Philanthropic & Charitable Donations
Charles Waddell reported that the charitable organizations listed in Appendix A had
received the majority of the funds donated by the Richardson Sports/Carolinas Stadium
Corporation in 1995.
Stadium Construction
Jon Richardson informed the group that the contractors were 20 months into the 28
month project and 98% of all bids have been committed to. He reviewed the MBE
Participation percentages with the group (refer to handout). Currently the percentages
exceed the high end on the 10-15% stated goal for minority participation.
Concessions
Paul Laky of Volume Services said they continue to receive phone calls asking about
concession opportunities for Carolinas Stadium. About half of the people who call
follow up in writing (about 35 to date). He also informed the group that 10 of the 28 nonprofit organizations working the concessions at Clemson were minority-operated. Laky
asked the group for assistance in helping them expand the pool of minority vendors and
non-profit organizations.
February NAACP Meeting
Kelly Alexander requested that we ask Richardson Sports/Carolinas Stadium Corporation
personnel to attend their February 2, 1996 Meeting in Charlotte. A special invitation was
extended to Mr. William "Bill" Sims.
Next Meeting
Waddell will poll the group later to finalize the date of the next Fair Share Meeting.
April and September of 1996 were good possibilities.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:55 PM.
