OLD BUSINESS
Centennial Arts Project Update
Suzanne stated that they held a
meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 18th, at the Open Door Studio. They came up with a list of project ideas,
which included a community tile project, a time capsule displayed in a
decorative case, sculptures, among other permanent projects. The committee decided the project should last
at least 100 years, it should reflect the community, and they wanted the
project to represent the present looking toward the future. Am Griswold, Mimi Near, and Steve Niichel
will be invited to head the project and provide their expertise. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday,
March 10, at 7:00 pm at the Open Door Studio.
Auditorium/Estacada Together/Friends of EPA Update
Jane reported that the committee met
last week and things were moving slowly.
They were still waiting for a final policy fee structure, which needs to
be approved by the board. They only have
two events lined up so far. They are
still interested in the idea of a film series but that, too, is moving slowly.
