RIGHT.I SARAH CHAPMAN, CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER OF THE ARTS AND BEAUTIFICATION COMMISSION.
WE'LL JUST DO THIS SIMPLY BY STARTING AT THE END AND SHARING OUR NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE TURN YOUR MIC ON.
MELISSA GWEN MASON, KNICKERBOCKER FOX.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT EVERYBODY HERE.
UH, EXCITED TO HAVE YOU IN OUR NEW SPACE AND ALL 500 OF OUR WATCHERS AT HOME ENJOY THIS, THIS LOVELY COUNCIL CHAMBER.
OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS ELECTION OF A CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.
UM, I WAS ELECTED ON MY LITERAL FIRST MEETING AND I WROTE SHERILYN TO BACKING ME UP, AND SHE'S BEEN INCREDIBLE HELP.
DOES THE, DOES ANYONE WANT TO STEP FORWARD AND SERVE IN THIS WAY? IT HAS BEEN FANTASTIC AND FUN WORKING WITH SARAH AND MOLLY.
FIRST OF ALL, DO YOU WANT TO SERVE A SECOND TERM? I AM WILLING, UNLESS SOMEONE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO STEP INTO THAT.
'CAUSE I BELIEVE IN, UH, CREATING NEW LEADERS AND, AND, YOU KNOW, LETTING PEOPLE STEP FORWARD INTO ROLES.
UM, I DON'T NEED THIS TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
SO, UM, WHAT I AM HEARING IS THAT THERE IS NO ONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE THEMSELVES OR A FRIEND AND WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE THE NEWEST AMENDMENT.
UM, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO CONTINUE OUR CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR, UH, IN CURRENT ROLES? SO MOVED.
GREG, DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
CHERYL, YOU'RE ON THE PATH WITH ME.
SARAH, IF YOU'RE WATCHING, CONGRATULATIONS.
MOLLY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR, UH, BEING OUR LIAISON RIGHT NOW.
UM, CITIZEN COMMENTS, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY.
MOLLY, HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY OLD BUSINESS? UM, WILL MSA DESIGN BE VISITING US TODAY OR IS THIS JUST AN OVERALL MURAL DISCUSSION? 'CAUSE WE CAN TABLE THIS TILL I GET HERE.
IT IS AN OVERALL MURAL DISCUSSION.
UM, LATEST UPDATE IS THAT THEY'RE WAITING FOR A LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED SO THEY CAN PROCEED WITH DESIGN PLANS.
UM, WHEN HIGH SCHOOL DECLINED THE OFFER, UH OH SURE.
I'VE BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH WHEN THEY ARE RESISTANT TO PUTTING IT ON THE OUTSIDE, UH, THEY'RE INTERESTED AND THEY DIDN'T WANNA COMPLETELY SHUT IT DOWN ENTIRELY.
SO I CAN GO BACK IF WE ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT IT MUST BE ON THE OUTSIDE, I CAN BRING THAT INFORMATION BACK TO THEM AND SEE WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE.
BUT THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE ARE RESISTANT TO A, TO AN OUTDOOR MURAL.
WE GET, WE DO HAVE A PRELIMINARY PLAN B LOCATION FOR AN OUTSIDE MURAL.
UM, A BUSINESS, LOCAL BUSINESS HAS AGREED ON LEASE, HAS AGREED TO PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR BUILDING.
WE CHOOSE TO PROCEED AND THEY WILL ACTUALLY, UM, THEY'RE OKAY WITH IT BEING THE ATHLETIC, WELL, THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT THIS COMMISSION CHOOSES.
I, I WOULD SAY FOR ME, I WOULD PREFER IT BE ON THE OUTSIDE.
'CAUSE THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN.
AND I KNOW EXPOSURES WE GET, SO, AND HONESTLY, AS LONG AS IT'S A, A LOCATION THAT HAS GOOD EXPOSURE, I MEAN, I'M RIGHT NEXT TO THE SCHOOL.
IT'S, IT'S VERY NEAR, YOU KNOW, THIS SPOT.
THEY SUPPORT OUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
VERY, VERY, UH, COMMUNITY MINDED.
I THINK, UH, IF THEY'VE SAID PROVISIONALLY, YES.
