Park Board pursues Veneta-themed fundraising products and confirms $4,000 donation
Summary
Staff proposed a Veneta-themed board game and a custom playing-card deck as fundraising concepts; the Park Board confirmed a $4,000 donation to its savings fund and agreed to a year-round sponsor banner approach with confirmed contributions from local entities.
Community Development Director Kevin Urban described two preliminary fundraising ideas: a Veneta-themed board game (working title 'FernRidgeopoly') and a custom Veneta Parks playing-card deck. The proposed model would fund an initial production run, sell units at a markup, and invite local businesses to sponsor board spaces or card faces.
Urban reported the Park Board received and deposited a $4,000 donation (sourced by former board member Craig Soderberg from Sierra Pacific Industries in a prior year), and committed to including checking and savings balances in future budget reports. Member Becky Cox outlined a revised sponsorship plan that shifts year-round banner placement on the picnic shelter gable and at the pickleball courts, and Vice Chair Crystal Donagan provided a list of confirmed and committed contributions.
