 I'm going to go ahead and call the meeting to order. Okay, has everybody had a chance to read the minutes from the last meeting? Sounds like Jen will walk in. It is Jen. Hey there. Hello. Okay, so I call the meeting order. Has everybody had a chance to to read the minutes from the previous meeting? Okay, can we have any corrections or for? I have to just have a quick corrections. You might want to change the whole business. A second sentence, you might want to change the exact time you use up there, but it's in order to wait for it and I can't tell you. And in the scrapbooks update, I think it's accurate to break the first sentence. Actually, Connie reported to Maria via email and said she continues to investigate digitizing the scrapbooks. And I reported that the table contents portion of the project is finished. I didn't say that part. Okay, right. So don't be there and play reported. Yes. So Connie reported to Maria via email and said she continues to investigate digitizing the scrapbooks and then you can switch. All right, I'll just sit back and do that. You guys can stay around to sign the answer, please. Okay, so I'm looking at the minutes and with the corrections, can I have a? I'll get a second. Second, okay. Moving forward, on to the house manager's report. Does everybody get a chance to read past this report? Does anybody have any questions? I'm sorry? How are you sleeping? Well, just to answer that question, I was here two in the morning on Sunday. You can see the alarm went off. I went home Saturday night. I saw that. I did. I go almost all the way home and they started calling me like every two minutes. So I turned around and came back. There was nothing. But all I could figure was that maybe the motion sensor picked up the curtains moving in the air conditioning. But if that was the case, it would happen all the time. So I don't know if somebody was outside the front window and like doing something strange. I don't know. It took, I came back with my husband and we went through the whole house. So I just left. I knew it was locked or I was pretty darn sure it was locked, but you never know. So yeah, two in the morning is when I got home. Watch your husband for coming with you. Watch your husband for coming with you. So you didn't have to do it. Okay, two in the morning. Here we go. Yep. He was thrilled. He was here a week ago Monday. And tell me that the report would be done in two to four days. Oh good. When was the bar up here? Yeah, that was just a question mark. He was here the first. They weren't selected. They reached out to us because of the article in the newspaper. And it said that they were interested in receiving the RFP. Do you know much about them? Are they a local company? They're a Fort Collins company. And they felt they had this sort of preservation experience. So all we all we're going to do is make sure that they get notified when the RFP goes out. Right. I think on the list. I don't know. I didn't check. Yeah. History follow up is a good list of people to you. I mean, it's going out to the public. So notifying somebody in addition to the notification that's going to go out from the system is neither here nor there. It's just adding one person to the list. But I did reach out to each. I talked to Watkins. I talked to Spectrum. I talked to White. I talked to the receptionist at Waterloo and Dobb. So they all know it's coming soon. Okay. So yeah, I saw Jane. Yeah, I was there. It was very interesting. Talked about the windows of the first press. Both the restoration and the meaning of the colors and the symbolism in the selections of what's in the glass windows. And they have beautiful windows. They're absolutely gorgeous. And they have had that tempered glass applied to them like what we're talking about. So it was a very nice presentation and both Jane and the minister presented it out the windows. And then Carol Affleck had a reception. This was a nice, nice event. Parking was there though. Boulder. Yeah. And they changed the name of the church to Grace Commons or something like that. So without driving around Boulder down it's right here. I don't see it. They keep just saying this is where I'm at. You're there. Why would they change the name of the church? I don't know where they live. They never. Does it be a deal of circumstances out there? Yeah. But it was very interesting. We talked about Christian Endeavor, which was the youth organization that was formed in the I think late 1800s to get youth involved in the church. Then they have a very strong youth ministry. So it's kind of cool. So I have just a couple more quick questions in the expenses part. So when we have ice, I'm guessing but as a pastor to... It is. Okay. Because they're like, we only have an ice maker. Why would they invite us? Well, we only have 40 pounds of ice. So that does not go very far when it's 97 degrees. No, it doesn't. You know, on this week. It makes this really good event. If, well, and we buy, we buy ice when we're doing the non-alcoholic beverages. When they're doing alcohol, they bring their own ice. So with the purchase of, like from a Deccan's, I'm wondering, why are we spending $300 outside of Loma on floor polish and fertilizer? Well, it was mostly fertilizer and it's because there isn't any available, organic fertilizer available in Loma. I went to Flower Bend. They don't have any for Loma business. And Lowe's and Home Depot didn't have organic and they wanted organic fertilizer. So we've been buying fertilizer in the Deccan's for years. And then the floor polish, are we, is that something you might get local? I just bought it there because Andy and I were there. Are we replacing pitchers? We bought 10 new ones. Our pitchers were miserably ugly. And we used them all the time for events. So we got rid of the whole one. This is like, that's great job. Yeah. They were, they were banged and dropped. The plastic. Yeah. Well, and it looks like getting 30 year ones, but honestly, they're like 70 bucks a piece. And the first time you drop them, they're done for. And these were like $9 a piece. And when they get that, we throw them away and get it one time. We just replaced them all. Wait is another issue. Yeah. They're like having in years of doing that constantly. Andy, you can't tell what's inside the metal ones. So they're not because you, so you pick it up and you pour and figure out, you've got ice cream and still what many or whatever. So yes, we replaced the pitchers. And then the, uh, Taylor. Those were, those were the Callahan house pitchers. Oh, we put just home? We did. We were just about out. And because of the fact that he now looks in Aurora and transports them personally, it's just easier to buy a bunch. Okay. Plus the price keeps going up. Because the price of ink keeps going up. So we are now stocked for a while. Are there any more questions? On the final balance, on the balance sheet, basically we've got this excess of expenses over revenue. So we're roughly $5,000 in expenses over revenues for the month. But not for the year. No, just for the month. So just, just looking, I wondered, don't we have telephone charges consistent? Do they change regularly or have it changed regularly? Telephone expenses get charged per paycheck. So in July, there were three paychecks. So we got charged three times. Most months we only get charged twice. Oh, okay. I think this is what the nuance is that. Solaries and wages and temporary wages and employee benefits cost falling up. Three paychecks. Yeah. All right. Thank you. So going through the house manager's report, can I get a motion that we accepted and put it into? Why did I go over something that would be second? I'm second. Okay. All right. Moving on to old business and starting with the grant function. So we kind of talked about the free food. I did want to ask you, Ben, while you're here, is it possible that we could have a presentation maybe in September by Cary? Is it Cary? Cary, yeah. Cary Sheehan? Oh, yeah. But she's been working on this as well. And she is part of the historic aspect of it. And I was wondering if we could speak with her maybe in September or October how we're coming to talk about it. What would be the purpose? What would you want her to present? I'd just like to, first of all, put a face to her and meet her and see what exactly, because she's helping cover the historic aspect of it. And I thought it would be interesting for the board to meet her. Well, she's part of the facility. I can talk. I will talk to her and see if I'm getting her in if that's possible or if it works in first schedule. And I would ask that we put that right at the beginning so she can just talk about it and then leave. And that's exactly kind of what I was thinking. But because we've been having this at the start of the old, that's right at the start of the meeting, I thought it would be interesting for the board to kind of put a face to her. And because she's working with Kathy, it would be interesting just to touch base whether we do this in September or October. I don't really care about this. And it's Cary with a K, is it? Yes. K-E-R-R-Y. Yes, it's a Y. R-R-Y, okay. Yep, K-E-R-R-Y. She had S-H-E-E-H-A-N. So the purpose could just be to meet her. Yeah, basically. Okay, that's fine. We can work that out. I thought that would be interesting. And again, it's asking first, and then if we can meet her in September, October, or even November, that would be great. However it works in the schedule. Because this is going to be a great project that we would kind of like to see. That was just my only comment on that. Would you like Ozzy to come as well? Yeah. If that's possible? If that's possible. Okay. It'd just be kind of because, again... I can invite them both. Then I kind of can have a face to go with the name. And then we know who's working on it and it helps it. See Ozzy, this is one of those things that would be great. So on to the project itself. And you kind of touched base. So Phil Barlow was here on the 1st, and then took all the paint samples. And he did not use a lid to use a ladder. He said that he couldn't figure out how to get a ladder. Or I lived in here safely without breaking trees. And he was concerned about the driveway. So he just used a ladder. And he got all of his samples. He was here for about four or five hours. And he's got a little after lunch. And said that it would take him two to four weeks to do the report, depending on what else was going on in his life. So he would put the report back to us. And he's also going to get us the samples back so that we can actually see them and keep them for a record. He said that the colors at the very base seem to be very dark. And he thought it's one point or another that they might be even paid for Christmas. Wow. That was what he said. He said that he thought there were a lot of reds and greens. So he was intrigued. So the RV is pretty much ready to go. But we're not going to release it until we get the paint analysis back because they want to include the paint analysis and the information that they get the contractors at the pre-project meeting. So that they can adequately bid the paint job. So that's kind of where we're at on everything. We're just mostly in a holding pattern. That's great at the fold. Okay, cool. Yep. Bring the same old stuff a different day, right? This is good progress, though. That's very exciting to hear about the paint differentiated. All right. So moving right on to the tour brochure and updates. And simply put is because we had talked about going through and going through the self-guided tour and whatnot and then putting it into play and seeing how it went. So, Karen, you're really pretty much the one that's been handling a lot of the brochure stuff. Do you want to go ahead and put any update? Well, really short and sweet. I think it went really well. I mean, that when we handed them to our guests, I didn't have anyone hand them back. Everybody wanted them. Everyone wanted to keep them. So that's a really good sign that shows that we did not overload them with information. And actually, it was valuable to them and they saw a reason to keep it. So, which I think is wonderful because we've accomplished what we set out to do. And on each of the two documents, of course, we do have a QR code which helps with providing them access to information at the house and an opportunity to dummy. So, I think it really accomplished what we set out to promote the self-guided tour for them to have end the Callahan Housewide Historic Restoration and Preservation is important. So, people actually did pause and afterward and asked me some more questions about the future. So, that was a good result. Did anyone else get any feedback? I didn't get a copy of the historic thing. I got lots of feedback and I'm going to go back. About those two. And we'll get back to those stories that way. About that announcement, I just heard that it was great. They were excited to have it. They actually, the ones that didn't get it, went back and got a copy. So, to me, that's a good thing. So, just about those two. And then, do we have any more comments in regards to the historic restoration and preservation document itself or any changes that we wanted to make in regards to that? Did anybody see anything that we needed to do? Can we go ahead and finalize the self-guided tour for sure and then get that in place so it's done? And I'll share with Kathy. Yeah, and that's exactly what the whole point is, is to finalize everything that's here. I think it worked out really well and I didn't see any changes. Is anybody else see any changes that we need to make? Ask a question. The question I have of this was the $180,000 awarded on December 1st in the matching funds. Some people might look at that and thought, oh, Longmore gave $180,000 to them as they did. Now it's specified right. Would you like to put, say, a 25% matching funds or do you want us to put $60,000? What do you prefer? Just not that set. We just got to say what we want. It actually needs funds to set up and more specific. 25% matching funds. And that's on the, which is why historic restoration isn't right. Okay. Thank you for catching up. And then we'll stay with 25% or the $60,000. I think either or. Maybe let's stay consistent for a dollar. Or 20% for the city. Yeah. Okay. Because we've got dollars here to show people. You know, it reads easier. So we'll put $60,000 in the parentheses 20. Thanks, Janet. Okay. Is there anything else? Okay. So we need to go ahead and have a motion to prove what changes. So then we can move forward and we can get this put in place. This will be, it's going to be going forward. You are going to get a motion. So, actually, you know what, I need to check something. It was just reading the purchase that Tom made of that 35 strip of land. That's really rather interesting. We did more research and we closed the transfer. Obviously, Tom bought it from BG Jones. That was one of the questions that he bought it. It was from Glenders. And Glenders bought it from Shaw. It was this really quick turnabout. And BG Jones bought it from Glenders for $1,000. They sold it to Tom for $1,300. It's really an interesting exchange that happened there. So rather than say, short for this, rather than saying from the neighbor to the east side, because BG Jones really wasn't the neighbor at that time, then property north, from the northern property, or the property to the north, not neighbor. Not neighbor. I think that's better. I think I need to clarify, I think I need that clarified. So if it's okay with you all, Tom bought a 30-foot strip of land from BG Jones. So we have a motion on the table that we approve these as the changes that are submitted at this meeting. Can I get a second? I'll second it. Okay. So then these documents with changes, then we'll be submitted into Kathy. And then we'll go from there. If I could request both, do you do a PDF or a document or a doobah? If you could do both, that would be great. We're making some changes for our website. So the information contained, they'd like to see it in the webpage instead of as a PDF, so that people on mobile phones, they finally passed 50% of people doing everything on mobile phones. And a PDF is, I mean, you probably all experienced a PDF. It's really hard to read. So we're trying to transition and if you could provide both, then as we get there, we can, or just forward it. We can bring that to you. Well, with that, I'll pass it. Provide that. Yeah, that'd be great. So if you could provide that to Kathy and to Soelle and Fabulous. Fabulous. Thank you so much. Could we vote on the motions, please? Yes. Can I have a vote? Yeah, I can. I just say it. I'll take it. I know. I know. I know. Yeah, I know. We're getting the official right. Yeah, we're being recorded. So we could really do that. I'll look at first. OK. Moving on to the Callahan House Room By Room Docent's Guide. I thought it went really well. My only request is that we keep a copy in the drawer with burn antics for anybody that forgets. So we have one. That was a good idea. It would be helpful. So we have the information and then we can review it. So if we could just keep a copy in the drawer and then we're not asking happy to get one of the motions because I don't think that's fair. I just think. Can you explain the difference between the self-guided tour and the docent's tour to me? Yes. Because I'm not sure I understand. The self-guided tour and the historic preservation restoration, each given to our guests. They each guess that's one. The docent's tour is meant for just us, the board members, to have any of them so that we can answer questions as they may come up. So it's meant for us to be able to properly describe the rooms, explain anything in particular that's of particular interest. And then, yes, if there's a question that somebody comes up with that it's likely going to be in the detail of that room. But then anytime a question does come up and it's not in you, that would be a good chance for us to update our guests. This is for just us. We will continue to update it as needed. So as a question comes up and then we clarify it, we'll add it to the appropriate room or the appropriate section of the guide. Okay. That was just perfect, isn't it for us? However, I do like Eric's suggestion. And when we would talk to him and he met with us, I think he said, he said, well, some people might really want to have this information. What if we had it set and bound to, it could just be something similar to trying to think of what publication we may have that's similar. Just hard paper, you know, like hard stock paper bound and folded over or something that's better. Yeah, a booklet. But anyway, have that available for purchase if someone wanted to purchase it. And like I said, I think I said it in the last meeting, that he said, that's a great idea and because there are going to be people who will want all these details. They said, the challenge is just making sure you're able to take the payment either if it's electronic or something. He said a lot of people would not carry cash with them. And so he says, just be mindful of that, how can you get payment? So ideally, this can be traded into, and I think that's what I'd like us to do, some kind of a put that can be purchased by my guests. I think that's a good idea. And to be honest, I was just going through my bookshelf this weekend and going through various different things and came across the 75th brochure for a certain, for a long run and other brochures that I have that were really fun and exciting to look at. And I think that's one of those things that I think it would be neat to have. But at this point, are we good with what we have? Well, we do have some nice feedback from questions that came out of the open house. So basically. Okay, do we want to discuss it now, or do we want to discuss it now? That's a good question. Yeah, I think we move forward. And we continue to recognize that the Dosenstour is a work in progress. I don't think we're quite ready to get to the point where we publish it. But I really do appreciate all your work on it, Karen. But I think that we need to put it in play a little bit longer and see how many more questions we turn up and add to it. So that being said, I would like to move forward and go on to recap the July 27th meeting. Open house and talk about that. Okay. I'll just keep up. Any more questions that are seeking comment? Yes. And I have some questions from Ann or Janet And I'll just keep it up. And then the next, after September, we'll do the same thing, just gather any questions. And we can kind of, then. If that would be basically, I think we're going to go... It's kind of like a combined effort now trying to keep the publics being aware of anybody that's watching this. If we can just kind of recap any feedback or whatnot that we got under the open houses, if we can just discuss it at that point. So I would like to move forward on the agenda to the open houses and look at... Go straight into July 27th recap and feedback from the event. And this is basically going to cover that. So we had a hundred and sixty-four... She called to court. You have five advisory board members, one student volunteer, one house manager, running the event. So I think it was quite successful with a hundred and sixty-four gifts. And I'd say it was definitely a really great start. I think we have some things we should probably talk through to see how we should feel about the flow of things and how that worked with sending in little small groups at a time and then kind of shuffling them from one room to the other versus having a decent tour of that whole group room and we decided to talk about what we actually put into play for that open house. So how did it work? So what are the overall separate and also opinions of the open house page? Upstairs was hard because they came through both doors. I mean, up the steps and through the back door. So I didn't know they were a little bit this way or they went to the meeting room or whatever. So as Kathy said, we're both came up the stairs. Yeah. We had to come down the stairs. So we got a lot of people on the floor. So that was one of the things that I did want to bring up. You know, I'm so sorry that you were ill and could not be. I was too ill. Cold strikes. One of the things that I would like to be able to do that is if one of us can't be here and be sick if you could contact me and let me know because that way or the chair, it doesn't matter who's in this position. So we can contact other passport members or people that would be willing to volunteer and step into place so we can stop that from happening. It should not be Kathy's responsibility to fill in with somebody. I could certainly have made some calls to Kennedy or or Fiona or Mary or somebody else that sat on the board in the past that could have filled in the position and help keep the crowd a little and help that stop from happening because I was aware that one of the guests came through and said, oh, I got a good job on the stairs. And I said, oh, oh, you weren't supposed to be doing that. So that would be helpful. And I just I think that it that would be a good thing. And I don't know. Kathy's got enough stuff on her plate. I don't think that that's really a situation we need to add on to her that we have other people that we could have called in for that. The other issue that I do want to bring up is and this is hard for me. We had a person come in at the last minute and it's it wasn't allowed to finish the tour. And that was particularly because she's handicapped was really hard for me to see that. I believe and I'm just putting it out there. I believe that if somebody comes in at a certain time and we shut the doors that say 730, we shut the door and we don't allow any other guests. But if somebody comes in at the 728, we allow them to come in and finish the tour. I think that's appropriate. I agree. That's how it usually is for me. Yeah, but they were lying off and well. Yeah, except they weren't allowed to finish the tour. That's what I mean. But they should have been able to finish it. Yeah, I would like that was really hard for me. And the other issue is and I'll take responsibility. I got the follow-up and I told her the wrong date for Linda Hartmann was to come back. And I feel horrific about that. I really feel very, very bad because she came with her mother to see the house at the last minute because she didn't want to be stared at from the lock. And then she was allowed to finish the tour. And she was told that that would are done and that and it doesn't matter who said it or how it was done. But it was said that she was not allowed to finish the tour and it was really hard for me personally. And I would like to see that we don't do that again. I think it hurts badly on us. So I would like to see her to be able to have people kind of do that. And because I don't have the ability to contact this person and readdress. That's the right thing. Can we put in contact earlier than just the week before to make sure I don't know how they got the information about the open house? But can we instead of just a week before on the two weeks before as well as the week before just so we can try to get that outreach? How long do you anticipate it takes to go through a tour in a comfortable manner? Because maybe you might want to consider advertising that doors close at 7.15, you know. And maybe just advertise 5.30 to 7.15. But internally know that you're all here at 7.30. I think it's just understanding when I, in my opinion, when you say to 7.30, that means the doors close at 7.30 whoever is finished and we should anticipate another 15 minutes on our part to be here to about 7.45 to really finish and get everybody out. It's a misunderstanding and a miscommunication. I think it's just a clarification on that point that maybe we mistake that doors close at 7.30. I mean if we're only open from 5.30 to 7.30 and let's be clear, I've heard a lot from a lot of people that have never been in the house. They wanted to do the tour. They didn't want to just do art walk. Art walk's different because art walk is set up when you're an artist and we're not doing the dose of tours. But I've heard several times, why aren't you guys doing more open houses? How long does it take to do the tour? I guess it's my question. That might just take you hours realistically. The reason why is this, only because I went to a lot of 15 minutes. 15 minutes? To come in and tour the house. I've watched people come in and I see them go. So they come in 7.30 and you're staying till 9.30? You need to go through from room to room and have the docents speak about the room and the retail of the room and then get through a tour. Not just really through the house. If you're strong through the house, 15 minutes, yeah. Nobody out here hours. It could take up to an hour or more. You want to come in at 7.30 and expect them to stay till 9.30? No, no. I would say we shouldn't cut the time any shorter than 2 hours. I like to take a person to go through. For another room, how much time were they in the... 5 minutes. So how much time were they in the private? Maybe. And just to say 3 minutes and they go through the music room. They work from 12. The 5 minutes of the whole walk. Yeah. I think most people, about most people would be about 20 minutes. I agree though. I'd like to say with Swellins' idea that at 7.15, we should say no more. Because you don't want people coming at 7.30, you know. Because some of us who have been working maybe have a dinner waiting for us or maybe have something else waiting for us. And they could easily be here till 8. Yeah. So we have to plan for... We essentially work here till 8. Right, yeah. So we're essentially here till 8. I don't see anything different in just saying the doors close at 7.30. 15 minutes. We're talking 15 minutes, right? So if we... And then we know that we probably won't get out of here until 8. I just would like it maybe addressed that doors close at 7.30. And I think I would be much better. And it was just really... It's still locked, isn't it? Like an additional... Close at... There were a lock at 7.30. Yeah. We can't lock it. We can't lock it. We can't lock it. Because of fire... Because of fire hazards. We may be in trouble. And we have to have two doors open. We have to have two doors open. But we can... We can certainly turn the faucet off at that point. Turn the lock on. We can close the door and... And once we have an understanding of that's what we're doing. I just think that would be great. So... I'm moving on. The only other comments that I wanted to... Saying that if there were... Me had some interesting comments. I know, Ann, you heard questions about the screens. I heard questions about the screens and whether they were original to the house or not. There's some other little things that I... We made comment to... I typed in and put in Q care and to add that we need to do a little research on... I don't know if the screens are original to the house. I think she asked specifically if the screen doors... Doors. And I said that if the doors were original to the house. And I'm like... I wouldn't... So I... They wouldn't have screens. But I don't know. That's one of those question marks. Yeah, I was asked about the sleeping porch too. Because you don't see screens. I heard screens. They're the same person that they had to have a screen. They had a nice one. They did have screens. So they always had screens. And then the other question that I thought was interesting is the water source for the lawn. And where was the water source? And how did they water the