I MEAN, I PERSONALLY WOULD, WOULD SAY, LET'S GO WITH THE OUTDOOR OPTION.
LET'S GET IT MOVING MIC UP TOO.
UM, ARE WE ALL ALIGNED THAT WE ARE GOING TO, UH, GO WITH LEE'S AS THE OUTDOOR OPTION AND GET OUR, UM, MURAL MOVING? AYE.
[00:05:01]
JOSE SIGN.WE ARE GOING TO BELOW THROUGH THIS, UH, AGENDA.
IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA, BUT THIS IS OLD BUSINESS.
SO MOLLY, I'LL ASK IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
WE DID, UH, LIKE LATE LAST YEAR, WE PUT IN A BUDGET REQUEST AND PART OF THAT INCLUDED, UH, THE BRADFORD PAYER REMOVAL.
DID THE PARKS DEPARTMENT GET THAT GRANT OR KNOW IF THAT'S HAPPENING? I JUST, AS WE THINK ABOUT, WE HAVE A COMMITMENT TO THAT.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE HAVE TO BE AWARE OF? UM, I AM NOT 100% SURE, BUT I WILL FOLLOW UP WITHIN THE NEXT MEETING.
THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT IT OCCURRED TO ME AS I WAS DRIVING IN.
I'M LIKE, WAIT, I FORGOT TO ASK ABOUT THAT.
SO THE NEW BUSINESS, THE BIGGEST THING, UH, WE HAVE COMING UP IS, AND YOU HAVE WITH YOU, UH, A FLYER, OUR MAY ART SHOW.
IT IS PART OF OUR COMMITMENT TO THE AMERICA TWO 50 ACTIVITIES IN ADDITION TO A REGULAR PIECE OF WORK THAT OUR COMMITTEE TAKES ON.
MELISSA IS OUR CHAMPION OF THIS EFFORT.
MELISSA, HOW WE DOING? WE'RE DOING PRETTY GOOD.
MOLLY AND I MET, UM, CAME UP WITH A VERY GOOD FLYER AND SOME VERBIAGE TO PUT ON IT.
WE DECIDED, UH, THAT WE'RE GONNA SET OFF ON MAY 1ST, BUT THE ACTUAL EXHIBIT IS GONNA BE MAY 2ND FROM ONE TO FIVE AT THE SENIOR CENTER IN CASE CASE I MAKE A MISTAKE DATE SET UP.
IS IT JUST THE ONE DAY FOR THE EXHIBIT OR ARE YOU GONNA HAVE IT? YES, IT'S, UH, GONNA BE FOUR HOURS.
AND THEN, UH, IT'S GONNA BE OPEN TO, WE'RE GONNA HAVE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES LIKE YOUTHS, PRIMARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN ADULT CATEGORY.
AND THE VISUAL ARTS CATEGORIES FOR ADULTS WOULD BE OIL, WATERCOLOR, ACRYLIC, DRAWINGS, MIXED MEDIA LIKE COLLAGE, PHOTOGRAPHY, GRAPHIC DESIGN, FABRIC ART, AND SCULPTURE.
UM, LIKE WATERCOLOR, ACRYLIC, MIXED MEDIA.
IF THOSE ARE THREE SEPARATE, UM, SECTIONS WITHIN ADULT YES, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE.
LIKE, YOU MAY WANT TO CONDENSE THE, THE SECTIONS DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
SO IF WE HAVE SIX OR SEVEN ADULT AND THOSE OF YOU WITH LONGER SERVING TENURE, YOU KNOW, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE WITH ME.
BUT IF WE HAVE SIX OR SEVEN ADULTS, TWO OF 'EM MAKE SOME KIND OF PAINTING.
ONE OF 'EM MADE QUILLING, ONE OF 'EM WAS A MAKER AND A WHATEVER.
LIKE, IT JUST, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S TWO CATEGORIES.
LIKE PAINTED, PHOTOGRAPHED AND 3D LIKE SCULPTURE OR WHATEVER.
LIKE YOU JUST, YOU DON'T NEED THAT MANY CATEGORIES.
WELL, FOR A REAL ART SHOW YOU DO.
BECAUSE WATERCOLOR PRESENTS ITSELF TOTALLY DIFFERENTLY FROM OIL PAINTINGS.
