Agenda

Old Business

Help needed to:

Expand benefits to the community and status of new opportunities for the group to engage more people. Our list of recommended service people and medical professionals is unique and underutilized. Let’s focus on updating/adding to these lists in 2025, raising awareness they exist, and getting/publicizing feedback.

It’s been 1 – 1.5 years since we put these lists together. We need to review them for accuracy and update the information before they can be published and promoted on our website.

Continue the discussion of Time Banking. Kathy Driver to get more information on software requirements.

Note on Assistive Devices closet: We will not pursue this, but the public should know that the First Presbyterian Church maintains such a closet at 1604 Arendell St, Morehead City, NC 28557, 252-247-2202. Equipment lending is open to all. Call for hours. They do not deliver.

New Business

• Publication of the list of nonprofit agencies in Carteret County will appear in May’s Shoreline and will reside on our website. They represent volunteer opportunities.
• Upcoming forum: The topic to be presented is Caregiving. Have we locked in a date, time?
• Promoting our website – PKS has established a link to us.
• Need to review/update list entries currently on the website.
• Who will help?
• Council members assisted the Easter Bunny in filling eggs with candy for the Easter Egg roll at Garner Park this year.
• Our survey…call for ideas/questions.
• Volunteer appreciation: Let Missy Shine know by April 18 if you will attend.
