​CMCFN Affiliate Report 9/23/17
 
The Far North Affiliate will have our annual conference on Saturday, Oct. 14, 2017.
Website cmcfn.com has registration ready to go, and splash page updated. Now we are using our lists of “year leading up to,” Week before,” and “day of” files to keep on track.  This is the transition year from Beth B. as president to Gwen Neu pres-elect.  Gwen will be pres. in 2018. We need to find a Pres-elect for her.  
 
Prep Meeting 9/9/17

• Attending:  Beth, Gloria, Gwen, Cathy, Bill, Ali, Lynn, MaryAnn
• Treasurer’s report: $8000- up from $3000 4 years ago.
• Team #’s and $ are both on the rise.
• Reviewed Meeting agenda
• Massaged presenter matrix

 
**Most items have been copied to agenda** (see pasted below)
 
Things to do:

• Beth to email Alicia and Annika to prep a TK-2 breakout on Critter Legs from Marcy Cook - Will order a booklet for each teacher and give out at the session. Moved to Ursula F in 1st grade to pilot
• Beth and Bill to meet to streamline registration process-one general reg. Button on cmcfn.com and then a simple Google form to send out upon request for group registration  - last year’s registration was a problem when the Weebly store detached each registrant from his or her school or grant.  Billing was slow and tedious as we sorted out 120+ teachers.
• Beth ordering folders and pencils and sending to Lisa-done.
• Gwen to send MaryAnn equipment need for keynote
• Need to create and get out flyers-done and will do again.  Ryan K at HCOE stuffed boxes.
• Gwen to email/call Harold to see what workshops he can do and if he’s bringing a team-done
• -using classroom assessment to prepare students for SBAC
• MaryAnn to contact Mike Butler
• MaryAnn getting items for folders-confirmed

Other Business:
CMCFN sponsors the Humboldt Math Festival with an annual grant.
 
Asilomar:
 
We will be raffling  2  $550 scholarships to Asilomar at the conf. This year two working teachers will come with the team to the CMCN conf. Last year we did not limit who could enter and a college Junior won, attended and then decided not to become a teacher.  Lesson learned.