YOU KNOW, A DRAWING IS VISUAL ART, BUT IT'S, IT USUALLY DOESN'T WIN BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE COLOR, YOU KNOW, AND THEIR ART.
SO, UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT.
UH, WE WON'T REALLY HAVE DATES ON THESE RIBBONS IF THERE'S LEFTOVER RIBBONS, LIKE CATEGORIES THAT DON'T MAKE.
UH, THEN, THEN WE CAN GO THERE.
UM, WE MAY HAVE SEVERAL PEOPLE DOING OILS AND NO.
AND MAYBE PEOPLE LIKE WATERCOLOR, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE ONE PERSON WHO DOES SCULPTURE.
DO WE LET THEM WIN? PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONLY ONE.
SO WE'RE HAVING FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD IN EACH CATEGORY.
WE WERE ALSO PLANNING ON HAVING, UM, PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
THAT'S GONNA BE FUN BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA, I WE HAVEN'T REALLY DEVELOPED A WAY TO DO THAT YET.
WE, WE TALKED ABOUT A COUPLE WAYS, BUT MAYBE GIVE PEOPLE A TICKET OR, OR SOMETHING AND THEY CAN, OR IF SOMETHING THEY CAN WRITE AND THEN THERE'S CHOICE AND THAT GETS A, A NICE BIG RIBBON.
AND THEN POSSIBLY A MAYOR'S CHOICE TOO, I THINK IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT.
MOSTLY TO GET PEOPLE INVOLVED.
SO THAT'S THE ACTUAL ART EXHIBIT.
AND THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY, OH WELL, TO HAVE JUDGING A CLOSED ROOM FOR JUDGING, THE ARTIST WON'T BE IN THERE.
WE'RE GONNA LET ALLOW THE ARTIST OR ANYONE REALLY TO HAVE, USE ANOTHER ROOM IN THE FACILITY TO SET THEIR ART UP AND SELL DIFFERENT ART.
LIKE SOME PEOPLE MAKE, UM, CARDS OR WHATEVER OTHER ART, OR I HAVE FRIENDS THAT DO THAT.
SO THAT'S ONE WAY THEY COULD RENT A TABLE FOR, I FORGET WHAT WE PUT, MAYBE $20.
SO IF THEY'RE GONNA BE A VENDOR, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A SEPARATE YEAH, THAT WOULD BE A SEPARATE ROOM.
THAT'S, AND THAT'S KIND OF, UH,
[00:10:01]
SOME MONEY.AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT TOO, HAVING AT THE, MAYBE UP AT THE ENTRANCE OR SOMEWHERE SOMETHING, I WOULDN'T SAY A CRAFT FOR A CHILD.
WE HAVEN'T REALLY, MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL DO SOMETHING THERE FOR US.
IT, IT'S BEEN A TWO MONTHS SINCE WE HAD THIS MEETING.
I THINK YOU'RE, YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
AND I, THE SENIOR FOLKS, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE TALKED TO 'EM, THEY'RE GONNA DO WORK DOING THE KITCHEN AND SELL THEIR OWN GOODS.
UM, I DID TALK TO THEM ABOUT THAT.
AND THEY CANNOT DO CONCESSIONS THAT DAY.
THEY WERE ALL BE IN THE SENIOR TRIP.
SO, SO WE HAVE TO HANDLE OUR OWN CONCESSIONS.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO HANDLE YOUR OWN CONCESSIONS OR I CAN FIND ANOTHER GROUP THAT MAY BE WILLING TO COME IN AND DO IT.
THE SENIOR CENTER SAID THAT THEY, ALL OF THEM ARE OUT ON THEIR TRIPS.
AND WE USE THAT KITCHEN TO SET UP IF WE BRING PRE-MADE STUFF.
I CAN SEND YOU THE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE FACILITY USE OF THAT KITCHEN.
AND THAT WAY, YOU KNOW WHAT'S PERMITTED AND WHAT'S NOT.
SO THE IDEA WAS TO LET THEM DO IT SO THEY COULD RAISE MONEY FOR THEIR STUFF.
THAT'S WHY WE WERE, BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE OUT RUNNING ARMENT.
