The meeting was
called to order at 7:05 pm.
The October
minutes were read via email prior to the meeting and approved.
Kathleen
brought in an updated treasurer’s report; the commission has approximately
$1,327.82 and the summer celebration has approximately $1,661,49.
No mail at
this time.
The commission
looked over the Policies in place and the Mission Statement and Goals of the
Celebration. It was decided to add “To
Keep it Fun!” as one of the goals. We
also approved the Mission Statement as written below.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Estacada Area Arts Commission’s
“Estacada Summer Celebration” is to present an annual community-building event
in downtown Estacada, celebrating the arts through diverse visual artists,
musical performances, and cultural and heritage experiences.
Publicity
Jami will keep a watch out
for a less expensive email blast program as the current one is a bit hefty in
price, but does work very nice.
Fundraising
In regards to the
backpacks, chairs/tables/stools, Am will be working on this after the
holidays. Am also reported that there
are a lot of “Heart of Estacada” postcards left over and everyone agreed with
her suggestion was to save and distribute in the water bill again – in the
spring of 2008.
Angel Austin’s goal is to
have the Mural Artwalk project done in time for spring.
No report at this time.
It was discussed what
needs to be done, and Gloria will get the information together for Am who has
agreed to work on calling the FOTA’s and updating the database.
The commission is still
short one commissioner and it has to be a “in the city limits” person. We are still looking….
Jami has been talking with
the City Of Milwaukie as they are trying to get an Arts Commission
started. She has emailed them
information and she and Gloria met with a representative to help them get
started.
Estacada
Together has been adjusting their schedule and PAGE has not yet confirmed the
dates for the play. Jami is waiting for
all this to be finalized prior to picking a date for Writers’ Night. The plan is to have a mailing ready by the
beginning of January.
The meeting
was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
The next
meeting will be held Wed., December 5, 2007 at 7:00 pm in the City Council
chambers.
Respectfully
submitted,
Jami Berry,
Secretary
