Ed Bigelow.
Ed called upon Bill O'Donnell who reported
that they were exploring some creative purchasing
possibilities on the old garage building on 2nd street, but
any report is at this point premature. The Garden Club asked
Myrna Carlin about planting the window boxes at the old
Information Booth; Myrna was instructed to tell them to see
Jack Witt.
Member Services.
Myrna Carlin.
Myrna
reports that all is in place for the upcoming dinner, and
tickets are now available. All the preliminaries are set for
the August dinner. Tickets are now available. Bill O'Donnell
reported that
500 new placemats are here.
Museum.
Bob Childers.
Bob Childers asked Bill O'Donnell about the
postcard situation. It was the Board's feeling that the
postcards weren't worth pursuing at this time. As to Museum
clean-up, Bob will get together with Gail Bluhrn and Nancy
Grant and they will see to the duties. Lindstrom made a motion
to allow reimbursement to Jim Ege for $67.17 for materials for
the new sign; second by Alfiedson and passed. Jim Ege also
found some hardware that will not squeak for hanging the sign;
Childers to quiz him on this.
Old Business:
President Bigelow presented information he'd
gathered on digital picture frames after last meeting's
discussion, and he briefly reviewed these. They were turned over
to Bob Childers for further investigation, and for a feasibility
study as
to just how they could fit
in the Museum without obstructing visitor paths, how many could
be accommodated, should they have audio, and other questions. He
can check with Jim Ege for technical advice as necessary.
New Business:
Karen Way said she would lend us Mar's cassettes
of PHS dinners should we be interested in putting them on
disc. Ed will follow this up for details. Myrna mentioned a
large map
that had been constructed by Bud
Stenberg showing former sites of downtown businesses that made
in
intriguing display piece. Bud is
offering to donate it to the PHS if we want it, when he no
longer wants it, and Myrna will follow-up on this, as the
Board
all felt the Society should have it
for future
use. Nancy Grant suggested that a
notice be placed in the next newsletter asking whether members
had objections to their names being given out. Gail Bluhrn asked
whether it would be appropriate to have flyers
in
the
Museum
from the West Michigan Underwater
Preserve that they would supply at their expense. The Board felt
that this would be appropriate.
Adjournment:
Meeting adjourned at
3:00
p.m.
Next Meeting Date: July 7, 2010. Village Hall
Council Chamber
Respectfully Submitted
Jim Alfredson, Secretary
