MINUTES TAKEN BY KATHI COPELAND
Artistic Committee:
Nothing to announce
Jennifer Wilson: What exactly does the Artistic Committee so and how do they make decisions?
Padraic: There are 3 people, We do all the programming, we are elected and have a one year term. Submissions have to come from a company member or have a company member attached.
House:
Brandon: I want to tank everyone for signing up this cycle. We need someone Tuesday night. Everyone needs to do 2 house shifts a cycle for membership requirements in a 6 month term. You do not need to be a member to sign up to work house.
Facilities:
Lou: Bathroom problem needs to be done by a proper plumber. Sink is leaking. He has contacted Adam about it and hasn't heard back yet. The bucket under it is a band-aid solution for now.
Literary:
There is a reading of Opening Night by Jenelle Riley following the meeting
Marketing:
Mike Lanahan: Tenaya Cleveland went to a great marketing meeting for us. I am going to get together with her and discuss what she learned at that meeting. For [sic] we tried some new strategies like not sending out postcards and instead placing ads in the Times and the Weekly. We also subscribed to Webtix and Goldstar and have been getting houses through both. We have a checklist that tells us exactly how everyone is learning about the shows. We took some risks and I encourage all producers in the future to try this. I got some great emails and thoughts about marketing from Brandon, Kathi, Julie, Paul, Becky and we have put some into effect and we will meet and brainstorm later on Tenaya's info and all your great input. Thanks.
Publicity:
Phil: We have press coming Sat. to [Sic] There's also a review on radio. Tuesday on kxla 7=8
There's a lovely review of "Underneath the Lintel" www.lively-arts.com
Development Director:
Julie: I don't really have anything. I have nothing on 360 and I forgot the Ralph's card stuff...
We made about 220 or so at the garage sale. I met someone socially, a friend of Kara Leigh's , who used to work at
the "Lookingglass Theatre" in Chg.. He said we really need to build our private donation list. We need to do targeted mailing where we would get a 5% return vs. 1% on mass mailings. So send to all your family and friends. They may give 25 now and 50 next year or at Christmas. I can give you a template or email it to you or you can give me their names.
Membership Committee:
We finally made a brochure (explaining membership to new folks). They pass it around. We now have 36 members. It's something we can give to new members and potential new members. We can hand it to people who come to meetings or participate in shows.
Literary:
Meredith: If you want to have a reading contact me.
Andy adds we need paper for the copier can anyone procure any?
Underneath the Lintel:
Brandon: Thanks to everyone for coming to see the show. The feedback was overwhelming and more than I could have ever asked for. Thank you.

We may have a reviewer coming Sat. Night. We are still accepting pieces for week 4 and they must be in by Tuesday at the latest.
Dubya 2004:
