 Yeah, it's a good idea. Yeah, it's a good idea. Perfect. Everyone is here. That's the good news. Approval of the agenda. We worked so hard. So we did. Anybody have comments? We have a request. Yes. What do you all think about number five? Discuss items from packet updates. It seems to be irrelevant for our business. It does a little bit. It does a little bit. I'm worried about that. Sometimes it's usually something that's listed within. They're happening a couple of times when it's not been, but typically it is something that's listed. So we just... What was it? It's number five. It just doesn't ever... I mean, when we have packet attachments, they're gone. And if not, they can be discussed under items from staff. Yeah. And it seems to us when we're approving the agenda, we would discuss any packet updates with them. I think it doesn't have to be there. Yeah, can we just remove that? That's fine. Yeah. Let's see. Yeah. I make a motion that we remove item number five and just shift items from the agenda forward to the agenda right here. Can I get a second? Second. I'll motion favor. Oppose? Okay, that's approved. I have another suggestion related to that. I had been doing roll call slash approval of agenda. Then I got separated out again. So I don't know what the better way he is. It just seems like approval of agenda is just a minor little thing. Yeah, well, I separated it out because it was kind of getting missed to officially approve the agenda. Okay. So that was why I separated out because we were supposed to be doing that. So big deal. Just two separate things. Yeah, it started that way. Yeah. Okay. I just want to do as it is. Okay. Approve about the previous month's minutes. Anybody have any comments? I thought they looked great. Yeah, me too. No, I didn't do them. I know. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Go out with a bang. Anybody? I'll get an emotion. Approved. Almost in favor. Anyone opposed? Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Yes. Thank you, Candice, for doing that. Yeah, thank you. What was he for? We could go Monday. Yeah. By the way. What did you say? Wait. Wait. She's telling us about. She's telling us about the world. The world. Wow. Wait. Wait. I wanted to bring him. Maybe next month. Okay. We heard we don't have any publics so we can scratch that. We don't have item number five anymore. We'll go right directly to old business. The digitized scrapbook. How are we coming? The first scrapbook is digitized. Wow. I should say it's scanned. It's scanned. So then the next step is to go through the process of making it accessible and getting it posted and all that. So we want to go through the full process of the original scrapbook. And when I say original, it's the kind of redone but it's the early years count hand. So not the one from 1938. It's the smaller early years one. So it's been all scanned. It was actually a really easy process. I think it's like a one to two person job. So we kind of think about setting up ships for that. Once we go through the whole process of this one and just make sure that it is doable for all of them moving forward. I think that should be. You're going to take a regular size one now to do it. I wasn't getting it. You did a smaller one. It's a thinner one. And also speaking of the size, it was able to reach 12 by 12. So that's nice. So nothing had to be cut off. So yeah, that's exciting. But that was kind of an easy part to be honest. We're going to put it on the script, like a scripted thing. What was it? It's meant to be on the website. You don't have to download it. You can actually just be on there. Is it linked to it? It's there. It actually exists there. You just look at pages. And we also, you can also download it too. Well nice. Thank you. I'm sorry that I wanted to come better from my schedule. No, I think it actually worked out well for me just to do the first one. So I could learn the process. How's that on? Well, no. To work on the extra opinions. That's common too. But that really was the easy part. I think the harder part will be making it accessible and getting on the website. But we'll go through that and then we'll do the rest of it. I'm very upset. So are you going to just self-schedule? Yeah, I think, well, my plan was to go through the process of getting this one completely dusted all the way through the process. Yeah. So we go with that website and then pass that on to you all to do the rest. So maybe you said just good things. Yeah. I think once I figure out the rest of the process for this one and then we can set up a schedule to have you all do the scanning. So there's not a big rush of pieces. No, but we've started the process. This is huge. It looks good. And it's nice that the scanning actually works too. And it's a really, like, dense suggestion to be able to just pull up and look at it. Yeah. Yeah. So people will do that. As we do the books, are we going to consider submitting these developments to be stored in the library? I mean, in the... Yeah. I kind of initiated that we were interested in that with Elizabeth, who's the new director of history there. So that's something we can do to look into and see what's appropriate for them to keep there. And you know what we already have? Archive? I don't. I know there are items there. I know it's on there. Yeah. We have, there are a lot of photos that are in archives. There are a lot of newspaper articles. In the archives. It has created content. You know, it's rather, well, there are some negatives in archives. And then for photos that are not negatives, they are electronical scans. Those are now part of that as well. So like the picture of Main Street where the old store was that's electronically in there. My question, I guess, is are those things that Eric archived regarding Callian House or are those things that the Callian Board gave to them to archive? Yeah. I think it's a mixture of both. There are things that's clear that it came from someone from Callian from the board. And there are others that are common that could have been pulled from time's call, love times. That's what is there. It seems like one of the source material for the scrapbooks, the actual original, is going to be in archives and some of the things in there are copies of all of the very first open house. The original is in the scrapbook. And the museum does not have articles. But yeah. Okay, so do we have to start with some, you know, applying to submit to archive these items into the I'm not sure about the process, but Elizabeth is the one that you have connected us to. So certainly aware of the project. Yeah, you might want to just double-check the process as I understand it to me from what Eric explained it to me is that we would submit to form then. That says what the items are. And that then gets put before the museum board. And they determine along with the help of the curator what if any of that content is already in the archives and then what that's remaining if any of it they think is important enough that it should be. So they kind of make that determination. Yeah. Okay, any other questions on the next slide? Okay, we will move on to the damage day program. Would you like to report on that? It's very well. All the ladies really enjoyed it. Maureen dressed up, which was wonderful. Oh, I'm so glad you did that. And yes, they all appreciate all the content and lots of fun buzz afterward and they'll move on for people. I did put that out time to Yeah. They did a very nice job. Oh good. I forgot to go. The kitchen on the jam is a 10-5 bingo. Oops. Just a little side note about revifications of it. Deborah you can't pass away Debbie Stafford. Her mom was Carolyn Stafford. Yes, exactly. And the reason they're having a memorial here is because Lori Flanders who was instrumental in setting it up was at PEO that morning and and Deb grew up here and her mom was a PEO member and so on and so on and it was like the light bulb went off in her head when this happened. So this is where the fitting place was but we have their wedding reception here also. Exactly. Is she a member of the PEO's connection? Deb, I don't think she was a member of my chapter. Well, Debbie was. She was a non-member, no resident. Oh, I know Carolyn was but I didn't know Debbie was. The only comment I when I went to PEO Monday night and asked what you guys think of the programs I want to hear from them. They loved it but they said that a long time they couldn't hear. I don't know if it was a set up from that microphone to what they said was tough to hear. So I did hear a request that maybe more pictures aren't included but they're interested in seeing more pictures. Well, then maybe that happened to the camera. I'd be interested to hear what pictures there's looking for because pictures that were included are not that comprehensive. I definitely could. But hearing feedback is really good. Yeah. But trying to keep to that 30 minute right at the top was like okay, I need to capture the overall. And I have to compliment Karen for the amazing job and all the history of it. She sure was tough. Oh, yeah. Okay. Excuse me. Before we move on. Karen did take some pictures with EDK and some other things that I think we should do. I'm sure you've got you're going to add into everything as the historian of the video. If we want that included in the scrapbook we can. Yeah, that's good. I think that's good. That was the group. It's included can be as a member of their EDK also as a member there. I think it's important that it also shows our outreach into the community and it's in the documentation. So I'm sorry to stop. That's great. What is the process for the process for updating the scrapbooks going forward? Do you do that on any basis or is it existing throughout the years and is that an easy approach? Yeah. Okay. Are you a head of committee for that? That's my job as a historian. Anyone is interested in helping I'm all for an additional extra hands and hands that should be so I guess I'm just reaching out when you what works for you for the process? Well, if that or we can work on it. Yeah, it's out of work. I could do that just to touch base with everyone and say hi, I'm planning to do update the house Yeah. Moving on. I can see updated video. So I don't