gardens? Another question was who was the gardener? And who was the cook? And I was like, I have no idea who the gardener was or who was the cook. They didn't keep information that we know of of that detail. But that's something we might not have the records for. Yeah, but that being said, maybe it's something we can look into. So those were the interesting aspects. Did anybody else have a quirky thing asked? The bathtub. Why isn't it a cloth? Why isn't it the cloth? Why isn't it a cloth? Why doesn't it have cloth? Because that's what we expect for our overall bathtub. So we call it the cloth. That was done probably in the 1906 renovation. So they weren't necessarily using cloth. Maybe that was in. But that was like a wheel style. Yeah, I guess. They're hard to clean on here. Oh, have you done that? I can imagine. My thinker spilled theirs in. They literally oiled it in. Yeah. So there's probably the dust under it. Well, it's storage, because it could stick stuff under it now. Sure. Oh, right. Oh. Everybody's always trying to think of extra storage. And another one is the people here years and years ago were probably not as tall. And they were going, why all the tall doorways? And that was like going into the bathroom. I looked at the way up there. That was another question was brought. They wanted to know the height of the thing. Yeah. And I was going to try to look that in a lot of times. So I said, I think from the pictures, we could probably guesstimate you on how tall it is. For sure. You knew how tall a car was? Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. We could figure out from there. But that's one of those things we'll add to the research that we need to do. Because you weren't the only one that was asked that question. How tall was the family? 12 doors. That's a great question. It's because of trouble. It's because of trouble maker. It's about the same as the library. I bet it was. It's kind of a good question. And that's about the lock lock in the library. Yeah, the library. And it still works. I don't know whether that was an addition or it's a pit. It runs out of battery. Oh. Yeah. It's a real addition. It runs out of battery. It runs out of battery. It runs out of battery. It runs out of battery. It runs out of battery. None of the clocks in the house are old. Okay. One question we could add to it, too, is that some of the men asked me, is the mechanicals of the place. The original was a coal furnace, I understand. But now, of course, it's a gas probably. I had several questions from people. That's a point. I don't know about heating the air before that. I didn't. So that's the detail of the mechanicals. Okay. Great. So, aside from what we've been hearing a bit about, which I'm assuming, the transmission windows of an interior and exterior doors. And this is that self-adjuster. We're open to a lot of air circulation to cool the house. And Calingon's hot water radiator system and all the radiators still exist under this. They're no longer functioning. The house now has a full HVAC system which was installed in 2004. Oh, okay. Do you think you need more than that? No, I can just read it. But I get that question every time. Every year at the time. We don't have radiators. They ask about the benches where they could in by the cowhids know because they were using the radiators. One dimension that's the newest hot seat. That was the time. I said, do you want us to work on the tour? That was the first thing some of the gentlemen saw. The radiators. And I said, yes, they have radiators. But the first thing in the door is so that's interesting. What's fun is the vacuum system. The fact that the museum still has the collections I asked Eric. Can you get a picture of it? He sent me three. And right now, we're in the process of moving things around and moving their off-site storage. So he said, this is what I've got for now. He said, I can get you a better picture after we've got things settled in a few months. I said, we'd love that. But yeah, it is really something. I looked at that one and I was like, goodness, the one was amazing. But yeah. The photo of the friend has to be came from the fireplace. I'll probably get a picture of that so we have that for people to actually see too. That is the other thing. I was drug out front and shown the number plate and did it light up. And I'm like, I believe so. But that's one of those things. I can't come in. I'm bolted up there to look at. That's what I'm talking about. Karen's giving me this look of what in the world. But anyway, so moving on. I think it was the 27th was a huge success. A couple little pickups that we can move forward. Hey, I was thinking, can we include the option to have them sign in to our guest list and like to be on the mailing list because a lot of people did ask well, when's the next event? How would I know about that? When are you doing another open house? So, all around me. All around me. Yeah. But to make people hunt stuff down like that when they're specifically asking a lot of other historic films to do have a guest list. Do you want to be on our mailing list? And it's just a yeah. Here's your email list. We don't. How about this? I can work with Kathy with our constant contact e-blast. I believe we can create a Palahen house interest list and have this sign up here. And then I can work with Kathy to help send out blasts on a period of nature about every kind of thing. So, how about we work on that and then you can see how that feels and we can address it maybe in January again to see how that's for the day. Thank you. There's a lot of people in the city. Yes. Would that be a better one? I'll work with Kathy on that one and help provide your car just lets it figure so that you can hand it out if they wanted to sell off in. So, we'll work on that for you. That's great. That's exactly. And also anytime that we're doing when we get around to the fundraiser event again, that would be our opportunity to do these things. It's them. You're the first one. Moving on to the art walk, Ann. Yeah, our walk is moving along. We've got four artists scheduled. Looks like that's all we're going to get. I haven't gotten any more feedback from any of you guys. So, at this time, I've got Jamie Hernandez who's going to bring her a beautiful paper dress that she's made and she's looking for a mannequin. She has a dress form now that she's trying to find a mannequin she can put it on. Anybody has a mannequin in the closet? Let me know. Whoa! You have one in your closet. Aren't you a little cool? We should talk about that. We'll make an offer to her. They have it up there. My daughter's having her bridal shower and we're putting out my all the old wedding dresses. Oh, cool. Oh, I like that. They're standard size, right? I'm not a mannequin or an expert. I'm going to use mine. I'm like, it's standard size. standard size, right? I assume it is. Let me, Ann, I'll pop you on the side. I'll let Jamie know. We can just have it here. Yeah, and I'll just bring it in and we'll just let her use it. It's a great skeleton. Yeah, it's a skeleton. Literally a skeleton. That's so funny. I love it. I love the forms. She uses it at Halloween. Yeah. We have a watercolor. I think it's acrylic watercolor, Kelly Kotlinski and that's your friend. She's going to be here. She's going to be in the music room. Andy Maestes, he's a photographer. He lives up in Lyons and he's going to be in the library and then here in the dining room we've got Ellen Maddie. She owns the red door in Hygiene. It's like an art shop. She has her own we'll put tablecloth on the table here. We'll put, I don't know, maybe as there are no leaves or maybe just this big, but this is plenty. If you put more than this, you really can't move in here. No one can move around the table. But she has her table stand. She can hang some on it. I think she wanted two floor easels. So maybe even corners over there. And the carpet will be open at this time but in a way I think that's a good thing because that's the first room they come into and it's small. It's not a very big room. And it's an art room in itself. We're just looking at the parlor. So we can put our pictures and books in there. Yeah. It's a small room and in the past artists had kind of tripping over there. They loved it. That's not good. So that's where we're at right now. I had a lot of people who have been here in the past. I did talk quite a few and a lot of people just... I don't know if it's the weather or a lot of people just weren't interested in showing me this room. The heat is kind of a damper. It could be anything. I don't know. I didn't ask why. Yeah. I want you to come. Thank you, Anna. I appreciate the update on this. So when did you do the setup? I told people to come at three o'clock. You'll send me the list. I'll take all that. Coverage. What do we need to do? I'm just looking at coverage from 3.30 to 8.30. Do we want to split the time again? Or... How are we letting people in? Is it just walked in? That's a good question. Like... We're considering the volume. Last year we just did a walk-in. I think that's the best way. I think we need to walk through so people can have sort of the art. Again, this isn't an open house. It's an open house, but it really is not an open house. And we want people to see the art. So I think we have one of us standing guard at the door and issuing people in as deemed safe. What do you think? I'm going to be in Virginia. My niece is wedding on the 10th of September. Oh, I will get you to go. That's wonderful. What a good aunt. She's actually renewing her bowels because her wedding was right in the middle of the cul-de-garde. She went ahead and got married and had a baby and now she's happy. That's a good celebration. It's a good celebration. Alright, so maybe I'll reach out to past board members to see if they want to help in and build in with the art walk and see if we can