07:32 Becky H!

10:48 Jonathon hi

10:59 CindyK Hi!

11:00 CindyK Did I miss all the action?

11:00 Becky hi Cindy

11:00 Becky do you have any questions

11:00 CindyK Yes, I have an issue that came up today that I wanted to discuss.

11:01 Becky ok whats going on

11:01 CindyK I was wondering when (timeframe) that Kaboom issues the $4,500 check to the playground company.

11:02 Becky the checks usally go out two weeks before the equipment order is summited

11:03 Jonathon hey

11:03 Jonathon Hi Cindy!

11:03 CindyK I'm not really sure I understand that. Here's where we are with our project. The PTA who received the grant has given the $$ to the school district and they in turn have issued the PO to order the equipment. Hey Jonathon!

11:04 Jonathon right,

11:04 Jonathon We need a copy of the PO and your invoice from the equipment rep

11:04 CindyK I've submitted reports to Jonathon and we will now be building soon. So where in there does the Gametime rep receive their portion of the grant for the equipment.

11:05 CindyK I submitted reports last week.

11:06 Jonathon The manufacturer will pay the equipment rep after I submit the check to Gametiime

11:07 CindyK Approximately how long is that taking? I'm just curious. Are looking at weeks or months?

11:07 Jonathon We already sent it. It was sent on the 19th

11:08 CindyK Awesome!

11:08 Becky Do you have anymore questions we can help you out with

11:08 CindyK So I need to keep submitting posts to the forums and I need to finish my Playspace Finder entries and then after the build, I have more reports to submit, correct?

11:09 Becky You need to keep posting forums

11:09 Becky and you need to finish your playspace finder stuff

11:09 Becky then make sure you rate your vendor

11:10 CindyK When will you send me the Grantee Completion Report?

11:10 Becky yes you will get that at the end of your build

11:10 Becky it is the last thing you do

11:11 CindyK Will you be sending me Kaboom and/or Home Depot signage?

11:11 Becky yes

11:11 Becky when is your build

11:11 CindyK Waiting for final confirmation of that, but we are shooting for Nov 27.

11:11 Becky that is great!

11:12 Becky we will send it out closer to the build

11:12 CindyK We'll actually start site prep on Nov 25.

11:12 Becky you will get it about a week before

11:12 Becky Jonathon sends out a request

11:12 Becky to have those sent

11:12 Becky about a week before your build

11:12 Becky so the week before the 25th

11:40 Jonathon Hi Jan

11:41 Becky Hi Jan do you have any questions

11:43 Becky Jan when are you building

11:43 Jan I'm getting a really late start on this grant. I'm wondering if there's a list of things that you can / cannot do with the home depot gift card?

11:44 Becky What kind of grant are you

11:44 Becky do you know

11:44 Jan It's a "Blitz" project?

11:45 Becky You can do anything you want with the $2000

11:45 Becky you can buy mulch

11:45 Becky flowers

11:45 Becky paint

11:45 Becky anything

11:45 Jonathon its up to you...

11:45 Jonathon Whats the name of your organization?

11:46 Jonathon You need a copy of the Home Depot receipt

11:46 Jan So, it's not necessarily to be used for a playground?

11:46 Jan I'm with the Logansport Parks Department in Indiana\

11:46 Jonathon its usually used for renovation purposes

11:46 Jonathon beautification projects

11:47 Jan So you don't see any problem with renovating an old pavilion?

11:47 Jonathon no problem at all

11:48 Jan Becky & Jonathan, you're with the KaBoom organization?

11:48 Jonathon Jan, have you talked to Mickey Daguiso at KaBOOM! lately?

11:48 Becky that is great

11:49 Becky it sounds like it will alll work out

11:49 Becky :)

11:49 Jan I guess we'll figure something out together.

11:49 Jonathon it sounds like you are on the right track

11:49 Jonathon just let Mickey know if any changes come up in your project

11:49 Jan I'm also wondering if a community build project is also required?

11:49 Jonathon yes

11:50 Becky so grab some of your favorite volunteers

11:50 Jan I guess I wish we'd had all this information prior to the local Make A Difference Day.

11:50 Jan Mostly our fault.
