On a related matter, Lynn Koglin stated that he went to two other groups – the Revitalization Board and the Historic Preservation Committee (HPC) – to present our plans for a new building and the development of the foundation. There was some discussion about the best location for the new building, and the HPC would like to have input in the process. Both groups were supportive and will share ideas back and forth. Lynn Koglin plans to speak with the Planning Commission and Jennifer Strand will speak with the Cultural Council. C.Membership, Fundraising, and Events: There were 75 new paid memberships received in 2012 and 11 Business Sponsorships have been renewed.