have anybody. Are we considering splitting the time then? That's what we've done in the past. Yeah. Okay, so how would you like to split that? Well, I'm going to be here at three when the artists come. So I'll be on first half. Okay, and I'll take the earliest one. We just have to figure it out. We've spent hours splitting that. I'm doing the calculation. So it's like 3.45 to like 6.15 and 6 o'clock to 8.15. I'll be here at all times. I'll be here at all times. And three or four people in the house during the art walk with the artists is plenty. I don't think we need a ton of extra people because the artists take up a lot of space and then you get guests in here or just to ask answer questions. Are we having the back door open? We have to have the back door open. I'll be back. Should we try to at least have three in the first part and three in the second part? So we have two down and one out. So we have somebody garden that we'll do our best. But no matter what you tell people they'll roll for something. We can, but then the people who come down from the top get stuck on the staircase. There's really no place to tie them. That's the problem. I could put stanchions on it. That's the best we can do and people will still ignore it. I spoke to every person who came in the dining room and asked them not to use the stairs. And they did anyways. It's amazing. You can do like a crepe paper or something that is, you know, I'll put the stanchions up and that's the best we can do. But we also don't want to create a safety situation and have people get stuck. We don't have a locked door, but I'm not aligned. We don't have a fire or anything like that. We don't want to keep anybody in camp in the room. I think you're going to have to reach out to student volunteers and get a couple of them one at a time. Do we want to do students or do we want to do passport numbers? Can we do a combination of that? It's a boring job. Let's just try to stanchions and see how we do. I would like to take the early half if I could as well. So there'd be three of us. I'm jamming myself in and I'll have the marriage and bride at that time and hopefully not going to go. We probably need it before then. I know, three or earlier. I think you can for sure. But could I bring it to day four? We need to check with her, but she's probably not going to bring it that day and set it up. She's probably going to come a different day because she's not going to want to put a new cap on whatever works for her. Well, our board let Ann and I figure out when and maybe we could get it that first week in September so that she can bring it anytime that works for her. You're saying the dress? I've always brought the dresses in before because they're so fragile. You can't just slip it on. It's not something you do the last minute. And you can't do it while people are moving pictures in. I will try my best to work with you. But I'd still like to be on the first half if possible and then Karen and Connie are you okay to do the second half and I will try to reach out to Candice or somebody that would be willing to do that as well. Okay, so second half is 6.15 to... 6.815. I want a little overlap. I don't want everybody to take it off. Yeah, 6.815. 6.815. We've always had like a 15 minute overlap so that people can when you're reading a placement show I'm not used to them. And the second shift is until the artists are out. Yeah. 6.815. Okay. All right, so moving... Is there anything else that we need to discuss in regards to our walk? Oh, music. Music. At the moment we don't have anybody. Can we just have music that plays like we do? We can play music inside the house but nobody would be able to hear it. I could put a speaker on the plane in the garden. We'll just put it on the capstone. We'll just make it really easy. I've reached out to several people. They're all booked. They're all getting paid. They're having an offer to pay one of them. They're just... Nobody's responding. Same thing we're running into. I had an offer to pay one of them. I tried to get that one guy that was so good that we've had several times. That's great. Any place for free. But I think he said they weren't available. My neighbor actually has a jazz... He used to be in school. He plays the saxophone and they have a jazz group. I could reach out to them and say, they'd be willing to do that. Actually, a band orchestra teacher in just a few years. Let me reach out and see if you can be one of them. Just make sure they understand there's really not an audience per se. A few people will stop and listen. We'll put a couple tables out there. I think that's why people get together and play. It's not Mr. Bill. It's not Mr. Bill, is it? No, it's... It's like, you know, long as your children age. No one's... You thought I had some experience in that? It's like, oh, I sound Mariano and he just it's... Music is nice. And he plays saxophone and they do beautiful jobs. So let me reach out. I just saw him yesterday. I just liked him and he's in a friend that slaughtered him. You know, there's another place in time if you ever go on Saturday mornings, I think, to LaVita Belle to practice. But they're pretty good. So let me reach out. You can just have him call me if he's interested and we'll work out. I'll probably save this afternoon if you want to. So, um... So, okay, so music. Alright, anything else in regards to our rock? We will have our distance course. Then you've got it in your hands and can answer, right? I have a look of the word. I've never heard of that before. Music. Art galleries and galleries. Okay. The doobits is college. Yeah. She is one of them. So basically it's to a guy. To a guy. To a guy. Okay. Okay. So we'll have the guides. We're going to add extra here in case somebody gets it. So we're going to put on our badges. We're all ready to go. It's all good. Moving forward on to the Santa Open House on December 2nd. Have we seen an advertisement for that? Yeah, I've seen what it is. I think you all know. It's in the fall recreation. It's online also. But right here. During Otwalk. September 10th. And here is the holiday open house. December. It's also on a Saturday. So yeah. Like it was last year. Do you want to have that? Yes, of course. The registration is required. So it's here. Which is also online. And then it will go in constant contact. But can we do this at some time? Okay. Just to see if we can reach. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought we were talking about Santa. Sorry. Sorry. But then I think then I had a question. How many guests were we going to allow this year? That's a good one. Because here's what our stuff was last year. That's why I got this big clump. But I was like, okay. We're going to need that. But so we had 213 total guests last year. That's about the same number we'll have. And so we did have six walk-up groups totaling 19 people. And then we had others who also walked up that did not stay because they couldn't want to. And we had some no-shows. That was a slight offset. So we're going to stick around with the 213 for registration. The registration was for about 250, I think was I don't remember the exact number, but it was four people, four groups of four every 15 minutes with 250-minute breaks. So it was about 250. And Santa did not get any of his breaks. I think he got one instead of two. And it was very short. Five minutes or so. Well, it was great. How many hours for Santa again? Um, 330-8 is how it's advertised. That's what we did last June. We'll cut the we'll cut the line off it. The registration so quick. Well, it's just 30. So we'll do exactly what we did last year, but we're going to do individual registrations to the groups of four. And because that was very confusing and ended up in a lot of phone time for both Sue Ellen and I to clarify. I'm sorry. So basically, I think we stick with the same, from what I'm hearing that we stick with the same program that we used last year, trying to fix any quirks that we did that we had. And I think it was from hearing everybody because unfortunately my mother cast right around that time I wasn't here at the event itself. I think we just stick with it clean everything up and then have a go. It sounds like a game plan and we'll go forward. I am excited for it. I think it's going to be a good event while we're discussing when are we planning on doing the decorations for them. Usually we schedule that in October for November. So as we get closer but we should be in our minds thinking November we're going to be decorating. We're going to decorate November and try to take it down in January. We should be picking dates because our calendar is still at fast for November. That's why I'm kind of pushing. Let's do it at the next meeting and look at the whole house calendar and the club calendar and make sure that we don't get a little bit of time. It starts to fill up though in September. I'm probably pushing a little in advance because I've got a wedding in November. Well we have two weddings here in November which is also going to complicate things. So I need to look at the whole picture. So let's do that. We'll put it on for because we have a wedding in 19 and we have a wedding in the 25th. And I think they both wanted the house decorated so we're going to have to do it before before the weddings. So take a look at your calendars and let's talk about it next month. Okay. Getting married the day after Thanksgiving. That's how my daughter is getting married. A wedding here. They're not getting the lunch. They're getting the lunch here. They're doing the lunch here. They had a hard time finding a caterer. What's an experience? Okay. So we're going to get into that little flyer in the utility spell just a little blurb about that. That's a plan. All right. Any other comments about the open house and the Santa open house? I do have one comment that we need to be careful not to