THEY, THEY'LL BE, THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS LEFT
SO, SO FAR, UH, WE'VE, WHERE WE'RE GONNA GET PANELS TO PUT THE ADULT ART ON, UH, AND MOLLY HAS WORKED UP ALL OF THE, UM, ENTRANCE SHEETS FOR IT, WHICH LOOK GOOD.
AND WE'RE GONNA ASK PEOPLE TO GIVE A SAMPLE OF A PICTURE OF THEIR ART, NOT NECESSARILY WHAT THEY'RE GONNA ENTER, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING, UM, OFFENSIVE OR NITY NUDE OR POLITICAL OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING.
WE WANT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO, UM, OFFEND.
SO HOW ARE THE PEOPLE? SO THEY, THEY GIVE A SAMPLE, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE OF WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE.
COULDN'T THEY SNEAK IN THE NUDITY THEN? PARDON ME? COULDN'T THEY SNEAK IN THE NUDITY THEN? IF THEY GAVE A SAMPLE OF SOMETHING ELSE AND THEN THEY SUBMITTED THE NUDITY? OH, WELL WHEN IT COMES IN, WE'LL RECEIVE IT THE NIGHT BEFORE MM-HMM
AND IF IT DOESN'T, AND IT'LL, I THINK IT SAYS ON THE FORM AS WELL, WE HAVE RIGHT OF YES NO NAUGHTY HITS.
AND THEN WHEN THEY BRING IT IN THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN WE'RE GONNA HANG IT MM-HMM
SO WE WON'T BE SEEING DAVID OR, OR, UM, VENUS DE MILO AT THIS EVENT.
BIG LEAF IS A FAMILY OPEN, FAMILY FRIENDLY, OPEN TO THE PUBLIC EVENT.
AND UM, I THINK THERE WAS NOT SOMETHING ELSE ALONG THOSE LINES, BUT, UH OH, IT HAS TO BE ART WITHIN THE LAST, WHAT DID WE SAY, THREE YEARS? THEY CAN'T BRING SOMETHING THEY DID IN, LIKE, SOMETHING I DID 15 YEARS AGO.
I'M NOT GONNA BRING IT IN AND SAY, THIS IS NEW STUFF.
IT HAS HAND PULLED BY THE ARTIST.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
IS THERE ANYTHING I'M MISSING ON THIS? UH, JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, KIND OF WHAT'S YOUR PROJECT PLAN? I SEE WE'VE GOT A FLYER WE KNOW SET UP.
UM, WHAT ARE THE DATES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO OPEN REGISTRATION AND BEGIN TALKING ABOUT IT? AND WHEN WOULD REGISTRATION CLOSE? WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT.
WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT, IS THERE A, A FEE FOR THE ARTIST TO SUBMIT A WHAT? A FEE FOR THE ARTIST TO SUBMIT THEIRS.
THERE IS, IS THERE GENERALLY NO.
I HEARD YOU SAY THERE MIGHT BE A FEE TO VEN YEAH.
I GUESS I HAVE THAT BRINGS A QUESTION TO MY MIND.
IF I HAVE ART PIECES THAT I HAVE ON DONE MYSELF AND THOSE PIECES ARE FOR SALE, DOES THAT REQUIRE VENDING BOOTH OR CAN THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES SELL THEIR OH, DURING THE SHOW? DURING THE SHOW, IF THEY HAVE SOMETHING HANGING IN THE SHOW THAT'S UP TO THE ARTIST AND THE PERSON WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY IT.
AND SO MY, MY ONLY BUILD IS DO WE HAVE TO MAKE THEM PAY A FEE TO VEN LIKE SOME RANDOM, I MAKE 3D PRINTED STUFF AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN EVENT AND I WANNA VEN COOL HERE'S, YOU KNOW, GET SOME SKIN IN THE GAME.
BUT THEY'VE GOT SOME SKIN IN THE GAME.
IF THEY'RE SHOWING, I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THEM THE CHANCE TO SELL FREE OF CHARGE.
THAT'S ME INSTEAD OF CHARGING THE VENDING.
WE'RE NOT CHARGING ANYBODY TO, TO DISPLAY.
MAYBE THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE A VENDING FEE FOR THE ARTISTS WHO ARE COMPETING.