have anything to review but I do have an update at least. So hopefully by next month they'll be like actually what's going to be going out to anybody that wants to or anybody we're going to ask for a quote from. So I went through the process with Pam who orchestrated some of this within the city and it's actually going to be fairly simple, basically we don't have to go through a whole bidding process but we need to get three quotes still from some other potentially interested parties and basically we just let them know here's what we want and just as long as we provide the same information to everybody in the process. So probably have that Do we know when that's going to be released? I think it can be I mean we can I can do that anytime as soon as I have the time which now it's kind of right on the cusp of having that ready to go. I was reached out back out too because one of the issues was my daughter obviously and her partner and is they would we're considering like working on videos on the interior so they're not impeding with wedding schedules and stuff like that that would be something if they're going to do it if they're chosen. That's one of those things that Yeah. Have it ready to be ready to explore being and say yeah So they were asking me what the date was and I said I haven't heard Well, it's early March Early March. Thank you. Excellent. So we can talk about that with me. Okay. Any other questions about that? We'll move on to the Item D Club Affair for a meeting tomorrow. We do have a meeting scheduled from 11 to 1 I believe was refreshed by remembering why did we schedule it at 11? Initially because I didn't really have questions on that day but we could actually move it forward because the questions was last week. So how does everyone feel about that? Are we doing just the three of us? Well, I now because I cancelled that. So it includes all of us there. All of us? That's what I thought. I have a study from 9.30 to 10.30. Okay. So 10.30 I can get here by 10.30 ish. 10.30? Nope. Just not going to be there. Okay. You can dodge out of something. I was going to say I have to ask exactly. I think you should. I'll pass definitely. 10.30. 10.30 tomorrow. And excuse me. So what I was going to suggest that we all come with in our heads is first of all clubs, organizations that we've thought about inviting that we also come with out of the box thinking about how we use not just the house but in August it should be nice outside and if the possibility exists so we can choose the outside exterior gardens and the carriage house that expands our number of people that we can reach out to as far as clubs are concerned and groups are concerned. It doesn't have to be a club so to speak like the symphony orchestra. I mean think in terms of what are the groups that we approach and this is a two fold thing we not only have to find groups that want to participate as our fundraiser but then we have to find and get the public here to participate. So it's a two strong thing to do. So keep that in mind and kind of think outside of the box about what groups can we have the symphony playing in the gardens can we have playing here or painters out there can we have dancing groups can we have theater companies what can we do. Okay. I think we had talked about August 17th or something as a date and the reason I asked is because if it is going to be a larger event with public wanting to have the well I guess does that fall right on the cusp of the brochure then might that go in the next brochure the date is August 17th Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this would be for the next brochure so we don't have to have it set for for very early but you could do the same thing in there. Okay. Let's do that just because it might depend on room. Right. Because we have other things to Okay. If you stick with the same date Okay. Is that date firm though I guess is the question that they ask and the summer brochure that goes through July where the save the date would go would be I hate it by Friday. Well, so we have that date it's not just like a time or I guess Tuesday and it's not sure I have any weddings or something that are competing. Well, I mean we would just keep that and see. Well, it's a Sunday but not on time. August 17th. So that is a Saturday but I mean we'll just book a wedding but I think that was the date that we talked about. Are you worried that that might be an issue? Do we need to back up to the 16th of Friday? I think let's do it on a day that feels like what people would attend so Sunday Saturday is more like Saturday. I think the Saturday is the best choice and I think just blocking that with Saturday and not having a wedding Saturday is acceptable. Let's move on again. There's a quarterly recreation or season three times a year. Oh. Winter, spring, summer and fall. Winter, spring is one thing. Okay. That's awesome that we can reach. Yeah, it's far reaching. So it would be going in the summer but potentially it's yeah, save the date in the summer one that talks about stuff through I think it's good turning with school starting and everybody going, I think that would be a great Saturday. I think we yes, I know we could lose revenue but Saturday is the best time and I honestly think it's a perfect date for the 17th but just false timing wise really well. Is this event something that potentially brings in revenue of the event itself or just the potential of we're hoping that it will be revenue making? Right. Generating because they would have to pay for their booth, their table, their space whatever. So we'll have to also set those. Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah, so if we can have a date. Well, typically it's like date time. Yeah, I guess just a date would be enough for a save the date. Yeah, I was going to say for the save the date. All you're doing is save the date. Yeah, it's August 17th at the Callaghan House Club A there. So that more details to come. It's a permanent date. I think we could potentially get a save the date in the summer brochure and then we'll have a bigger blurb on it in the next one. I think it's August 17th at the permanent not as permanent but as the date for this this year's event for the club affair. I think we'll need our didn't do that. That's why it's in the minutes. That was that. Didn't we are we kind of I know we can talk about it in the minutes. So that will be Hill's August. Recall that. The table. It is here. I think it's great because it hits everybody's right as they're going out into the fall. It would hit the concerts or anything that people want to promote on their own. It will be possible to also get a blurb on the city utility on the city line. I mean those are lovely. It's about two months in advance for the show. Yeah. We can advertise it there. And the more people that see it get it on the calendar. Okay. Any other questions on club affair? So you don't want to annual reports? Does anybody have anything to add? Or is it a track? We're waiting on where the final number is. Which is finalized if it was approved. And I'll let you do it in signature. Right. Last thing I thought of that may be a good thing to include in an annual report is identification of officers. Obviously the chairperson is clear because that's the person who just floated. For purposes of an annual report you just identify here are the board members and you can even just put it next to the name. Candice shy secretary. You know. I think it's a simple enough inclusion. It will take another line and you just slip it in right behind there and let the name. So behind the chair. Is historian. Candice shy secretary and councilman. Chairperson. I think it would be appropriate. Anybody else have a comment? Do we need a motion? No. That's a scary order. Is that finalized? Yes. What is the last year or what is the process then for you know that this gets submitted to be part of the council's it's submitted and then presented. You all presented last year right? No. But it should be. You're thinking well I think it's up to them. It's up to them. That goes into their packet. Right. That's what happened with their packet. So the whole point is to also this brings attention to our board and it also promotes us for anybody that's watching it that people might want to participate in this board. So it's a dual purpose of why we would want it before council. We can become more visible and they can ask questions. It's important. It would be nice if council. We can also those questions to council. And they can ask questions of us. They can ask questions of us. So I remember they can ask a question of us on their part of the interaction. Okay anything else on the annual report? We'll move on to House Inventory. That was kind of interesting. I think it's interesting. I think it's interesting. Well thank you all very much for participating in that. I think the idea was to set another date. Do we not have one already set for next month? Or was that tentative? I don't think we set anything. I think we did. I think we talked about setting a date at this meeting to finish that. Betsy and Jacqueline were also working on some of it last week. We thought they were sponsoring the linens and things like that that they wanted to do. I think it's interesting. It's a little more intensive. I obviously jumped ahead in my purchase. It's not in the minutes. I think we were going to set one today. Okay. Is there a suggestion for what date works best for you? Wednesdays we have clubs in the house. So probably not Wednesday. Unless there's a fifth Wednesday so I'll just look at the calendar. But Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. It's typically more open. I mean, do we want to look as soon as possible? I think we do. Just to get it conveyed. Yeah. So next week we're out on Monday. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They don't have the clubs. They have clubs. Yeah. So Tuesday, Wednesday clubs. Thursday. Thursday there's potential. Friday is pretty open. 22nd or 23rd. Or we can look to you next week. I could do the 22nd. Yeah. I'm not all week. I could do the 26th. You mentioned that too. The 22nd? 26th. It's a Monday. That looks fine. I could do that. That would be good. I might be able to open until 10. 