over advertise it because I think we just put it in constant contact and on the website last year and we were sold out one three days. So we need to not over advertise it. It's better to undercommit and over deliver than because that's the reverse. So On the other hand, Kathy, I kind of disagree because anything that gets the California house out of people's mind is a good thing. I don't think advertisements is bad if we discussed maybe not this year possibly we might have to schedule another date. If this is so successful this might be something that we consider to schedule for two days rather than just a while. Anyway. It gets people excited about it. I think it disappoints a lot. People get disappointed anywhere when they're registering or when they want to or if they don't I think we've already touched on this it's going to be disappointing anyway. So but that said it's still she shows up in three days I think she's got whatever we're doing. Yeah. I just think it's neat when you get the city line and you can read about the events that are going on for the holidays. We're celebrating too. That's good that it puts it in people's minds. If I can't get in this year I'm going to try really hard to make sure I get in next year. Moving forward onto the house managers pictures update I actually have put it up for everyone just a quick little word about the Hanging System. When we met at the last meeting we had talked about doing the gallery Hanging System and this is what I probably have extra because I just did or if I can write them. Did I? Oh sorry. Just extra. Needless to say it's just the gallery system art display it's on the website it's literally called gallery system art it's a Hanging System for 8 and R it holds 88 pounds each we looked at the aluminum tracking system we looked at the original gallery system and that's what it's called and it starts at 279 zero cables it goes from it's got the footage right there and 10 hangers and then 10 hooks I think we just go with the basic system I didn't mention that wall I would like to just mention that wall and we had discussed that we were just that's where we're going to go it would go above the Hanging System it would not impede on there the Hanging System the Hanging Rail that we have currently and therefore it would damage the wood again we could go with when we had discussed with the group of us I think we'd go with the metal cables because they're just much more secure and the big thing is we want to lock it in place and have it done and again Kathy shouldn't have to fidget with any of this this is used in major galleries and it is sturdy and long-standing and it allows us to move the pictures without having any damage to the wall on that point so at this point we had discussed it I would like to put forth I can't put forth a motion but I would hope somebody would put a motion forward about purchasing the system or asking Kathy to purchase the system can I ask you a question? Absolutely So the 10 fingers 10 hooks is that going to be enough for the quantity of the photos that we're going to I think we might have to purchase additional but as just a start point I would prefer to start and then we can add to it I was just wondering is it the way you can hang potentially two different photos or even three different photos up to 88 pounds and I doubt that the page will come down so I really doubt the managers the pictures are going to be heavier than these I think you're right even if we're about 5 on there I don't feel like I'm going to be here I'm sorry I'm going to purchase this Can I ask one question? Do we have the money? Do we have the money? Do we have the money? I don't have the money I'm not sure It's about $300 So do we have the money to do it? Can I get a second? Okay Can I get an all in favor? Yes Then the other thing at the meeting that was discussed in regards I have a question Who's going to install it? What does it take to install it? It's an easy installation It just goes all along I guess Are we all screwed now? I just thought we'd have facilities do that I'll take a look at it Yeah Thank you Kathy That's a good question The other thing that was discussed at the meeting we decided on pictures on which pictures that we were going to use for the managers and the sites and then we decided that we looked into that frames and we would not have them all be the same we decided that we're going to try to deal with kind of more of a plastic look that would fit within the age range of when the managers would want to be So we would try to find frames that were The size of the photo The photo would be within the age It doesn't look so institutional Correct So that's what we had discussed at the meeting We included the detail that we would include under each photo would have the name of the house manager or the service and any credit like photo, courtesy of The time is called that we have to do my mom's museum The time is called whoever is provided the photo We have to provide the credit And then we had decided that we were going to do placement for without pictures of just service of who named the photo But for the details about the house manager to have the photo we discussed and decided it would be a good idea to include either the gate or the oval window or a faint silhouette for the background How does that sound to involve with something that we said, you know what rather than just be a flat plane paper with that information The silhouette would be so big that you have to kind of look to see it, but just so it's not a plane paper What is it that you've done? What's a separate thing? Okay, so do you need a approval of the board to move forward on framing? Absolutely Okay, can I get a moment of emotion that we have approved Can you get a second? Okay, all in favor? Okay, moving forward on the house managers, which is great Thanks so much everyone Going on and we are on item E past and present board member wall of knowledge Real quick, I will bring next month an example so that you can see and you can decide on a great couple of examples and you can decide what you think looks better or what would be displayed That would be the next one Okay, alright Thank you Karen Any other comments about the house managers pictures? Seeing no Moving forward to past and present Moving forward on to scrapbooks Connie Okay, that's all great Something to share? Okay So, in talking with Eric what I was, because I think the last meeting I think it was a matter of people were going to be checking if the same green school district means they had the top equipment and I said hey, let me check the air back in the archivist groups So he recommends contacting the sand bill and he's pretty local in Louisville and he does photography of art and stuff so he has the equipment So if we wanted to hire someone to do that Eric says he does that so it's something to keep in mind It's not that we don't know where he's staying because we don't I don't know where I'm staying so we can't put our equipment into it or we won't need to hire someone so I think the kind of recipe can help us to share that with the other parents so we have it for the minutes Yes, yes I had checked at Evans 12, my old school district and all that stuff was gone so series of doubts they probably did the same all the photo labs and everything Well thank you Karen in regards to the scrapbooks moving on to follow up on public outreach To be honest I'm not sure how exactly we want to do this At one point I had talked about reaching out to PBS to possibly do something in regards to the Colorado experience I was told that it would be a two year process to get on a list Do we even want to consider doing that? Why not? It is future except at least two years down the road but why not? Just knowing that I've watched that program a lot and most of this driven from the Colorado history of Colorado and the Colorado History Museum and and they're fabulous programs but I think they're a little bit broader they've done some historic houses, ranches and things like that that are featured I think it would be a little bit difficult to have enough energy or no interest myself I personally do at that particular program I don't know Colorado but they've done I think they did live in a venture house in which it's huge huge and we were talking back from a stand-in and it was like right there I know that they have to look at and they look across the whole spectrum of civilization in the Colorado and the history itself and prehistory makes it big too so anyway that's my opinion on that with that particular program I keep thinking of local programming and things maybe it's time to do another thing on channel 3 or channel 8 or whatever it is whatever it is now I have one thing with Rockin' Out in PBS I guess we could put our name in the pot if they're ever doing like an overview of historic homes in Colorado so maybe we get 10 minutes not a whole hour be a part of something else yeah I think they have a hard time making it interesting enough to be a feature for a whole hour so the thought is well what if we do put it in the pot and I reach out to other historic homes and leveling them four columns and see if we couldn't do a collaboration if there's any lessons in Colorado we're available we're one of them but I think we have to part of the group that's a good point yeah that is okay I will put some feelers out if that's okay I won't move forward at all on anything without direction from the board but I think it would be interesting if we could do like a 15 20 minute slot combined with somebody else I think you could get the idea out there is that okay I mean who's to say if it will come to pass or not but at least we can try the name of the pot and see what happens okay alright and I also like that that we consider doing a program on channel 3 if you want me to reach out to channel 3 and see if they're willing