Agenda Items:

Art Show evaluation:  Decisions/Discussion/ Updates:

Great Reception, lots of people 75? No bread, miscommunication. Remember
to ask BOH (Liz Whipple) for permit for food items. Suggestion: have a
guest book for people to sign with comments. It's a tremendous workload
to put up and take down the show. Suggestion: Don't call it "drop off"
and "pick up" but rather show hanging and take down. Make more of an
effort to get a quota of helpers from those submitting work. Also be
more direct about needing people to sit.

October 22 film night:_Decisions/Discussion/ Updates:

Potluck responsibilities: Suzanne - lasagna, Nicol - dessert, Mari -
salad, Tom - other main dish. Popcorn: Nicol & Mari. Projector: Tom

Tent: Decisions/Discussion/ Updates:

No more progress on this issue. Janice Starmer stopped by, said she'd
give Brian Miner a call.

Soup event: Decisions/Discussion/ Updates:

Usually the 3rd weekend in January and we work with Wooden Fender who
organizes music, flier. Let's meet in early December to plan.

Theater event: Decisions/Discussion/ Updates:

Jonathan Mirin has just submitted a Cultural Council grant for his 28
Feet theater performance with us as local sponsoring agent. Not sure how
much will come through, he gets between $600-$1000. We did $600 for Mark
Twain last year. Old Home Days may not work for him timing wise, he'll
know in January.
