NEWPORT-MESA SCHOOL BOARD PREVIEW

DEALERSHIP FUND-RAISING

Earlier in the year, school board president Dana Black and trustee Jim

Ferryman began discussions with representatives from the Harbor Boulevard

of Cars regarding possible fund-raising programs. A plan was developed

that $50 from the sale of each car would be donated to a school fund.

What to expect: Representatives from the Harbor Boulevard of Cars will

present the board with an overview of the program and a check for an

initial $50,000 donation. The funds raised will be dispersed through the

Newport-Mesa Schools Foundation.

UNITED WAY SUPPORT

Each year, the school board adopts a resolution to support the United

Way campaign. This year marks the Newport-Mesa Unified School District’s

30th year of participation.

What to expect: The board is expected to recognize the United Way

campaign, which runs Oct. 26 through Nov. 17. They will also hear a

presentation at tonight’s board meeting from Cathi Pierson, United Way

district campaign coordinator, and Stephanie McElheney, senior vice

president of the United Way.