1030. Would you be starting? You're available before 1030? Yeah. 839. 830? Oh, I can't do 830. No, I got it. I got physical. I think 9 is fine. And if that doesn't work, we appreciate the help. But it's not good. Certainly not. Yeah. Thank you. You're right. I have a question regarding mom's picture. Specifically, I asked her, I took a picture of the art that's in the manager's office. She said that's not it. She said it's a smaller print. It's a painting. And she did this. So sizing that we're looking for is something like this. Six inches. Like this in the back of you know, whatever in the background of if they ever got a picture of it while trying to get her mom's home. Additional storage cases also. I mean, you know, prior to this and having a family thing. But do you have any chance to go packing with Christmas stuff at some point? I mean, all the Christmas stuff just got brought out. I have spent four Christmas around for it. It's something that will walk off. At some point, cups and other things were in a way. Why would a photo It's not a photo. It's a picture. Oh, it might not have been being used. It's not being used. Yeah, and we don't need it. And so it was, you know, a kind of item. We can look back through the if we see from talking to I'm sorry you're asking from talking to when we had the managers team. I was discussing with Leslie and it used to hang on the wall right up above the stairs right outside the office. So maybe looking pictures maybe in that area to see if we could find it. Yeah, it would be worth looking but I don't. Because when I talked to Leslie and she knew exactly where it was. But where she's describing it was is what was there and it was recently prior to the artwork we did to that. Office of the chair's house. Do you know, maybe I can I'll check back in the UK and see if she can. And again, she might be referencing a different painting but I said who it was donated by I said who it was painted by and she recalls in her mind that's where it was and she was very, very specific. And the one I've never met was that she's really pretty on top of stuff. Was EDK the one that donated it? It was her mother's. Yes, EDK. And what's that? E-D-I-E-D-Y Two words. E-D-I-E-D-Y Well, EDK Well, EDK It's a Y. It's a Y. It's a Y. Okay. It's okay, you wanted to make sure what we're saying correctly. So, not Eddie? Not Eddie. Okay, let's move on to the piano search. I'm interested here. Where we are with this. Well, basically update from the last one that we had seen which was the Columbine Yeah, it was the September that Cindy and Rory and I went to see is we reached out to Fred Goheen who is our piano expert that helped with the restoration of and now maintains the Steinway to just get his opinion on the whole thing and his opinion on that one specifically which we also kind of shared is that the wood wasn't really properly maintained it was a little bit dried out actually a lot and what we really wanted to record was on it's already been our story so he is in the business of that and is searching for one for us it is also great to be able to look so if that was a concern when I was pointing out the crackling of the varnish and some things on that note it is something that has actually been come to me so I hope so so I think that's one of those things that I'm concerned about the other question is why is it would we not move Alice's piano back? Oh my gosh no no you don't just have to move the Steinway I know you know I know you wouldn't I don't the question is do we need another piano or do we put Alice's piano back back where it was why was it going to be easier to get one now they had to pay for it to be moved into the house just to form more of that that events and club stuff and resettles and stuff upstairs how we have that's my understanding wasn't here when that was moved but that's from my research that's the reason yeah so I'm trying to be a reason you know reason they were like okay we've got to move it upstairs wow so they were pianists that taught lessons here in Monmont and their recitals were always upstairs yeah that makes sense well that that's another um speaking which I just I had a professional pianist um that just did a concert for our um cluster group and amazing that I mean that's another thing that we could reach out for possibly getting people into perfect music that's but so I know um I wasn't just I wasn't sure why it was moved originally and if we're looking to replace it for the music room why wouldn't we have it here I just didn't I didn't understand the logic but why it was moving that was it yeah I mean we don't necessarily need a second piano they're not being used that regularly my thought about it is you know the music room should have the musical instrument of some kind whether that's the sound you know something else and to in general look for pieces to furniture and whatnot for the house that are very appropriate and it could also be something that could be played um if we have someone playing you know classical music or something so do you get used to some not on a very regular basis but so I mean like background music yeah then it comes down to do we need two pianos or do we consider just moving analysis being held back to the music room my god told me that would not be worth it yeah every just except trying to get that cost more cost us more than us getting a piano getting that from up there down to here everything a boy would take I think I mean just not that tells me that that it would be easier for us to just be patient and Fred did feel that we would be able to find something that we're looking for if we are in any washrooms or not um there's like I just was rolling around the whole idea in my head of if we already have one I don't know many places need two pianos that's my only thought process yeah it's just like we're on board we're set out that we set out to look for one it just kind was so the biggest thing that we needed to identify is if something that popped up seemed right was the dimensions which I think we've identified right the dimensions are two feet deep six feet wide and five feet high so as long as we know that and know the period that we're looking for and we know you know the quality that we're looking for then it's just a matter of waiting we're not going to be hurrying you know it's just you know something pops up and it's ideal and perfect and it's like all right and it's really nice to have Fred on the ball yeah yeah he can save us a lot of trouble right I mean there's no hurry for any would you send me Fred's information service he still Fred himself is retired and he will look after our piano math is the one that's oh but also new company information that's don't worry you know but yeah I mean it is worth you know bringing that up morning like no we don't necessarily need two pianos the thought is to have items in the house that are very appropriate and time music needs to grow but and you know there are a lot of pianos out there there are a lot of room for free we may have trouble finding someone who's interested in taking this one out and paying to move out yeah so that's a consideration also is we're gonna pay to move a restored one in and we can't find somebody to take this one we might be paying to move it out to be yeah donated if anybody wants it as a donation so yeah it's another consideration so something to think about but for just moving it out if we get to that point we might want to check call what do you think got junk they move and take everything so I don't know what they would charge to do that yeah they are very careful uh so they would not be well that's really good and I I say shades of conversation it's just I it came to mind and I'm thinking yeah we already have a three-piece hit I think you know I had been looking at the picture and saying oh it'd be nice if we have one that looks like this when we have the one upstairs yeah so it was just a thought process and I appreciate the input on it again um yeah well potentially the cost of moving this one out and moving a new one in it's moving two pianos I don't know if I could kind of be the same cost as moving this thing like down or I this but it's really yeah I highly doubt it regardless moving that piano out it wouldn't hurt to ask the person that takes care of it because he's the one that's refurbished it and taking care of it and knows all about it we're kind of novices in this aspect they wouldn't hurt to ask and that I'm thinking is if it's moved up scares because someone can do recitals and move to the space that's if we're trying to get more people to club affair to do these things well it's like yeah we kind of need to be there yeah okay okay I'm in agreement though yeah okay I again it was just a table right okay we're moving on uh item h that one in house membership program um so there's a a short blur but the back of the packet here just kind of outlining an initial um framework or we'll potentially want to take this so yeah it what do you discuss it's just something okay um it's my mindset that this would be something that we would like to have in place prior to the to the club affair so we have it in place so people come in this is an additional thing that we can sign off for yeah so this is an initial framework so it's just something that we should take home and like just and think about and some thoughts on to this and then yeah I should I'll bring it back to you next month's maybe sure it was in the packets so that hopefully it was generating some ideas to bring today but if we need more time to is there be someone you would like to avoid using friends because the friends program already exists and we're decided that we don't want to set it up as a friends of program because that requires an additional board who controls finances I don't think it does require additional board I think the implication is there so I think it's it's good if we do you can call it whatever you want but if we could have the city framework the friends friends kind of a money thing that that's what it is that's what it is that's how it's set up with the city currently we're going to see that term used just something different so let's get our bars and check out every word for friends yeah chat amp t that was spain's day yesterday for mission and vision that AI online type something in mission and vision parameters for recreation because we filter filter filter and try to actually make decisions and then let you throw it in there and it will spit something out that's more clever more eloquent and then you just make to that it's really interesting um yeah I've been using that um my husband surprised me with a Valentine's Day present of going to Ireland for two weeks and I've been using the talent when the trip yeah it's it's something else yeah so what I might ask everyone would be willing to do is take a look out and um to sourcing options as far as um grants and take a look and see what grant applications are asking for specifically for example for history Colorado they wanted to know what community contribution on the clubs um or who were using the house provided and so so there are going to be some specific highlights that organizations who are granting funding are looking to support let's see if we can encompass the city of those as possible in around Clover uh I'm talking about this club membership because well this is not going to be a club this is not this is not this is like this is what I'm thinking club selection criteria so I'm a little ahead of myself sorry but I was thinking yeah well yeah that's that's a different line is there any specific specific people that you want to so you're saying you confuse the line item yes I'm actually ahead of us because I was okay tying into club selection criteria which is not this this is this is the supporters yeah this is the membership program we're going to give you a complete sense of what you're saying that the last applications are looking for that a partnership that right it's still valid it's still my you have information in regards to historic Colorado are you wanting us to take on somebody else like I think everyone should I would work at SEFD really easily and quickly do that is there any did we want to just all work on this and come back next month with ideas is that we're talking about the club selection criteria no it's the Callahan we're looking at the over we can find a couple of things but yes we moved it back to the Callahan Council membership program okay and then we're talking about the potential organizations that we're looking for potential somehow we should frame this so we get more grand opportunities but then we have about the organizations what is that what specifically are we getting from our organization well there may be companies looking to help support okay so looking for potential partners friends whatever in terms of companies organizations and what what they're looking for because that is something you can all right so we're going to take this home and work on just working progress working progress okay that's the end of old business yeah it went really well we had so there were 36 tickets sold we had 35 people in attendance so one person they couldn't join but um yeah so everybody was from one to four this past Sunday and Betsy was here to help with that so I appreciated that we came and had tea and snacks we had shamanes um heavily discount some food for us so that was much appreciated so that we could you know still make some money on the event um shamanes shamanes uh big shock people there they had catered the uh not catered but they provided the food for the board to you that we had which was very nice yeah so that worked out well how do you spell that shamanes and we had crafting valentine crafting supplies upstairs and I did like a little history of valentine's day in europe and america those things samples of collage valentines and everybody seemed to have a good time I sent out a survey yesterday haven't heard anything back yet but hopefully people will have favorable feedback feedback or constructive feedback you just jumped what's that were any photos taken of anything like the time few photos yeah we were kind of um running around in the beginning up until it opened until time but we got I got some photos of the upstairs room full with people um making valentine's and a few people at tea and nice okay way to participate or jump in anticipate what I was going to ask this I was like what was the feedback on it because it sounds very exciting yeah yeah hopefully we get constructive work and we're positively back it sounds lovely okay now we're gonna move on to the business um the auto house review um so yeah that's just encompassing um some potential storage for tables and chairs in the auto house and also just a little bit of an update and I'll keep the kitchenette and bathroom area I could use a few things to be a little bit more updated and well I say updated but really it's like okay making a period appropriate okay yeah I was going to say not looking updated but in a big size yeah in a big size better yeah um yeah could could could be listed as as restore or renovation rather than revamp yeah well revamp is there because it's not meant to be like a large overhaul restoration or um it's more a few little things to and I can make it seem a little more uh yeah and and up the old I'm not sure when to bring this up but this is part of the one of the things that we talked about when we were discussing the revamp is for storage for tables and chairs do we really want to be purchasing tables and chairs or do we want to continue the practice of not of renting the chairs and then we don't have to do the maintenance on that and we still we still make revenue off of that because there's a well tables and chairs we're trying to we're trying to go into industry standards and stick with their folks are doing so that when people are trying to compare place to place option to option um that they have a fair comparison and it shows us to be that way yeah so we need to have that as part of our inclusions just in terms of stately friends exactly said staying current with other venues um and also the revenue the net revenue that we bring in from weddings would be significantly greater yeah so then then then paying for the rental of the eventually is going to catch up and it's going to pay for it I mean they'll be based on by the table it's included in a package so with the package price instead of you know $1,800 or $2,000 of that coming out from us to then pay the rental company that's just going straight into now rather than whatever the cost of the the rental would normally be and then adding the additional for um rate into for profit you're saying it would be better to purchase materials and then have to store and maintain and replace them to go ahead and build it into the package renting it without having to maintain and store and replace materials yes I mean for net revenue purposes yes because the maintenance of those is relatively simple um catering can even help with the cleaning process as part of their setup and takedown um and you know we can get the auto house rearranged a little bit um between upstairs and downstairs the garden shed there should be vibrant storage and depending on what you purchase there's really not that much maintenance to the table for chairs no and yes with the idea that some you know will have to be replaced actually usually it's you know maybe a couple chairs at a time over years but um they would be paid for just with June weddings so how much would it take up how much space um would it take up from the house but auto house when we're hoping actually be able to show that and open it up more for events and it's now yeah so I moved them I've moved the house around to now that the oven is out to have the side space where the oven wise is completely open so that's just an open space right now um so a storage unit could potentially go in there not everything has to be stored in there a lot of venues have a garden shed type of a storage unit for tables so not everything has to be stored in the auto house but potentially period appropriate storage unit could be built in there to kind of close that stuff off so you don't see it it's and it's really the one type scene are not unsightly and they don't pick up that much space really I mean we've been storing tables and chairs in there so if anything this would just help to elevate it a little bit from what has has been going on in there using as the rooms cottage right so what's also useful it has been we're hoping that we could open it up honestly I think I mean the fact that there are tables and chairs on a PA system all being stored in there now having an actual storage unit where those can be tucked away it's more appropriate than it is now so and again not everything has to go in there with we get basically now and some gardening stuff can be stored down there then potentially the tables could be stored in the garden shed and there's I'm thinking we have a fair area for storage possibilities that's not being utilized I understand that I just under I'm just thinking over the overall overall is it a good way to choice about um storing them and repairing is it a long term well for for effective cost for us that's that's one of the things and the one thing I have to consider I also why are you doing that now rather than writing I I understand that but this also gives um the the bridal parties different options on how to do setups and whatnot I under I can understand the exact and the limit us in a Oscar um we would get to the most popular industry standard choice at the moment and then if people are at something different we're certainly welcome to do so okay I think they've done their own work tonight yeah um you know what they're talking about so yeah I'd say okay I'm in sounds good to me anybody else come in one last question does the city already own tables and chairs that are used for different singing not that we'll be interrupting it for this okay more of an industrial yeah okay okay I'm just trying to yeah yeah for all bases make sure we're utilizing all the options yeah yeah yeah that's a really good question 300 chairs and tables thank you okay um thank you Ben and yeah we're moving on to club selection criteria is that something that's that we can slide into club affair no actually separate separate okay um but if it's all right I would like to suggest I would