It was decided that we would re-write the RFP and Dawn would secure someone to provide a training at the September Board meeting. Donations to IDP We have noticed a drop in the number donations to IDP since the format of donating has changed this year on the RID website. In the next vlog from IDP we will ask for the IDP membership to consider donating to IDP as the ability to donate is year round.