I MEAN, IF SOMEBODY DOES HAVE ARTWORK THAT, OR CRAFT WORK THAT THEY WANNA SELL.
I ASSUME WE'RE GONNA ACCEPT PEOPLE THAT ARE SELLING CRAFTS.
THEY MAKE IT THE, OH, WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
HAVE WE MADE A FORM FOR THE VENDING THING? I DON'T THINK SO.
THIS MAY BE SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SOME MORE BECAUSE WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHT OF
[00:15:01]
THE VENDOR? UH, MOSTLY TO BRING IN SOME INCOMEYEAH, BUT I MEAN, WHAT TYPE OF VENDOR WAS IT? SOMEBODY WHO MADE, THEY MADE POST, UH, MADE LIKE CARDS.
SO YOU WOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE SOMEBODY THAT WOULD THAT'S THEIR ART.
THEIR IF THEIR ART IS ON, BUT IF THEY'RE CROCHETING LITTLE THING, YEAH.
I MEAN WE LIKE, THAT'S NOT A VISUAL ART.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I, BUT IT'S SUCH A FINE LINE BECAUSE THE, THROUGH THEIR ART, THE PERSON WHO DID THE LIKE PAPER QUILLING AND HAD THAT BEAUTIFUL WORK LAST YEAR, I MEAN THAT, THAT'S ART.
BUT SHE ALSO HAD PAPER QUILL CARDS AND, AND IT LIKE CAME ON THE CRAFTY TOO.
AND THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THEN.
BUT YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERING, YOU KNOW, A CROCHETED, YOU KNOW MARIO BROTHER, WHICH THEY SELL AT THE FARMER'S MARKET.
BUT THE, THE QUILLING THING, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO DOES UM, INC.
AND THEN SHE HAND PULLS IT WITH, UH, COLOR AND THEN SHE MAKES CARDS.
AND I MEAN, THAT'S THAT COLOR CRAFT.
IN THAT LIKE THE QUILLING THING.
SHE TEACHES CLASSES AT THE SENIOR CENTER.
I SHE'S LIKE A LOCAL ARTIST I FOLLOW NOW, BUT I, I LOVE QUILTS.
AND I WAS IN, OH, THE QUILTER.
AND I WAS IN, UM, THE FORT BEND COUNTY FAIR.
AND IN OUR VISUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT, QUILTS, QUILTING WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT, UH, AREA IN THE EXHIBIT.
WE HAD VISUAL ARTS, WE HAD QUILTING, WE HAD OTHER THINGS WITHIN THAT BUILDING.
SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU WOULD CONSIDER QUILTING TO BE, IF IT'S, UH, DISPLAYED LIKE A WORK OF ART I GOTCHA.
NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR OR PUT ON YOUR BED, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? OKAY, I GOTCHA.
UH, IT'S, SO THE REQUIREMENT YOU WOULD PUT ON VENDORS IS THAT THEY HAVE TO BE VENDING SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE TO BE ART, POTENTIALLY BE DISPLAYED AS ART.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE, MAKES SENSE.
IT'S NOT GONNA BE OPEN UP TO LIKE A DIRECT SALES TYPE OF VENDOR OR A BUSINESS COMING IN.
IT'S GONNA BE LIKE YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR HANDMADE OBJECT.
HOW ABOUT THAT? THE REASON THAT WE WOULD CHARGE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, CHERYL, SORRY.
A REASON TO CHARGE THE FEE FOR THE VENDING IS ONE, IF THEY'RE SELLING ITEMS AND THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE MONEY, YOU WANNA MAKE MONEY.
UM, YOUR COST RECOVERY GOAL FOR ANY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IS TO TRY TO RECOVER 5% OF YOUR COST.
AND THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THAT IS IF YOU HAVE AN EVENT LIKE THIS, IS TO SELL A TABLE, YOU CAN MAKE AN EASY, YOU CAN FIT AT LEAST 20 TABLES IN CLASSROOMS A AND B AND THAT'S $20 A TABLE.
SO YOU CAN EASILY MAKE YOUR FIVE.
YOU CAN MAKE YOUR 5% BACK IN THAT WAY.
