OLD BUSINESS:

• Subcommittee reports were given by board members:
  • Membership: Currently 28 couples and 31 single memberships have paid for the 99-2000 year for a total of 87 members.
  • Technology: Discussion regarding the selling of website advertising banners was re-opened. It was suggested we check if other historical society websites have banners. Prices for these spaces vary depending on number of hits at the site. Wayne would like us to look for grant money instead. The GH library is interested in looking for a joint grant. We have been averaging 300 hits per month. Tom reported no e-mails have been received recently. We need to encourage such communication.
  • Newsletter: The draft of the next issue was passed out to be reviewed by the board and all corrections or comments were to be called within 24 hours. Pat asked for help in interviewing residents for articles. The e-mail address GHMCHS@hotmail.com will be included if room permits. For the following issue, Pat has requested any ideas or content be submitted to him by the January 11th meeting.
  • Breezeway: Bill and Win will help Tracy with some of the ongoing maintenance problems.
  • OHIO/2003: The application for the Urlin home site was our only one submitted for the historic marker. 33 applications were received for this time and 7 or 10 are granted every 3 months. A decision will be made by 11-17-99 for this particular application period. Wayne will talk to Tracy about how to get the city of Grandview involved in qualifying to receive a Bicentennial flag.
  • Home Tour 2001: Board members made suggestions for homes to include. Discussion ensued.
  • Liaison Report: Nothing to report.

• Win again thanked everyone for all the hard work at the annual meeting and she will write a thank you to Lynn Benson for the student volunteers.
• The following slate of officers was presented: President Win Keller Vice President Tracy Liberatore Secretary Sally Kosnik Treasurer Jo Ann Curry It was moved by Wayne and seconded by Pat to accept the slate. Motion passed.
• Tracy has prepared a sign out sheet for our Historical Room to be used by all who remove any item or items from the room. Upon the return of any item it will be logged back in. There was very positive discussion as to the need for this procedure in order to preserve all of our history that has been entrusted to us as well as to save many hours of searching for something when it is not found in the files

ADJOURNMENT: The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. The next Board meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, Jan 11, 2000 at 7:00 p.m at the GH/MCHS Board Room of the Grandview Library.