like to put that up I'd like to leave um that effort and then I do think um it will be all of us contributing it will likely be a separate meeting outside of normal I I would be more than allowed to help with the club selection criteria since I actually am on a club that is here um yeah I would love to be part of that Karen I don't want it again is there a club selection criteria already no um I think that's um hard so we're not reinventing the wheel we are you know while we work we're developing tweaking we're we're developing one actually we're developing a standard I think it's going to be based on so it doesn't look like there's any discrimination going to be based on what has historically been done okay that's a question to you for the right space going to be based on the story yes story so and what we have here in the house already yes all right so so while there's nothing in writing the objective is to put something in writing and it will be very in line with what has historically been done for the house and um what we need to be open to to ensure the city definitely not and that being said basically just about everything is the answer to that but the idea I think for that criteria is that we're looking for that we're looking for but and I mean we have that we're open to anybody that is interested in using the house and in a great way yes and this will give us the chance that maybe and I'm gonna say when because I'm optimistic when we have 20 clubs feeding down the door saying they want to meet here and we only have room on the calendar per say another seven then we have some kind of criteria and then begin to look at say these clubs are really going to be more in line with what we need to um complete uh you know proper community outreach and for for this house I also think it helps it it and I'm sorry to interrupt I apologize um I think it helps in the sense that we have a standard form or a standard information out there so it looks like we're not being uh it's subjective subjective yeah and the fact that there will has a minute when in place it kind of opens us up for problems I think it's important to have a policy just like we were doing with the donation yeah just like the donations that would be where you your criteria might be things like the goals of the the club you know how does the club support the community how does the club it also helps with grant purposes then we can just say this is exactly what we're looking at this is what we want yeah and again fall back on your grants because the grants give you some guidelines to that's exactly yeah and that's why if you can kind of keep that in mind as you're looking at companies and who they want to partner with the house as being a partner not a friend but a supporter of the house also look at whatever grant opportunities that they are operating and I see well is there anything in there that we need to pay attention to and include in when we're looking at a club does the club fulfill anything in what their grant kind of their their ideal you know who they're going to give money to it's going to serve this purpose I'm going to let you guys flush that out okay it'll be I think I'll leave it but I think I'll go ahead and can we put this on for all business for next month and we can then come up with a day that might be good for a meeting task meeting outside of board meeting okay yes um I do think it's not like we're recreating wheel at all I think it's about clarifying the wheel and then cleaning it up and making sure that we're on point and the information is accurate and it's not changing and I'd like to see it happen before the club yeah gets really absolutely solidified yeah yeah yeah okay um so we'll move that to all the business for next time and so as a date and get moving on there yeah okay um moving down to dates for open houses for 2024 so we've done one in April um well it was you know last year we had April July and September for the art walk and then the holiday open houses so I assume that works well or this actually opens another can of worms of committee setup we normally do that in in the uh January meeting and we didn't do that we should set up for um our walk particularly for our walk okay to make sure that we have that in place so we're covering that yeah so we're gonna start seeing you after four hours because I think that would be a good fit when is the date for our walk that's what we need to decide the 14th 14 that's right yeah it is so if you're saying we need to get our name in there I think I think we need to get it set so we it's working and we have people working on this we've got we definitely got the the club affair and everything set and I think that's great but I think um normally what we do um one of the things that we had worked on is in January that any um outside tasks needed to be set up in January so it was set for the year so we know okay that was Anne mentioned also that she has a provider she wanted to share with us so I can get that from her when I get her signature for the that would be one more work let me just um do you want to chair our walk committee then Maureen I just want to double check on the dates um that I am good to go I'm concerned that I actually might follow my news this way the 14th is a Saturday correct correct that's kind of a problem because it's my god so well I'd be willing to help with it but I I I could share the committee but the problem is I'm concerned that that day I will not be able to right we just want to know that it's set up we're gonna get around so yeah but can you we're sort of on this level at a time yeah so it's done in advance and then the day of they come you don't have to be present it's okay the rest of us will be present and okay I'd be more than glad to this is one of those work things that who knew that that would be the day but that's the day but all the work is done in advance so if you're okay with yeah I'll be more than glad to to chair that then that work cover your back thank you ladies I appreciate it what time just that normally last year it's evening four to eight isn't it something like that yeah something like that we can it is really like if it was I was thinking it would be earlier than that but yeah it's pretty good hopefully it'll be great weather and then do we already know when we are walking scheduled for spring then just normally they said but now that covid's opened up I wasn't sure if they're going to do a spring I haven't heard of that I will look into that thank you I used to do one in the spring and yeah the spring one was smaller but yeah but yeah I'll find out but then covid hit and everything like this so yeah it wiggled things around so do we need to set the other open house case yes April July yes I apologize for getting set would we set the December ones at this point yes please and I assume for December we want to do the same thing regular decor and a Santa these are usually on week nights first Friday I think or the like the the April and July ones that we have on week and yeah they help them yeah sorry later in April I don't know until last year we did a July 26 summer open house um both of those had times from 430 to 630 remember they we decided after one that it wasn't long enough it was two hours just too much too short so we got to keep that in mind for time then the next we did was the step to the ninth art walk and then we had December 1st Santa and December 7th open house so so that was a Wednesday I see I said the one that we had like 17 people yes yes which I don't and I think the part it was that it was not publicized it's not as much as I normally would have been yeah and so that's that's the problem we've got to make sure we don't have it in this year so the last Wednesday April we moved from 4th this year unless we want to do like Thursday night or Thursday night is good too I don't know if that would be why don't you get on this actually have more people for some reason might maybe we try that this year maybe go for Thursday night it's worth a try yeah is that going to be over nothing spring break is very early it's early it's like the big one yeah right yeah with our that's you don't walk do you help me do it do we want to just July you want to stay with another Thursday or you want to try a Wednesday just for kicks and giggles just see if there's a day of the week tends to be better or would be consistent to stay with a Thursday well the 25th is is the same in July is that box Thursday yeah let's do that just to be yes to get people's minds better and then the time for each of them is what should we plan for to be fine that the 430 was a good time slider was better for after work time you know 430 can work as long as we go later yeah 430 does something or 430 didn't pay you know couldn't make a suggestion could we move it to five I mean I I think people come out to work they come out to work if they're most people work so could we consider changing it to five to seven 30 first that means you're not coming back that is a separate time yeah I was gonna say children it's not coming before that I just needed hourly numbers for well I don't think April we did for July because I remember that having this conversation was like 430 better it's five better yeah but maybe if it's 430 to 730 it does open it up for kind of makes that nice yeah it's not four stars for each of those the spring and summer and the dates are set for the 25th okay yeah um about yeah okay so we can do save her on here to April 1 so I'm sorry can you I'm gonna start to get that out sort of to April 1st it'll be in a brochure that's coming out great that will help when you want and Christmas is already set and then they'll also both be in constant contact obviously so they didn't do it yeah no we haven't been I mean I got discombobulated I think I think normally we do set up a three and then we run until eight or or yeah yeah two to nine so so so they normally come in and they set up a we ask him to be here by three the event starts at one but 430 or yeah four four to four hours yeah I think it's four to eight yeah three to nine would be with seven we have time eight p.m is the event correct yeah eight and nine is clean up set up and clean up okay and then December it's Friday