THAT'LL HELP COVER THE COST TOO OF PROVIDING A FREE ART PROJECT FOR THE KIDS WHILE TOO IN THE FRONT ROOM.
AND IF WE HAVE TO, UM, PURCHASE FOOD.
I DON'T THE VENDOR TABLE PEOPLE RULES.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF ARTISTS THAT WE WORK WITH AND THROUGHOUT OUR POPUP SHOPS IN FARMER'S MARKETS.
AND WE COULD DEFINITELY BOOK OUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE CLASSROOMS BE SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU WERE GONNA LOOK UP WHEN WE WANTED TO OPEN UP, UH, REGISTRATION FIRST.
COMMS PUSH WOULD BE, I WOULD THINK WE'D WANT DO AT LEAST TWO MONTHS, BUT THAT IS ON THE TWO.
WANT IT TO OPEN UP? TALK ABOUT A DEADLINE, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS ANYMORE.
I MEAN, IF THIS IS MAY 1ST, I'M SURE WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA, YOU KNOW, IDEALLY GET 'EM IN BY APRIL 15TH, TAX DAY AT, WHICH MEANS FEBRUARY 15TH BY OUR NEXT MEETING WE SHOULD BE OPENING UP REGISTRATION.
THAT'S WHY I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE YEAH, OUR FIRST COMMS PUSH TWO MONTHS.
MIGHT I SUGGEST THAT WE CONSIDER HAVING IT, OPENING IT SOONER SO THAT WE COULD PUT LIKE A LITTLE DISPLAY CARD HERE, HAVE THE UM, DEDICATION CEREMONY ON THE 26TH OF JANUARY.
POSTER OR SOMETHING PEOPLE WILL SEE AS THEY CANWISE.
I CAN PROBABLY, THAT'S F FLYER.
CAN WE ADD THAT TO THE FLYER? THE FLYER? SO MOLLY HAS SAID SHE CAN HAVE A TIMING UP ON, SHE CAN HAVE THIS UP AS EARLY AS MONDAY.
UH, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO GO AHEAD AND GET MOVING WITH, UH, REGISTRATION WITH THE, UH, EVENT DESCRIBED BY MELISSA? SO FAR.
[00:20:01]
IN FAVOR? AYE.I LIKE TO MESS WITH YOU ONCE IN A WHILE,
IS THERE ANY, AT LEAST RIGHT NOW, ANYTHING YOU NEED THE, THE, THE BROADER COMMITTEE TO OR COMMISSION TO, TO VOTE ON TO HELP YOU MAKE A DECISION TO DECIDE ON? IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE THE MOTOR AND FORWARD.
WE ARE, WE'RE JUST VOLUNTEERS PERHAPS.
AND THERE WAS ONE THING I FORGOT TO MENTION AT THIS.
I REQUESTED A TABLE TO MAYBE START OUR OWN ART CLUB IN HUBER HEIGHTS.
SO I WILL LOOK AT ALL MY OLD PAPERWORK FROM THE CLUBS I WAS IN IN HOUSTON AND I WILL TRY TO SET UP A TABLE FOR AN ART CLUB HERE.
EVEN IF IT'S, WE WOULD LIKE TO CREATE AN ART CLUB.
LEAVE YOUR NAME INTEREST AND YEAH, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, EVEN IF WE'RE NOT READY YET TO DO THE THING, STARTING TO COLLECT, THAT WOULD BE A A GREAT IDEA.
THERE, THERE'S PROBABLY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
UM, AND THEN I, NOW THAT, NOW THAT I HAVE THE DATES IN FRONT OF ME, I WILL VOLUNTEER DEFINITELY ON THAT SATURDAY AND I'LL SEE IF I CAN TAKE THAT FRIDAY OFF FOR HELP SO I CAN BE
AND UH, THEN THE ONLY THING THAT I DIDN'T HEAR US CLOSE THE BOOKS ON WERE, UH, SINCE THE SENIORS AREN'T AVAILABLE, DO WE WANT TO TRY AND MANAGE OUR OWN CONCESSIONS OR DO WE WANT TO ASK MOLLY TO SEE IF THERE'S A COMMUNITY GROUP WHO WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THAT ON? OUTSOURCE IT.
