[9:50pm] Bluestreak: Just something non-city specific [9:51pm] jokeefe_: could divide it $33 x 3 [9:51pm] Bluestreak: So two food banks one in Camb [9:51pm] Bluestreak: one in WMA [9:51pm] Bluestreak: one for the bill of rights [9:51pm] Kendra: I am open to all of these suggestions. Whatever works. [9:52pm] srevilak: I like the three way split, BORDC + two food banks [9:52pm] Bluestreak: I could go 50/50 food banks [9:52pm] Bluestreak: Holidays and all [9:52pm] Bluestreak: I move 2 food banks and BORDC 33 each [9:53pm] jokeefe_: 2nd [9:53pm] jokeefe_: all in favor?
