Need to leverage our presence at the banquet to attract more donors to the SCCA Foundation
A motion was made by Bob, seconded by Howard to pay $6,000 for a bronze sponsorship for a table at the banquet. This would give the Foundation 10 seats at that table. The $6,000 payment would be split between the SCCA Foundation and SCCA Inc. Motion passed.
