Idea: Sponsors automatic information gathering
- Vicky explains, that if a sponsor donates, the date of donation is changed, and during 365 days the sponsor's logo is automatically shown on the website. So, that information on the website could be used for contacting the sponsor for sponsorship renewal. As an initial stage Vicky proposes to send a mail to board & treasure with the monthly report of who needs to be reminded for new sponsorship
- Vicky to create an action item.
