Historical Commission Minutes September 3, 2014 Page 3 of 4 B. John Gstalder offered to donate the Old Louisville Inn neon sign from the 1970's to the museum. LHC members decided that at 10'x5'x1' it is too large to accept because there is not space at the Museum to store it. C. Museum Coordinator's report: There will be a Brown Bag lunch about the making of the Louisville replica presented by Dick DelPizzo on September 4, 2014 at noon at the Library. D. A preview of the replica will be held from 5 -7PM on Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Bridget will invite past members of the LHC, current members of the LHC, the City Council, the LHPC, and others to the preview. The replica will be available for public viewing from 3 -8PM on Friday, October 3, 2014 as part of the First Friday Art Walk. E. As part of the planning for the Museum Master Plan: 1. Bridget will organize a tour of the Louisville History Museum and campus to update LHC members on Museum facilities before the needs assessment process begins and 2. Interested members of the LHC will tour a local museum (e.g., Golden, Longmont, Littleton, etc.) to get ideas. Anne Robinson will organize the tour. The firm conducting the needs assessment will come to Louisville sometime in October, so these activities need to be completed before then. VIII. Chairperson's Report: DM reported A. The Volunteer Appreciation Event, with about 54 people in attendance, was a great success. DM thanked Bridget for arranging the event. B. La Festa was great, particularly the bocce tournament. The bocce "field" was filled within 5 minutes. IX.