is the six correct and that was the second one and then we did the other one what time was it oh sorry no no no it's gonna be something right on so last year we did the the open house one on a Thursday night because it was December 7th we did the Santa on the first which was a holiday lights will be on the 14th yeah and then so we need to probably be consistent go with the um the 12th is the Thursday the 12th this is like Thursday yeah Friday is the 6th we're staying up and then the 12th open house is on Thursday and we have some alterations to all of the lights we're starting at eight from the same open house so it must have been four to seven I think it was actually we did four to seven 30 I think yeah that's Santa that's what we did last year yeah so we want to do the same yeah yeah four to seven 30 and so six on 12th that's on the six that we can set up a chance as we get closer so four to seven 30 on the six but then what do we want to do on the 12th because it was it was less it was like four to seven yeah just listening like that yeah it's really well attended the house yeah that one was really well attended I know it's not too much so it means of course and then the holiday light was right no the 12th so there's you there's nothing going on downtown and we know how busy it was that we know do we already know when the the um holiday yes 13th and 14th as well um so then of course it gets dark so you may want to if you can start well a little earlier is that maybe four see my little kids seems like the family so little kids came earlier yeah they did that that has to do though it's how long um Santa can come right yeah well that's I think this year but do we want to core to be the same as Santa or or the same so that last year so I think I think we get the same as last year it was really well attended that was yeah well it was advertised from board of whatever yeah you know because the lady that that Sammy and I ran into had a yeah we're sure it said eight o'clock yeah we were walking and all that in connection with yeah we said to me yeah right now it's us was forty seven yeah forty seven but and so are we staying with that forty seven I think we should stick with that okay I I disagree I think we should stick with our standard times of every open house we just do it from 430 to 730 and and call it good I kind of think so I'll always 430 to 730 yeah I think we keep it standard so if it's an art walk will be different how it walks the only one that's going to be different but it's a different but it seems to me if we have an open house we should keep it a standard so all our open houses are yeah instead of jumping around yeah I just think it makes more sense everything's working something okay and I think we did jump ahead we should go back to November and we should schedule when we're decorating ladies I know my schedule gets booked up really quick and if I don't have Aaron we're going back to November and I apologize maybe schedule something kind of tentative but that's what I'm saying that we're also looking at we're an artist that wants to do a holiday market which if we need to shift it we can but let's get a tentative date on the calendar okay please well when's Thanksgiving this year the 28th oh gosh it's late yeah it's it that's part of the reason I'm like one gosh guys it's where you're gonna be weird well it doesn't need to be done before Thanksgiving or and I think this year we were a little late weren't we yeah I think we might want to look more like uh late october be too early we used to decorate over home in october yeah well if I'm looking at it they might do a holiday mark the lights out early in November oh and we might need to download it earlier if that's the case if if decorating earlier gets us more events in here I'm good for that I don't think it doesn't matter we're gonna do it uh they're wanting to have the market on the 3rd and the 10th of November and it's like a holiday market so if that was just decorated it would be okay so like yeah late october if we want to do october okay yeah we can do oh yeah I want to do it too early because I don't have stuff you know like programs in october so right but we don't want it yeah we want to get to the first so yeah like maybe a week or two at some point could we do November 1st today that friday yeah we could just come during the day and do it yeah get it done it would it would feel really weird just weird yeah well and it also eliminates us from having being part of an open house for you know we'll just have to you know have to be like complete that day because we won't have any time to know there's these last few things right yeah we could go complete it on the first okay I think if all of us get here and do it we can do it we can do it well if we have a plan ahead of time it's not right yeah we get to watch this and it's not after like three this last year we were like trying to do the luncheon and right oh no it was just too much I'm sorry to be so pushy but yeah okay I think I think we've got that nailed down really well all the open houses are 734 37 that will upgrade our schedules according to the closer okay under new business the oven safety check I'm so glad we did that I we're doing that oh our job I still so I did I talked with fire I talked with the Indian she was comfortable with where we're at with continuation from the previous one but she recommended that we get the go ahead and get the companies whoever the company service people in the area are to just come and take a look and which is fine but you've been working well yeah so I did I did actually hear back so they're I just need for the time to call me but they received that order they pushed it through their system and so we're just waiting to get the phone call to set it up I do have to stay I am very disappointed in the other that was purchased I think it was poorly done the fact that those burners are going to be on all the time the fact that it is a gas oven and you only have one rack in it it was previously a gas oven um is it no longer a gas no no I was in for what gas I know it was previously a gas oven but I just think like to like it really isn't like to like because the asshole the old oven was a better oven than it was well it might just it is two years ago and I understand that but I think in for future wait if we replace that item we should have a much better um conversation about it because it would have been better if we had a an electric oven in a gas range and the fact that the burners are going to be on all the time increases are the heating air conditioning increases it's just was poorly done in moving forward I understand that we can't afford to replace that oven currently and I also stand understand that we um had a um issue with installation and having the whole thing it's truthfully it's been a nightmare about the whole thing I just wish the board had had more input on the choosing of the piece of the process because it just so with what we have here's a question I would love to go to the induction instead you just not have gases yeah do the burners have to remain lit what can you just be lit when it's time to be using um you can ask the company but it would be for me it would be catering by the pilots every day you have to have because yeah you probably have to have a professional because of the safety issue it's set up as a commercial as a commercial oven because food is made here it was bought as a commercial oven and I I know you understand all this stuff but um and I'm not I'm not gonna sit here and defend that because I I agree with you Maureen but it's what we got so we'll just make sure that it's working right I understand what we have right be sure to say making sure it's properly cleaned because burners are not sealed so I guess there's a process to make sure that it's perfectly clean so we don't put a fire due to drippings and whatever that's something to think about just dealing with what we have being aware of it how do we properly clean it um what about the hood is the hood has it been cleaned what's the name it's on the hood the hood looks clean it looks clean but I just think that it's used so infrequently I agree but I get your it's it should be checked annually that's that's exactly I'd like to have it put on the maintenance list of something that's done because that's where most fires start and for a free of charge reference in in replacement of say for refrigerators or any equipment in the house I would like that to be a board item that's looked at and that were included on I understand not the cleaning of the hood but that the purchase of any appliances that are going to be put in the house I'd like to be included I think it's important we I mean I have experience in this and maybe not all board members do but I think we have interest in what's going to be best for the house and having that's part of the reason why we're here as a board to be an input board and if we're excluded it kind of circumvents what we're doing I just think that that if if certain appliances don't need to be replaced and we're just replacing them to replace them I question that that would need the sound plot yeah even in the process of if something has to be replaced it's a good idea you're on many many minds help come up with that it's okay it's bouncing off the ideas and the fact I understand the purchase has been I understand we are kind of stuck I'm not happy with it I just think it was bought for purchase prior to your two years two years ago and I understand that and it has nothing that you can do or change it but at a certain point when it will need to be replaced again I just would like it to be included in the board discussion yes okay Karen since we're dealing but we have fire extinguishers how many do we have and maybe we should have two when we have one sure I mean the safety committee comes and makes sure that we're up to par on all of that they just did a check recently but I think same you guys where where it is important where they are if there's a problem we need to do that quick Karen I think we are actually doing that by doing part of the inventory and looking at the inventory and seeing where the fire things are and I Brittany's really on top of making