for our volunteer it's all volunteer driven and we're volunteers so I'm willing to volunteer to see if we can weigh what we've got and have a broadcast well that was what was done initially with her video it was a broadcast on channel 3 I don't know whether they do you know whether they still do that on the channel I don't know I can ask and go from there at one point we had an issue in regards to the video and who owned it it was given to us and we don't have any issues in regards to using that as is the issue was making any changes to it well the original doesn't exist anymore because the gentlemen who did it and have the original passed away and they don't have the original but we have the video and it has an old city of Longmont logo and I don't think that's a huge deal based on when it was produced and we have the rights to broadcast it it's been broadcast many times okay I'm just they said they'd sign anything we wanted them to okay the group still exists okay and that's through the senior center right yes okay international posts sure informational posts I think that kind of goes hand in hand with the outreach people are wanting to sign the program oh great so we've already covered that maybe that might be our international post coverage and we kind of discussed a little bit about the pioneer days at the last meeting so therefore I put it back in Kathy do you want one of us as the board members to reach out and see if they even want to work with us to do lunch out in the gardens well we tried and they said no so we can reach I mean we can reach out again but the last time we tried we were told that that was the revenge and we didn't want to correspond the difficulty is because I work pioneer days is they have buses to each school they come they drop the kids off it's very logistics of it is amazing and then to add the extra step is oh not taking bus to the Callahan house up the road and drop them off and wait it would add a level of difficulty complication the last group or like St. John's they march their kids up here they call them by march their kids so they have the freedom to do that they're busting but the schools that are maybe young put some on here Central could walk that they walk down to so maybe we reach out to those schools I think you have to reach out directly to pioneer days to their activity and collaborate with them it's their event and they did oh Kandy reached out to them and pretty much came back with it's their event and they wanted to keep it that way I don't think it hurts to ask again but I don't think we should reach out directly to the schools I don't remember how long it was it was before Covid I think it would be fine to reach out again could we reach out again and is that something that you feel comfortable that one of the board members do or do you want to do that Kathy let me reach out I'll talk to them we have pioneer days this year because number one of Covid we get also schools we're not calling just and there ended up being like two schools that just came over at least just did that ourselves she couldn't get enough volunteers I said we've let over and things that we can do the station kind of ideas that we see well I still think if we get the information out there we have people that I'd be more to volunteer I agree with myself it's a huge thing and I would like to be able to continue it and if we could kind of add and help that would be great so Kathy if you could reach out just to say that yeah that would be please consider us and if we're going to know we're going to know but it doesn't hurt to ask well I'll reach out to her on behalf of the house involved in pioneer days if you guys want to volunteer that's on us it's fun I love it you've had this well I've been at it for five years we're going to get on yeah okay yeah okay moving on to new business house restoration and preservation projects this was table and we put it back on in regards to discussion on what we would like to do and we're supposed to come back this meeting house restoration and preservation ideas does anybody have I mean everybody should brought something back I'm sorry sorry why are we doing this again before the argument started on our house just so we have a list so we were it's about having for thought in being there gets a lot of location so the bottom line is if we get ahead of it then we have ideas on how much time are we going to discuss this this was the meeting that we had put on put aside to discuss it to bring to the August meeting it's been tabled since was it March I can't remember that we weren't going to discuss it until now and so you just brought things forward do you have anything that you would like to discuss in regards to what you see working for and the other aspect about this is in order to do things with the city you have to ask for it you'll probably be turned down but we've got to prove that we asked for those fund funds to do certain repairs and then once we've approved we can prove we've asked for this fund several times from the city the city just doesn't have the budget for it then we have that bill and you just take that and put it into a grant again if you don't ask we can't it kind of stifles us so that is why we're coming forward at this time with any repairs that you see as oh this is something we really need to work on the type of thing and Kathy thank you for this detail this is good I'm doing a great project on what I had done in this one so give me a second it's nice to see the notes though of what's already covered on the grants and the futures so that's real helpful on the dining room damage I know it's that corner there there's Jim Bertolt and a C of person who can do repairs he's very artistic he is interested in doing the work we just haven't connected because I was going to recommend one drywall person I know he doesn't return messages you have to let catch him he's not good when he answers it's a great person oh yeah he does excellent drywall work he's also an artist thank you for writing in anything that we've discussed in previous meetings I appreciate them do they still have the stencils that we used on this or do you have to paint it for him the bathroom also looks good most of the interior painting in the main areas has been done by Jim Bertolt in the 80s he's been doing it since the 80s he knows it and he does well the bathroom looks like it's done I mean it's perfect that may have been a stencil, that might have been Leslie could be but it also looks like you could touch it and be standing up to it I think I figured out something about the umbrella I'll share that more when we get to the sandwich and sandwich kind of got some okay from quickly from quickly reading through this is there anything on the list that you or in your mind that is not stated here we've had to do this at your house and this is your sort of attention the auto house upstairs we've had to do this I'm sorry I didn't hear what you just said Karen so that auto house upstairs repair faster that's that northeast corner right it's upstairs we had to leave, yeah it's on the north well it's on the east side yeah yeah it's a pretty more priority but that's an area that we just use for storage this seems very very well written so to be clear then we can look at I think we need to figure out exactly what are the big priorities the priorities of the grants at the moment I realize that but the next aspect of on your wish list would be the pointy the right point I think that's something that I definitely agree on the re-point submitted that already 23 yep re-pointing it's rejoining the mortar between the bricks on the outside and you're doing that also on the castones and it says here for the auto house but you submitted that in the budget for for both yep it was in the capital but in the plan I don't think it ever got included to include the auto house but it was both yes it was for both great just so we know and I think that's great thank you it was based on a 50% coverage on a high estimate so I don't think more than 50% of the mortar is gone so I basically took the first square foot based on Google Earth what's an interesting context like contractor measured it using Google Earth and told me how many square feet of wall we had wow so it's kind of an interesting march so we're submitting that for the 20 it's already been submitted but ladies do you understand why we're doing that we're trying to get ahead of it for the budgeting purposes and then we can look at submitting it when and if we get turned down it's just whatever when we get turned down that it's not in the budget and then we can try to go to outside sources for that's the whole purpose well we can go to outside sources without getting turned down for the budget it helps though just to show that we've tried to do our restoration and preservation projects but we're just not quite there yet but that was helpful in this grant application so to have that aspect is important thank you this is a question for Kevin to live the garden um when were the extenders still on? it was the last time that the garden was done and I know it's had work called it's been 8 or 9 maybe 10 years since we resurfaced it it needs to be done again the mason who did it last time is no longer available so it's probably next year project so that would rise up more yeah so say that 10 years ago so it's had work done I've been here 11 years and it's had work done on it twice since I've been here and one of those we literally took it completely apart and resurfaced everything and regalids re-leveled everything and put it back together wow and that was probably maybe in 2013 or 2014 but the anything that has water in it is very hard to keep which plus it sits outside right there you go yeah and you can only you can only which price it so much and everything we cover the center and the lights and that's about all we can do