Minutes for Meeting held March 8, 2006

 

There were 6 members attending the meeting.

 

Tom opened the meeting by introducing our new vice-president, Scott Remmel from the Campbellsport Inn.

 

Julie presented a rrequest from a reading club asking for funds. Because it is a sizeable amount and we are not an organization designated to help individual clubs it was recommended that this club solicit other service organizations in the village.

 

Promotion and Events. We need a chair person. Jackie will stay on but is looking for are replacement or help with this committee. It was suggested that we contact the people on the promotional list and make it known that we need their help and involvement.

 

It was decided that posted minutes will not be on the web page. Tom will get back to Lois on how this change will take place.

 

It was decided that committee meetings should take place outside of the monthly meeting. At the monthly meeting the committee chairs should report on what their committee has been doing and what they suggest in the future. This will eliminate all of the excess discussion at the monthly meetings.

 

It was advised that a second notice be sent out for memberships. After that if no contact, than a phone call is in order.

 

Julie reported that the Chamber is in good financial order.

 

A discussion was held on putting up 3 new signs upon entering the village limits. Dean said these signs will be costly and that the time to put in the extra utilities for the sign on the south side should be considered. It would be less costly to do it now than when everything else is done on the pump house that has been recently erected. It was mentioned that maybe the Lions organization may be able to help out financially.

 

The Rails to Trails should be finished this summer. Parking and information centers are still not in place. The county is responsible for the maintenance. The Village is not responsible for the liability. Dean will be getting more information.

 

Lois reported that she delivered 4 welcome baskets and that the recipients were very pleased. She is also getting more items for the baskets and she is trying to get to each business and ask if there is anything the Chamber can help them with.

 

The next meeting was discussed but no arrangements have been decided.