sure that that the first aid kits and all of those are up to date and whatnot that's not really my point my point is I just wish not wish I I I am requesting that we as a board be including some of these decisions that's it and it's again the city will make a decision on what they choose to do but I would like to have our input included that's it anything else on the other okay we're going to move to lace window balances and library traits it's out there at my desk yeah exactly but the drinks I'm like yeah so so I'm doing the inventory it reminded me and it was candy's idea which is fabulous that we need to get rid of the top so that people can see the beautiful windows to have them restored and this beautiful protective glass outside of them and they make this gorgeous statement we'll sleep up heavy ones yeah yes that's larger in the library that's so so removing all of the top lace things will allow you know all of the beauty about window to be seen and well you can see it from outside but you can't see it from inside and it's okay that we have these bottom you know they're privacy that's fine but then also yes in the library the drinks are really heavy and what we could do is scale them back so it would take removing them in too much cutting a lot of it out but kind of recreate the incident instead of being more like a real true drink it's more like a little bit of a border on the core then kind of accents and it's like look at this and then it can serve as a tonic exposure that's that's that's what I was gonna ask what about so yeah I can change this from the sun I said I do you know about the top balances and um yeah do you close the library do you close the library you drink to see out they're never closed anyway no so be more of some it's aesthetic yeah it's really not going to make any change other than open up from the inside and that was your suggestion that we remove the the lace so we can see how many rooms have the lace balance everything it has yeah I'm just it's not just dining room and and these are music throwments it's not good and we can open up the library curfews you know I mean they can be slit open more too but I think she's trying that I was going to say I mean too much material but we do want some sun protection yeah because they certainly don't sun exposure they are yes well I move that we consider the removal of some of the the lances or the top curtains in the rooms based on whether we need sun protection or not to expose the stained glass windows so we can see more of them also um discussion my question is is the use of the other word consider if you like to do it yeah well I would ask I'm just saying we also need to consider what and I don't want to be in and I want staff to be in conflict with a decision that you guys have made here when at the end it's our decision so I would rather that decision be in a month after she has a little bit more time to make sure I think of protection stuff like that I think we're holding more for sure yeah but let's make sure because I mean I'm with you 100% but even with the old ones basically we had shaded windows to like a better term and now they're bright and shiny you know and everything's clean well that needs more sun and what damage is that going to do the carpet some other things so I just I want to dig into a little bit more and so table it for a month and let's do that but I think we're on board and we may just take something out so your motion will be considered considered yeah still would be that works everyone except for the tempered glass about the exterior glass is it not white are you sure it's our way it's not tinted no not at all but it's not tinted I'll leave it to you maybe it's what I was getting at yeah that's actually because it is that's the image is that the process of the movie I don't know if they can apply it to the exterior of the glass or the carpet have to be done on the interior of the glass I don't know enough about that but that's something that could protect it yes you need to discuss this further yeah that's it I think it's another realm that we would want here and also we haven't even gone into a season but the sun is coming in so since it was August and August the sun's already pretty high but couldn't we at least considering or considering the ones um particularly I would take this one back yeah on the windows yeah we do not have the sun interaction that's what I said let we're on board so we'll just we'll just we'll just start doing it so to completely take this discussion in in the meantime if we find out that we're good to go let's just yeah we'll just start doing it because everybody's on board right now is that okay with it there's any question and then that it's not going to be okay and that there needs to be more protection and when it can't happen with the glass on the exterior then could it be that for events that the top arm being made so that it is easily easily yeah a little spring loaded something so that it's easy for events we can just hey back down take it away and then have the event again I'm also need to pop that back up as we can turn about staff time that's a lot of your time but it's just that one room that has to get ready for this right well let's talk about yeah just that step okay moving on from old from new business items from staff the grass what did we leave that with Ryan I think we were having to push that off with the pressure that they're seeing with the grass right till the ball was caught but I thought that's what we needed I haven't I haven't heard anything about it other than to see what so we wanted to work on the grass this spring right and we have a plan with golf well who beats us having your irrigation replaced so I'm really concerned about our his they're being able to commit the time because that's obviously a huge priority while it's done very neatly it still leaves a mess and so I think we'll probably be pushing that off till trying for the fall growing season on which we'll see we'll see we're on board he's on board we got a plan I thought that's what you said um I hope I understand what you're saying and I understand global logistics but I also am concerned that the gardens look for the best particularly if we're considering a video that we can achieve uh the best that we can strictly talk about grass yeah I know so yeah it affects everything I understand I am just well yeah do the best you can I understand thank you for the information at least we know what we're saying I'm just not sure and and it's always not sure it is what it is yeah okay okay are there any items from the board I don't have some staff items oh we have staff items sorry I'm just gonna back up this is your staff thing so yeah um just I think everybody kind of I I did want to come on that congratulations on the most fabulous great yeah they did your job um and there's nothing wrong with this light we just need to put it back in and then entryway also the exposed um or the where the phone came off and so they had to pass that and they did the paint job it was pretty flawless I was gonna compliment you you're just ahead of me because the board comments are after but yeah congratulations yeah it was finally great it looks um they're still trying to figure out a plan for the upstairs um light sconce oh yeah yeah but it's all the there's some um you know some little wood chips and things like that have been replaced also so Brittany congratulations and thank you for all your hard work well I think it was empire but but still you got it you got it done you're not done yeah I'm done that's you okay um and then the other update I have is um we're currently in the process of a deep cleaning that's been going on it's done the city is doing it um every Saturday in February someone's been here doing a deep cleaning of the house um which is really great and we met with them you know a couple weeks ago before the project started to go through everything and we're excited about the work that they're doing and then moving forward to custodial is going to be here on a bi-weekly basis instead of just weekly so excited to just kind of like have the deep cleaning done as a reset and then have somebody here twice a week to eat the general cleaning and keeping up on all that so yeah question on on I'm sorry we were approved for I think it was three new custodian citywide and we added a custodial manager last year which I have mixed feelings about as far as control of that system but in the big picture already more custodians is good and so it's allowing some nice course um question any concerns that has been raised by the deep clean of anything so we need to be taken care of or considering on no but I don't imagine that that would probably be the case I mean this person's not looking for but if something comes up we'll certainly address it yeah so you're kind of starting from the top down so yeah perfect that's great okay that's it now I am two things to share um Christian canard has to wait February 5th and she was the wife of Dennis Cones who was our mayor um Christian was invited to be as the mayor's wife a part of the board when he served right and she said well sure I'll be on the board but do I have voting rights and he said no because you're the mayor's wife you're just the token person here and she said well then I'm not going to do it I'm going to run for the board so she interviewed for the board and served on the board I don't know how many years but anyway she was a very sweet person and so um just wanted you guys to know that she passed away and if it's okay I will take one of the Callaghan house cards that we have and write a note to who has been from us as a board I think that's a wonderful idea and honestly I was going to suggest that in addition to that I would like to do a congratulations um card um for the baby as well from the board I can get you the cards as soon as you want okay what's that the baby board or secretary or Paul I'm going to do this would you do a um uh a card um from the board um for the new baby okay that would be wonderful thank you Karen you're doing it yes my hand raised and then the other thing I wanted to share um you had mentioned about wanting to do the upstairs tree for Santa Claus when the kids