Location: the home of Rob and True Fisher
Minutes: Dave called for gripes about the minutes. Sarah said the tentative date for the Old House Fair is Oct. 23, not Oct. 22 as reported. The minutes were approved as corrected.
Treasurer's Report: Assets CDs $3460, savings $7406, checking $562, total $11,429.
Arts Administrator: Sarah received $205 from the Valentine fund raising
letter, for a total of $1,498. True was the only committee chairman to submit a
budget, so Sarah used last year's budgets to write grants. The Gamble Mill
Gallery Committee, Alex and Dave will meet April 22 at Joyce's to discuss
reception cost increases. Sarah noted a good turn out at the last reception and
said Jean Porter sold 10 pieces priced $120-250. (She exhibited 12.)
Jim moved and Alex seconded that we fund Sarah's attendance at a two-day
Art Alliance seminar with the Pennsylvania council on the Arts in Harrisburg in May. The cost is $150. The motion passed.
Sarah said Jim's CDT Weekender story got a good response, so maybe
he should handle publicity. Nothing was decided.
Film Forum: Joe said the 16 in attendance liked using The Bush House.
The building is handicapped accessible, which is viewed favorably by the
Council on the Arts when reviewing grant applications. Sarah said they also
look for themes, something to remember for next year.
Summer Sounds: Everybody did his or her job, so Dave
had nothing to report.
Old House Fair: The committee will meet April 21, as
planned.
Library Concerts: Jim said Bella Chorda String Quartet performs Sunday.
Victorian Christmas: True
has had two calls from craftsmen about the Victorian Arts and Crafts Show. Alex
said the committee still needs volunteers.
Tiles: Ellen said the new tile may be
a"drawering" of the lawyers' offices on the corner of High and Spring
Streets. Nearly all the first tiles have been sold and people are asking when
the next one will be issued. It has been decided to have limited editions of 100.
New Business: Romayne asked for volunteers for the
Pennsylvania Special Olympics Summer Games at Penn State June 10-13.
The next meeting was set for May 14
at Melady and Rob's. (Secretary's Note: That meeting was later
changed to May 21 at Dave and Sarah's -- R.) Jim moved and Sarah seconded
adjournment. The motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Romayne B. Naylor
Secretary
