This was the first credit card statement we received for our initial shopping of $7,120.28. The Executive Director for !Si, Se Puede! helped us to pick up a few last minute items which we reimbursed her for at $639.83.Part IV List of Officers, Director's (b) Average hours per week devoted to position. Generally, our time is really spent in November when we let our friends and family know of our Holiday Mission and then we spend up to 2 hrs per day shopping and coordinating the donations up until the wrapping party and delivery of gifts in December. Dan, Mario and Ken [Board] meet once or twice a year to discuss a few areas around ways to grow our efforts. This year was super different as we held our first-ever in-person Fundraising Event in October. We had no idea the amount of time and energy this would involve. Dan spent 2-4 hours per day from June up until the event in October. Mario spent 2-5 hours per week helping with shopping and planning. Ken was available as needed.”
