Meeting Info
Meeting was held June 22, 2010 at the Marcus Library with 13 members attending. A motion was made, sec. and carried to give a donation to Faith Lutheran Church, for use of their Fellowship Hall for our Annual Guest Day event, held on June 19th.
Correspondance: A letter received from Jim McGee of Buena Park, CA with a check/donation to be used toward the possible expense of transporting Dr. Joynt's car to Marcus. Faith also received additional info from the business that would make "Historic Post Cards" if we are interested in this as a fund raiser project.
Old Business: Lorraine Cave reports on the Family Fun Night event. Not as many attending this year and less floats sold. The "window decoration" project at the Niemann Bldg. on Main St was very well done using a Patriotic Theme. Annual Guest Day event was very well attended! The 70 guests attending enjoyed a day, "Remembering the 1971 Centennial Pageant and Parade"
John Carey, from Farmers State Agency was present at the meeting to discuss our Insurance policy, which is due to be renewed July 25, 2010. There will be an increase in rates for next 3 years, but John goes through the various items in our present coverage and how we can make changes to keep the premiums close to the same amount we presently paying per mth. Also discussed the upcoming need for an insurance policy to cover the Dr. Joynt car.
More old business: Don Specht reports on the information obtained so far by the Committee, working on the handicapped accessibility project for the entrances to the Reed Center. As yet, there are no bids available as to the cost. But, in his search for information he found a possible alternative to "re-constructing" the entrances.
New business: There were several comments made at Guest Day, asknig for a copy of the 1971 Centennial Video. Margaret Simonsen, whose personal pictures were used in making this video has given permission to make additional copies and her son-in-law, who professionally makes these videos has agreed to make copies, if we are interested in selling them as a fund raiser. After some discussion, it was carried to order some copies to sell at the Fair Booth in August. Galen Ducommun requests that a Thank You be sent to Tom Leavitt-for his assistance helping Galen setup properly for running the video during the Guest Day event. Pat Ducommun asks permission to schedule at PEO group, to have their meeting in the Reed Center and take a tour of the building also. Permission granted.
