Historical Commission Minutes April 17, 2013 Page 3 of 3 1. Dan Mellish reported that the flyer we included in the Chamber of Commerce brochure already yielded results. Great Western Bank, a past sponsor, has joined again as a Business Sponsor for 2013. 2. On the subject of renewals, Bridget noted that membership renewal reminders go out in November. About 75% renew at this time. A second letter will go out soon to the 25% who have not yet renewed for 2013. LHC members will call or email those who do not respond to this letter, and several members indicated they would be willing to do this. There are currently approximately 600 paying members of which about 400 have been asked to renew for 2013. 3. The LHC will make pizzelles in front of the Museum during the Taste of Louisville on Saturday, June 1. Paula Elrod volunteered to take over from Pat Seader, who will be absent. Commission members are needed to be on hand for the Museum open house. Gladys Levis‐ Pilz volunteered for the first shift (10‐12:30) and Anne Robinson and Marilyn Hunt volunteered for the second shift (12:30‐3:00). E. Discussion/Approval of projects and expenses 1. The LHC will have a booth at the Street Faire on June 21, 2013. This is a change from the original date that was planned. Lynn Koglin is in charge of the booth, but other LHC members are welcome to help. The LHC approved the purchase of 10 pounds of root beer barrels from Assorted, the candy store on Front Street. The cost is between $6.00 and $7.00 per pound. Gladys Levis‐Pilz will order the candy. 2. The LHC decided to pursue obtaining a raffle license, or requesting that the Elks use its license, to raffle off the watercolor painting of the Museum donated by Connie Quigg. The suggestion was made that the raffle tickets be $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. The painting could be on display at the Museum with a copy to be shown at various public functions beginning with the Taste of Louisville. Marilyn Hunt offered to photograph the painting. The drawing could be held during the Labor Day celebration at Community Park. Bridget Bacon will ask the artist if the Commission may also make cards to use and sell at the Museum. Anne Robinson requested that a budget for the raffle that would include the cost of printing raffle tickets and of making a copy for display outdoors be presented at the next meeting. 3. The LHC discussed the “How Well do you Know Louisville” pamphlet. The final revision was presented. The new URL will be added. The LHC voted to purchase 5,000 copies of the pamphlet for $387. 4. Dan Mellish purchased and donated a new URL to the LHC. It is www.HistoricLouisvilleCO.org. People going to this URL will be redirected to the Museum web pages at the Library website. The URL will be included in the Louisville pamphlet. 5. Bridget Bacon told the LHC about the new Tuesday evening event being organized by Commission member Andrew Williams called “Buona Sera.” It is to be held in the Steinbaugh Pavilion parking area from June 4 through October 15. Andy mentioned that he is looking for volunteers from the LHC to sell tickets with the idea that the LHC would benefit from the proceeds. Dan Mellish stated that he will seek more information on this event and the proposal. F. Commission Comments and Discussion Items for Next Meeting: nothing further. G. Close Fundraising Board Meeting and Adjourn: The meeting was adjourned at 8:15PM.
