Committee Reports

· AIR – As of this week we officially have 13 people registered. Currently we have $950 donated. Donations have been received by IUPUI and Goshen College. The retreat includes four presenters, Christine Wood, Guy Vollmar, Janet Schwall, and Daniel Smith.

· Initially Matt Krueger had bid the contract to provide the food for the retreat. That bid is still somewhat high. Last years food was donated by various organizations, i.e. Marsh, Meijers, and Kroger, etc. Matt had bid dinner at 5.00, breakfast at 4.00, dinner at 5.00. A total food projection is $1,500. At the rate of 100 people attending, this would not allow any revenue to be generated for ICRID. Carrie has already taken the liberty of contacting various establishments for donations to offset the cost of food.

· There are still some issues regarding the use of ISD facilities; Bob will iron those out this week.

· There will a Deaf Olympics fundraiser held on November 12 here at ISD.

· The next committee meeting for the AIR is next Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
