Members not present: Fr. Lyle, Andy Neebel, Sue Krukonis,

1) The meeting was called to order at 7:15 pm-Sr. Marilyn offered an opening prayer and reflection.

2) The minutes from the May 29, 2002 meeting were reviewed and approved.

3) Financial Considerations Update-
DRA Grant-The items (laptop computer and projector) purchased with the DRA grant money were discussed.
Parent Association-The Parent Association has provided funding for the necessary software purchased through Kim Hermsen and Holy Family Schools. The Parent Association provided $387.50 for this. Doug will meet with the Parent Association on September 10, 2002 to update them on the website and to request an additional $600 for one year's website maintenance fee. Options for recognizing the Parent Association's donations were discussed.
An additional $3169 is needed for the final payment to Net Smart. The two sources that have been previously discussed for this funding are Alumni Newsletter request and the Education Endowment . John Schwind will investigate how the Alumni Newsletter request has progressed to date. The group also felt that if the Alumni do provide funding that they should be thanked on the website and/or in subsequent newsletters.

4) Website Review-The four sample web-pages currently available were reviewed. Suggestions were made for improvement. Some of the ideas discussed:
Homepage-increasing color intensity of people pictured, "sunglasses" issue.
Inner Page- acceptable
School page- changing some of the photos (violin, chalkboard issue), the links listed on School's pages, how to best include Parent Association info and Scrip info. Sr. Marilyn, Jenni and Kim Hermsen to discuss and decide.
Youth Page- Photos and font color were discussed.

Sr. Marilyn also presented the photo consent form that she developled and some photos taken of parishioners

5) Action Plan- The group felt strongly that significant progress has been made in the development of the website, but that final efforts should now be made to complete it. It was decided that a deadline of August 15 would be set for getting it up and running. Sr. Marilyn will communicate this to NetSmart. The group also discussed options for revising the site in the future.
Doug and Jenni will meet with the Parent Association on September 10, 2002 to formally request additional funding as above. Doug will work on a Power Point presentation for that meeting and send it to Jenni. They will also review the actual website samples with the Parent Association at that time.

6) Next Meeting will be on Wednesday, August 28, 2002 at 7:15 pm in the Computer Classroom of the School.

The meeting adjourned at 8:20 pm.

Respectfully submitted,
D. Olk