I ALSO, ONE OTHER THING IS JUDGES, UH, WE WERE GOING TO FIND JUDGES.
SHE WAS GONNA GIMME SOME NAMES.
I HAVE ON ANY RESPONSIBILITIES ON MY NOTES WAS GETTING VOLUNTEERS DOING, SET SOME CLEANUPS.
I'LL SEND YOU CONTACTS FOR JUDGES.
JUDGES WERE KIND OF REACH OUT TO HIS LOCAL ART TEACHERS, GALLERY OWNERS, ANY COLLEGE ART PROFESSORS HAVING A TABLE OF INTEREST FOR THE ARTIST GROUP.
I COULD ASK, UH, LISA HANSEN, THE CEO OF CULTURE WORKS.
I CAN REACH OUT TO THE ART DEPARTMENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
I THINK I'VE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW THAT I WANNA SAY
YEAH, I WANT TO GET THE, LIKE WE'LL DO THE FINAL LAYOUT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THAT ON.
AND I JUST, I'M THINKING ABOUT LAST YEAR, MY FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY AND THE ART SHOW BEING IN FEBRUARY AND ALL THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAD.
AND I FEEL LIKE WE'RE HAVING THAT SAME LEVEL OF CONVERSATION, BUT NOW WE HAVE SOME MONTHS TO DO IT.
I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE SOME RUNWAY AND CAN, THIS WILL BE NICE.
UH, MOLLY, DID YOU WANNA MENTION SOME OF THOSE? I KNOW THEY WERE INCLUDED IN THE EMAIL OVERALL, BUT ARE YOU STILL LOOKING FOR THEM? DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL UP THE EMAIL? YES, YES, ABSOLUTELY.
UM, I PRINTED IT AND THEN DIDN'T BRING IT
THE SENIOR CITIZENS ARE HAVING A PROM ON MARCH THE SIXTH FROM TO 8:00 PM OH, CHAP RUNS
NOW I WANNA SEE IF WE DO THEY NEED CHAPERONES?
I WAS GONNA SAY THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CASE, BUT YES, I DID REACH OUT TO THE, UM, HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING OR WAS WORKING ON, UM, GETTING THE SENIOR CLASS INVOLVED.
THE SENIOR PROM COMMITTEE INVOLVED IN HELPING OUT WITH THE SENIOR CITIZENS PROM.
SO THE, THE JUNIOR CABINET IS THE ONE THAT PUTS ON THE THE PROM FOR THE SENIORS.
DO YOU HAVE A CONTACT WITH US? YEAH, I CAN GET YOU THAT.
I ALSO SAW SOME ADVERTISING ADS.
IT'S A US SO FAME AND IT'S GONNA SO CUTE.
SO STUFF THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES TO WEAR FOR THAT I HAVE SOMETHING.
SO YOU ASKED ME EARLIER WHAT SHE COULD WEAR.
I WAS LIKE, COME ME WHATEVER YOU COMFORT.
APRIL 4TH IS A STYROFOAM RECYCLING EVENT.
THE STAR SPAND HEIGHTS IS HAPPENING ON JULY 3RD AND FOURTH.
UM, I WILL SAY UNLESS THINGS HAVE CHANGED, WE WON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC LIKE OH ARTIST ROW TO MANAGE OR VENDORS ROW TO MANAGE LIKE WE HAVE IN YEARS PAST.
'CAUSE DUE TO SECURITY CONCERNS, I THINK SARAH WAS REVAMPING THAT.
SO IT WOULD BE GENERAL VOLUNTEERS.
[00:25:04]
HOMECOMING PICNIC ON JULY 18TH, HUBER'S HAPPY HAUNTED TRAIL.COULD YOU SAY WHAT MORE HAUNTED TRAIL IT IS AT COMMUNITY PARK? IT IS THAT, UH, PATH THAT GOES AROUND COMMUNITY PARK.
WE SET UP LITTLE HAUNTED STATIONS AND THE FAMILIES WALK THE TRAIL AND THEY GO THROUGH IT IS A NO SCARE, ALL FUN HALLOWEEN THING, WALKING TRAIL.
SO, UM, WE HAD LAST YEAR WE HAD AN APPLICABLE FOUR ESSAY WALKTHROUGH.
