Present at meeting:
Chuck Kummeth, Lee Wyland Karen
Neset, Scot O'Malley
Meeting began at 7:10pm . The first item discussed was the proposed Block
Party, set for September 16th of this year. Lee brought up the issue of
cost for a banner announcing the party. He had talked to someone who said
the cost of one banner would be approximately
$1500. Additionally, we
have to pay the city to put the banner up.
Karen spoke to Anita
at Vine Street Floral, who is in
favor of the party
but couldn't contribute more than $50 in flowers.
Chuck will follow up with Grant Yetter about a band to
play at the party.
He will also poll residents of Sixth Street about their
acceptance of a
block party on their street. He will also check on getting ice cream.
Lee spoke with Abigail Page and Mary Morgan at Mickey
Finn's about
supporting the party.
They explained that Mickey Finn's is actually a
bunch of individual
dealers, and they couldn't speak for all of them.
Mary said she would help, but her business is for sale
and she may no be in
business next fall.
Moving on to other business:
Karen will check with Mary Washburn about talking to
Dorothy Wilson at the
Historical Society about our possible involvement with
the Octagon House in
conjunction with Preservation Week in May.
Lee thought a brochure for our group (Laurie Wyland will
speak to Jen and
Al about it) could be put together, with a mission
statement explaining the
HVNA mission.
Lee thought we needed to have additions to the mission
statement, and Karen
suggested we have this done before the April 25 general
meeting of HVNA.
Lee will have suggestions for a revised mission
statement and the bulk of
he brochure done for this meeting.
The meeting concluded at 7:50pm.
