A new list of board members including their titles and end of term date will be typed up for the next meeting. They would like this also to include staff members titles and numbers and the gift shop manager. As a result of going over the Art Center Guide Lines, Jim VanValkenburg will rework them and have them ready for approval at the next meeting. The Gift Shop The gift shop is completed and all agree it looks wonderfull. Mollie Paulson already has started arranging it and will add a few special things for the Holiday season. Mollie told of the very successfull meeting and lunch she held last week with 10 of her volunteers and the staff. She went over the accomplishments so far and talked of what she would like to accomplish in the future. She talked of: trying to keep it open more hours, including an evening, from now until Christmas, puting up posters in various places, the need for a small desk or counter, and of possibly placing a classified add in the Sun Newspaper. It was decided that she will work with Jean Adams and place an ad possibly in the Boutique section. Mollie says sales are definitly picking up and that she feels the shop has great potential. Pat Greer asked about now putting some of the black and white prints of the woodblock we gave to members in the gift shop. It was decided to do this, however, a price was not settled on. The dedication of the gift shop will be during Kay Sharkey Schlosser's opening on Dec. 4th at 3:30. It was decided that a note card inviting people to the dedication would be placed inside the invitation to the opening of Kay's show. A motion was made to call the new gift shop the Clark Gallery Gift Shop and to place a plaque there. The motion was seconded and carried. Committee Reports Phyllis Haywa reported that the Jan. show will feature Jerry Amon's amd Betty Anderson's watercolors. Donna Skagerberg said don't send fund raising letters to organizations that are also asking for money. Sharon Hale passed out copies of the fund raising letter. She asked each to take at least 25 and send them to friends who may contribute to the Center. A return envelope should be enclosed. Jim VanValkenburg said we should have a new entrance by the pool parking lot by June. Carol Bermel asked about the scroll stating names of our contributors. She was told that Mary Dvorak, staff member, is doing one in calligraphy. THERE WILL BE NO DECEMBER MEETING. - In it's place, there will be a Christmas Party at Carol Bermel's.
