour will be determined soon.
 * 5) Other:


 * VI. – Capital Campaign Update** - Jim Van Horn: The Capital Campaign remains on hold until the School Board is in a position to approve the scope and plans for the Field Improvement Project. The Field Lights are still in the process of consideration for approval by the Worcester Township Supervisors. In April there should be a vote by the Supervisors to approve the most recent proposal on the Lights and then the process would move to a formal "Conditional Use Hearing" for the general public. The School Board is waitng to hear the outcome of this process.

When there is a clear plan approval by the School Board, the Capital Campaign will be ready to move foward.
