HERITAGE TOUR

representatives. The easels gave us difficulty outside our exhibit.
DEMOLITION
The demolition at 1618 N. Richmond Rd. needs publicity to help advertise this home. It would
be helpful if signs were displayed.

discussion that the sweatshirts would sell for$20.00 and the T-shirts would sell for$12.00.
Lori made a motion to approve the above reatil prices. It was seconded and the motion passed.
It was decided that the shirts would be displayed in bank lobbies, the bulletin board at the
Municipal Center, and heavy traffic areas. They would try to publicize the shirts in the Star News
and the Northwest Herald along with photos.
Lori stated that the sale of the shirts and proceeds are for the City and the Facade Improvement
Grant. It is important that people understand this concept.

arranged with Debbie Gust. We are presently working on the Landmark Committee member's
schedule. Set up will be at approximately 8:00 a.m.

The fundraising proceeds will go into a separate account. Carl stated they would look into this
matter at a future date.
FALL PROGRAM
The topic of guest speakers will be discussed in further detail at the Sept. meeting.
Carl suggested to consider another meeting each month in order to get things accomplished.
This would give the members additional time to work on pictures, etc. The second Tuesday of
each month was motioned by Jean. The new meeting schedule would commence in
September. The first Tuesday of each month is scheduled for agenda and business topics. The
second Tuesday of each month is scheduled for workshops. The motion passed unanimously.
