Open discussion:
Mike presented the logo drawing. He will e-mail a completed version to everyone. The logo will be in red and black. The best he could find was that red and black are semi-associated with 125 years. Jeri moved and Ron second to approve this logo.
Linda presented a sample of what the Backstreet Cruizers use as a sponsor drive form. There was discussion about the 125th using something similar but no final decision was made. Subject is tabled for further discussion.
Linda announced that Sally Bancroft has offered to be the third vice-chair.
Discussion of banners – Jeri was not able to find any available on the internet or otherwise. Mike will look up banner prices from when the City has purchased in the past
Discover Milan Day was discussed – what does the 125th committee want to do to celebrate at this event?
Unearth the time capsule: need to find it in advance and do a ceremonial dig on Discover Milan Day. It is believed to be just behind the memorial in Wilson Park
Create a new time capsule to be dug up in another 25 years. Use this opportunity to raise funds by charging a small fee for placing something in the capsule.
Milan Community Fair Parade was discussed – what does the 125th want to do to celebrate at this event?
Have a float in the parade? Bill and Carole has an old fire engine and old car.
Dig up the time capsule at this time?
Linda will contact Judy Spike to see if she would like to do a puppet show at this time.
Julie suggested contacting the school to perform a play during the unearthing of the time capsule. She will check on the possibility.
Monthly events: We have no updates from any organization
There was a long discussion about a coffee table book: what type, what’s to be in the book, what pictures and when are they taken. Subject has been tabled. Everyone has been asked to consider all possibilities for this idea.
We are looking for a sponsor for the "brother of the brush" celebration. Linda has a person in mind to contact.
Discussion of a September gala event: Subject tabled. Suggested everyone go away and think o f all possibilities for this; tents, music, plays, etc.
Next meeting is scheduled for March 11, 2010 @ 7:00 p.m. in the Old Fire Barn
