In attendance: Anna Carroll Foulds, Alan Smith, Steve Crook, Alan Foulds, and Mary Williams Business 1. The minutes of the June 1998 meeting were approved. 2. Correspondence that was sent to Karen from Dr. Sellers office was read. No action was taken. 3. The logo font was discussed. The committee felt that it was important to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible, so shirts can be ordered. The general feeling is to stay with "Marigold" if possible. Alan Foulds will send copies of the font to both Alan Smith and to Steve, so they can research its availability. 4. Dick offered his garage for shirt storage, and he will sell shirts any time and place for us. 5. Mary moved that we allow the High School Drama Club to be a distributor of our sweatshirts and t-shirts, and allowing them to keep $1 from the sale of each item. Paid solicitation will not be allowed, and the club must keep us informed as to the methods and progress. Alan Smith seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. 6. Alan Foulds presented an outline of potential uptown events, including venues at various churches, Town Hall, the Senior Center, and the Masonic Hall. Events could include themed venues such as a "local stage", featuring local talent, a "Turn of the Century stage", with re- enactments of well known speakers of the 20`h century, and a "kid stage". Steve moved that we adopt the report as the "framework" for the uptown events, and it was seconded by Dick. The motion passed unanimously. 7. On a motion by Mary, and a second by Alan Smith, the idea of staging a "Grand Ball" at the Field House was dropped, in favor of a multi-media event, lasting throughout the evening and well into the morning. The reason given for the change was to keep the events in line with the family theme that was previously adopted. It was felt that the replacement event would be more inclusive. The motion carried unanimously. 8. The 2k for 2k event has been postponed until spring. Mary reported that the fields would not be available before then. 9. Mary made a proposal to organize a "winter house warming" as a fundraiser slated for this December. She will ask various town residents to open their houses on a specified date to show off a particular room or collection. She will have more details at the October meeting. Mary moved that we authorize her to continue with the plans. It was seconded by Steve, and it carried unanimously. 10. Mary reported that she has written articles concerning various aspects of the celebration for both the Reading Chronicle and Reading Notes. She will use the Reading Advocate to publicize the winter house warming. 11. Ace will call Brenda Smith to gauge her interest in joining the corporation board, and to serve at its treasurer. The meeting was adjourned at 9:21 PM. to October 14th, 1998.
