BOARD MEETING MINUTES Tuesday, September 7, 1999

Board members met in the Board meeting room at the Grandview Heights Library.

The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m.

MINUTES: Minutes from the August meeting were reviewed, corrected and approved.

OLD BUSINESS:

• Treasurer's Report: Revised report for June was presented as well as the Aug. report.
• Board agreed to help Edison with the cost of restoring their clock, as was done for Stevenson Elem.
• Subcommittee reports were given by board members:
  • Membership: In 98-99 we had 73 paid members. To date we have 10 1999-2000 dues paid.
  • Technology: New additions to the website include the Stevenson scrapbook, our current newsletter and updated membership form, images from the Bank Block, the Urlin home, and slides from the Fridenstine collection. The Tarpy and Voelker houses will soon be seen. There have been 2200 hits. It was suggested we continue looking for sponsors to advertise on the website and in the newsletter.
  • Newsletter: Mailed on Aug. 25. Universal compliments were offered to Pat & Margie. It was suggested a photo of the original founders be taken at the Annual Meeting & be printed in the next newsletter.
  • Breezeway: An attempt will be made to find an all weather tape that should secure the pictures.
  • OHIO/2003: The Oct. 29th due date will be met by submitting pictures of the Urlin home and the Poor House. It was a consensus to try for 2 markers understanding funding will be necessary if they are granted. We will attempt to get owners' approval before the deadline but will proceed regardless since the markers can be placed on a city easement. Again it was stressed that both city councils work with us in planning any special events for 2003.
  • Home Tour 2001: A discussion was held of suggestions and hints to get started
  • Liaison Report: Attempts will be made to get on the agenda of both Councils. Tom has decided to approach the schools through more individual avenues. There are some teachers receptive to speakers and working with us on the walking tour developed several years ago.
  • Annual meeting: Pat gave an overview of the afternoon plans. Board members volunteered for various assignments. Discussion of the flyer notifying members of the meeting was held and Jo Ann will help Pat with the mailing on this Wed.

• Sally will prepare a new board roster for everyone and include e-mail addresses. Tom DeMaria, Ruthanne James, and Margie Wilson have all agreed to stay on board for another 3 year term.

ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. The next Board meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, Oct 5, 1999 at 7:00 p.m at the GH/MCHS Board Room of the Grandview Library.
