Members present were Marina Beckhard, Ann Bushmiller, Holly Fechner, Hazel Groman, Terri McField, Vicki McEneney, Maria Perugini, Consuela Pinto, Mary Kate Whalen (via telephone) and Jocelyn Fisher. Also present was Kim Knight (WBA Executive Director). Jocelyn Fisher acted as Recording Secretary. I. WBA Report WBA Executive Director Kim Knight provided the report. The Corporate Counsel reception is scheduled for November 17, 2001 and the WBAF members are encouraged to attend. Additionally, the WBA has located potential office space at 1717 K Street on the 50 Floor. The office has 600 square feet. The rent will be lower than the current rent at the Bowen Building. A five-year lease is currently being reviewed. II. Fundraising Committee Report Amy Yendall of Avatar Galleries gave a presentation of her company to the board. Avatar Galleries, formerly Heisman Fine Arts, has been in business since 1967 and has worked with various organizations throughout the years. Avatar profiles each group to ascertain what art would be of interest to that particular group. Ms. Yendall stressed that the art auction would be profitable for the WBAF because one hundred percent of both the revenue from ticket sales and advertising sales goes to the foundation. Of the auction sales, the proceeds to the Foundation are based on the following scale: (i) 10% of $7,499 and below; (ii) 20% between $7,500 and $11,999; and (iii) 25% of $12,000 and above. Regarding the artwork, all paintings are original and are delivered matted and framed. The gallery has artists whom create works exclusively for the gallery. Benefits to using Avatar include training for the day of the event and a five-year exchange policy for artwork. WBAF would need the whole board to coordinate the event and between 18 to 20 volunteers to assist on the day of the event. The goal attendance for the event is between 100 and 150. The average ticket price is between $10 and $15 and final settlement of the WBAF profit occurs at the end of the event. Following Ms. Yendall's presentation, board members decided that further research was needed and such additional information would be provided by the Fundraising Committee either prior to or at the next board meeting.
