The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m.
The April minutes were read via email prior to the meeting
and one correction was made and then approved.
Jami will re-send to the City for the records.
No report at this time.
No mail. Rochelle did report that there was one vendor application, which she gave to Jami. It was also reported that Kolieha Bush and Nolene Triska from P.A.G.E. donated $50 to the Arts Commission. Yeah! Kathleen offered to send a thank you card.
Please remember that Jami still asks that everyone give any
suggestions, additions, etc., to her anytime for our website. It was discussed and decided that she will
add commissioners’ bios to the website.
She will re-send these out for any corrections.
Jami reported that she had purchased a new and better email
blast program – Constant Contact. She
has already used it and it worked out very well. The old program would have required a program
such as Photo Shop to use it well, so this worked out better. The cost for one year, however, was $252 with
the discount. The commission voted to
reimburse for half the cost even with Jami’s insistent that she not be
reimbursed.
Gloria reminded us that we usually have a spring and fall
retreat. It was decided that for this
year we would wait until fall. For
2008, we will plan on a Feb or March retreat as well.
None at this time.
Jami read Kate’s report from last month. Kate reported receiving $1,000 donation from
Molly Bugge-Moore, a local ERA realtor.
The ESC was still waiting to hear back from Key Bank. Regarding the CD Project, Am reported she had
received 9 out of approximately 20 performers permission forms. She also spoke to Kolieha about doing the art
for the cover and Michelle Griffin plans to do the graphics. Am still needs input from various sources
about what exactly needs to go on the covers and the actual CD’s. Gloria suggested it would be discussed at the
next Summer Celebration meeting – May 10th, 6:30 pm at the
Kate also reported that we were under budget for the
musical performances and things seemed to be going along great. She thought we’d be able to afford to pay the
local musicians something for participating in the Music Crawl.
Regarding the TDC grant monies received for the brochure,
Gloria determined that it was too big a task to get done in time and have done
perfect so the monies were given back to the TDC. Gloria wants Kathleen to know that she and the
whole commission greatly appreciate all the hard work she put into this
project. Gloria also reported that
Nolene Triska is writing articles for the local paper and will be using the
information we did get to put out informational pieces regarding upcoming
events.
The EAAC brochure creation project will be tabled until
after the Summer Celebration.
Kathleen passed out a wonderful article she composed for
recruiting volunteers. The group
reviewed and made suggestions. She will
send via email for one last perusal prior to sending it to the local
newspapers. Thank you, Kathleen!
Jami had color quarter page handouts made for the SC to be
handed out at the Oregon River Games the weekend of May 4th. She and Gloria will drive them up river to be
handed out.
The commission decided to try and sell hand fans
(preferably cardboard) and nylon drawstring bags with the SC logo on each. Kathleen will contact her source for these
and will report back.
Centennial Art Project – No report at this time.
Library 1% for Art – No report at this time.
Friends of the Arts (FOTA)
Jami received another FOTA via the website – Sylvia
Mariscal who wants to help with graphics and marketing.
Jami reported that everything went great with a
turnout of at least 80! The commission
received $61 in the donation jar! The
display board was up – done!! - and had EAAC, ESC, Symphony, and FOTA
information attached. Stevan was very
pleased with the whole evening and asked if we would consider this event
bi-annually. Jami told him it would be
discussed in the future.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
The next meeting will be held June 6, 2007.
Respectfully submitted,
Jami Berry, Secretary