come with golden books and I have golden books and I have more at home so anyway these will I'm going to I don't know if you I'm going to keep my home but I will bring these books and we can decorate the upstairs tree with golden books and then keep an eye out these apps between markets and secondhand stores and things like that for these little characters I and then we can use these these are stairs for great grandmothers but yeah anyway this would be kind of fun to decorate the tree again with that would be wonderful and I did pick up some ornaments last year actually from Target that had that word book themed that were um had uh the Little Red Riding Hood and um now I'm lunking on the various things but that are felt like that and I would like to donate those to the house cool so we can meet anything that needs to be donated to the the process that we've created so yeah loaded up but yeah perfect so are you donating the books to or that comes and goes that it could just be a wall just alone she looks great and the same with the because I'm going to give you to add to whenever you go way up to the okay something we can use their glass red ornaments okay that could be used somewhere I've been looking on online and I'm starting to look at things that are deep discounted as well so is there anything particularly for the trees that you're thinking of? I don't think so we have you know any extra items that we didn't use this year so I don't want to overload necessarily on all the items but there's something that is very appropriate that makes sense for the historical aspect of sharing Christmas during the era of the house um yeah well we're doing the inventory we did find more Christmas items that were down in the basement pile that set aside is items that we're considering donating okay so okay I wasn't sure I don't want to miss like I said overload with holiday decor but there are things that are appropriate to add that are you know I did want to bring up bring up from the board um when when I was downstairs doing inventory I did notice that we have a fair chunk of damage from um I believe ants um on the doorways and I did point that out to you um so that needs to be included in our um repair was maintenance maintenance I'm concerned on how thorough those little working ants have been um going through the door frames down in the basement and if we have an issue with that we need to get ahead of it there was a fair chunk of little crumbles down below where they've been eating the the wood and um it's going to I don't know do mitigation or um it doesn't look like I think there are ants there's some sort of critter that's eating yeah but it's going through similar to to a termite but um I'm concerned can somebody come take a look here and have a full life well the one was the same thing about Kristen canard because I've been so on the tour with her but um the other was I wanted to ask you all you would like to have a little snippet of history um or two one or two pieces of snippets of history about the house of the Calhams um Sharon when you at every board meeting just it came to me that you know there were things and and even just like what I didn't know about that was after the PEO presentation and I just thought you know this is something that could be a good opportunity to share a short little snippet about history about the Calhams and if you're interested in hearing something come to me I would be I think that's great because the more we learn the better we're going to be that's certainly important yeah let's just add that to our agenda so you want me to share one of those things with you right now which is kind of this could be on items more yeah but I don't want to have to report it sorry I need to be yeah it's just I think I'd be great for it it's the stories I take so so um there's an interesting fact about the second floor apartment um that they lived in above the house when the the Calhams lived there um on october 1895 a little 19 month old Raymond fell from one of the second-story windows on his stone walk was a little drop of 18 feet and the Calhams quickly called a doctor who found that Raymond's injuries were limited to painful bruises wow yeah still fine intervention but basically that accident this will prompted them to begin looking for a house that and then their um attempt to begin to entertain a growing circle friends but that one was the scared one can't live but the the store anymore so this was about their business downtown yes do you have the address of that business yes well it was in the 300 block of Main Street yeah I had the picture and that's the one that I had held up and did not include in the at the end but but I can certainly and the presentation but I can certainly share that I wonder if downtown has one of those um it has the golden rule little things out in front of it but the history that you can understand the phone and PR what is a QR code QR code you know I remember we did the QR codes during an art walk many years ago and that was our intent and that's why we did spend a lot of time of going over to the right but the scene did follow sure updates and I think yes but does the QR code do they have QR codes on all of the buildings downtown between the third and fourth block I know they have a main street they do historic right out in front of the buildings on the sidewalk and you can just click it picture it would be on the west side it was on the west side okay would that be something that we could include in um our little snippet that goes out monthly from the cal ahead and also be sure to go and look at the downtown where the building was and then QR code would that be something that we could call that was yeah the constant contact with everybody wants to create content for that it's always open so I would put the that is for a thing in there that's cool that's what I'm thinking is a generate interest and then we could put the address and yeah that'd be great but what's the mailing that it goes in or constant contact constant contact okay that'd be great yeah so that was the idea was that I'm putting together content for events and things like that but if there are symbols or historical pieces of information that you all can create your content the contents already been created by Karen sharing with the board then that could be taken care of that'd be great for that piece of information yeah yeah but something with a photo or you know written digital content yeah what do you call that there okay we're moving on to future agenda items that are not listed so you can need to get in when do we review for next restoration preservation project not that we're doing it right away but when do we need to review that list that's that's created and and we'll see you know okay we might this one we probably need to put in for so so budgetary budgetary we budget for capital items we start putting those in at the end of the March so if we have any ideas on things now again right now we have the the brick pointing in there which is a big one but if we want to back it up with something else right now Harold's very he's not big on new things going in until some things are able to get done however that doesn't mean we can't cry so that that's the timeline could we consider them in next month's meeting the list and we can then say identify the one that is like our next on the wish list so to speak so we can say here's our first one we would probably say but if the city can't do that one maybe this one and it might be a lesser cost I don't know we have the idea that's that usually how that works but I mean we have other small things that have other funding opportunities in pp145 but that's a that's a five year out but we have some flexibility with that as she's starting to learn on how you think so if it's things that are in the one thousand to ten thousand dollar range or things we can consider in a different way but I would say now would be the time to consider anything because if we want to try to put it into cip then that that I'm doing that in April okay well because we could we put it as a discussion item um on that agenda so we have a better understanding on maybe if we look at projects differently and we can say okay we're gonna look at budgeting it here so we as a board have a better understanding how the city is approaching us yeah if you want to throw some budget and we can also that idea is that we're reading Roosevelt in a way that works well not don't think so big it's a rose garden area some playground area stuff like that it's going to say the giraffe barns going not the big not big stuff but nevertheless I want to make sure I'm involved in nexus that can go sideways on me thank you Ben okay so can we add to the new business for March are we doing the maintenance renovation list and identify some second yes that and what our priority looks like next because if we're asked for if we're asking for the moon and they're just not going to give it to us for another five years why don't we ask for a star and one star one star and here we're making progress and everything is that we do have funds in the Callaghan house eight by thousand so there's there's funds that can be used for restoring the you know the chairs replacing the leather on the chairs yeah that's actually so this project the uh clusters all cool chapters of clusters are interested in coming together to join us so yeah it's considered that we're actually looking at it as a state project that we would consider redoing this so yeah but but the point is outside of CIP if you do 145 there is other money available for things that need to be done and that's why we have that's why we have the list it's also why we have the funds why we're promoting people to donate to the fund to continue to maintain and restore and so I'd like us to not get okay we did this massive restoration which was massive yeah we don't need to do anything for another year well it's one more at least little thing that we can get done and the accomplished and showing that we're continuing to use this fund and continue to restore and maintain that so that's good thank you after anything else here we're moving to adjournment it's 10 56 10 56 all those in thank you hi anybody in chat
