The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m.
The March minutes were read via email prior to the meeting
and approved.
Rochelle reported that she met with Randy Ealy regarding
the EAAC requesting financial support from the City toward operating
expenses. Randy was very receptive to
the idea and we should know sometime in May whether the EAAC is in the City’s
budget.
No mail. Rochelle reported having received prior a check from the Eagle Foundry for $500 for the Summer Celebration. Jami will send a thank you and receipt.
Jami still asks that everyone give any suggestions,
additions, etc., to her anytime for our website.
None at this time.
At the time of the meeting, Jami had not received a Summer
Celebration report from Kate. She will,
however, check with Kate and forward any report from her to everyone after the
meeting. The next SC meeting is April 12
at 6:30 pm at the
Kathleen handed out another version of the TDC grant
project flyer. Jami will email Kathleen
the number of mailers needed (she estimated 5,000). Gloria is working with the Chamber to update
the information that is currently on the flyer and will get together with
Kathleen when she returns this week from her vacation.
Janette brought three advertising gadgets sales catalogs,
which the group quickly reviewed. It was
decided to look into purchasing nylon backpacks and water bottles. Kathleen said her source is better with
pricing so she’ll research and get back to us regarding prices.
Estacada Tourism Committee –
Kathleen did not attend the meeting as she thought it was postponed. The Chamber may be taking over the TDC.
Artback donated all the postcards Angel would need for her project, which Am brought for Angel. Angel reported she would have a mock-up ready for perusal on May 2nd.
Centennial Art Project – No report at this time.
Library 1% for Art – No report at this time.
Friends of the Arts (FOTA)
Jami received a FOTA via the website – a couple who lives
in Eagle Creek. She will answer them and
invite them to the Writers Night event and to volunteer for Summer Celebration.
Jami reported that everything was going
smoothly. The next event is Writers
Night on Sat., April 21. She contacted
Barbara Adams to do a story about Stevan Allred and this event. It will be out on the April 11 issue of the
Estacada Newspaper. Angel and Janette
have volunteered to man the front table.
Jami will have the tri-fold done and in place for the evening’s event
with FOTA pages ready and the FOTA box.
We agreed to have cookies, water, and juice for free and have a jar
asking for donations.
Am reported that she spoke with Denise about putting the postcards into the water bills. She learned that there are only 850 water bills that go out. Since the postcards are too large for the envelopes, she will ask Artsmith how much they’ll charge to cut them down. The remaining ones will go to the Chamber, Spiral Gallery, art events, and Summer Celebration. Because the other TDC project (flyer) will be mailed out first, the postcards will go out in the June water bill.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
The next meeting will be held May 2, 2007.
Respectfully submitted,
Jami Berry, Secretary