because we have to leave it open so it will drain and that's what I'm saying there's only so much you can do short of building a large little very over that's why we close it by the 15th of October because we never it has to dry and we never know when we get that first real cold snap which makes perfect sense again thank you for getting this together this is great and extenders on the garden irrigation it's built wrong I must have gotten interrupted but we're working on that right now okay did it paint on the back porch was that the exterior no that's all interior painting did you say that's interior painting no that's all interior painting on both that and the sleeping porch probably just the back porch the sleeping porch has wallpaper my point was at some point the surface areas need to be repainted and it's it hasn't been done since I've been here and they take a lot of in the wallpaper in the that's very 19 we probably won't yeah we probably won't do anything in the sun porch you should use it pretty much as storage yeah the sleeping porch will probably belong to you but at some point we need to repaint the interior surface spaces that's probably a Tim Shempelton thing facilities what of this list how do we do with counting those funds now like for example I'm working on that that we can do now I'm waiting at the moment I really want to get a ton of money because we don't know how we're going to come out of the grand setting and we want to at least be able to do the bulk of the projects even if we have to come up with more money so I'm working on this I'm working on the floor and the kitchenette and we're working on the some things in the garden and the rest we're just in a holding pattern what's going on with the floor and the kitchenette any is to be replaced real badly and what are we replacing it with I don't know the answer to that yet so something we should um so that's are you here in water excuse me somebody's washing your hair I'm here in water I'm sorry I jumped in I saw some cities so it's Jacqueline I'm good longs it's just no leakage I go I was in Alice what kind of world are we um so if we already moved in we'll be doing that work um and and you can work here on the wall he probably could I mean all that I don't know if there's anything we can do about that well if he doesn't do that kind of work I think I've got someone that does specifically they're doing this family house because they've got burlap on the walls and they're I'll talk to them that's been that way since I came here it's just tricky exactly yeah it's one of my you know I I wish there were no I wish there were no I wish there were no I don't know not in the direction I wanted shorter typical since that one one thing kitchenette foreign kitchenette so what you're saying it's it functions but it's impossible to keep it clean and it's just colored very badly and so you're suggesting it'll be replaced I don't know the answer yet I will talk to you when I get an answer is that the original floor no it was linoleum and it's pretty much linoleum now it's just that really thick and linoleum doesn't last it was just linoleum I'd like to replace it with ceramic tile but I have to figure out whether that's practical or not because we slide tables and stuff across it so trying to figure out and I will be sure and come back before we do anything if we go with ceramic tile can we go with something that would be it would look kind of like this you know as close to this as we could get we'll see what we can get if you slide tables across it you might be breaking down we might just need to put linoleum back in there or something like that looking for solutions just when you washed your hands it's like what's going on in the kitchen yeah ok well thank you I appreciate it and then this helps us and we can add this to our stuff and we can refer back to it this is really helpful ok moving on the QR QR follow up 5 minutes basically Suelen we were discussing in the last meeting is there any way that we can move it it currently sits and move it up to the top so when you pull it up iPhone it's right there so she did that what's complicated is process because if you want to if you want to pull iPhone just give it a go scan the QR code and you'll find that your the process is you have to have an account you have to have an account it's not as it doesn't throw as user friendly as I think so this was my question couldn't we just have a just a donate button where you just donate and you don't have to feel like you're signing in so you're going to get emails or something along those lines scan the code and then there's just a straight button that you can say here here's money because when you go in and you sign and you have to say how many people I felt like it was like I was buying tickets or something for how many people and if I just want to make a flat donation is there any way that we can leave them the what's kind of is is what it is we can change where we send people when they click the donate button like we can send them directly to the purchase of that piece and then they want to find the Callaghan House they then link in the directions to the Callaghan House right now we're going to the Callaghan House and then going to donate you can change where you want to route that the process of the purchasing does require some people will go one third of people will have no colors one third of people will follow with a little effort and one third of people will be frustrated if we switch it to testing which third of the people have no color which third of the people are that the experience we have is that people who are interested who really want to give they do call they get their assistance and get it so golf folks are being very successful with it we are using it in parks to do parks bench memorial purchases and they're having success there too so some people will make it work some people are amazed by it and some people are so frustrated I don't know if you've ever gone to a website like I'm good at websites I can't figure out yours but if the person really wants to they'll call that's my experience they do call it and you're able to help them out with that have we had any calls or donations since the start of the house I haven't I haven't checked because do you get an email when it gets old you do I don't understand a question I need to check the setup in the back we have not the money that was collected has been put through the accounts appropriately from the open house which is where we sold the books and one DVD so how many actual donations did we get there was not and they can give a donation with a credit card with a credit card machine so if we have that here for open houses and they want to give a credit card donation they can give a donation do we have a sign or something that says would you like to help donate for historic preservation we can make one can we do that because honestly I hate to say it and I'm one of the simple minded people if you don't see it you don't think about it you don't do it so if you just say would you like to donate why don't we consider doing that that's a nice suggestion I don't want to put it out there that's all we watch though is donations but we're not sitting there hand handling and hitting the doors and knocking on their friends until they get it's just simply would you like to donate can you also then have a box with a slit in it that's inside not outside but some people might just not drop a dollar bill we can do that too maybe you don't want to put your credit card in that's a good start that's a good idea didn't we used to have something outside just so many people broke into it the inside for the open houses not all the time it would be a cash pile don't get it if they want it bad enough they'll figure out how to do it okay I think those are great suggestions on both part and then if we get some health that way we're not done with anything so maybe arrange a time to do separate just sit for a little time and just step through and see if there's something we can do to iron out that process just really unhook all the scanning and donating online because it is normal the way people are handling a lot of patients yes they have a pretty cash sometimes or even a check or something which is nice but I want to make sure that that's as smooth as can be I know you're talking about the third third okay thank you okay moving on I appreciate that so the club affair so we kind of talked about doing the club affair and did a little informational check on you know we're down to I believe it is seven clubs alright and um I like to be able to promote that we do clubs here and um not a lot of people are aware of that and I also think that um it's important that maybe we do or outreach a little bit maybe we could um Karen would you like to talk about how it's been done in the past because I wasn't here for any of the club of personal I was here but I started doing it and started yeah okay yeah because we had reached out to initially our clubs that we put an all-call out to all the times calling used to have a little things to do not things to do but um um club meetings, clubs to join you know interesting things like that they could be in the paper yeah and um we just started going down the list with all those clubs you know these things we do like to get it's word out you know we have a loop basically we charge per table you know and they had the open house okay yeah there were 17 in 2012 and we only had 8 signed up in 2014 and we ended up refunding all their money nope because we didn't have any people show up what club affair it is it's an information time where it's like a fair basically where you can go and visit and just get information from the different clubs you know about what they do so it helps the clubs get you know yeah it was a facility and the clubs that meet here too okay so it's not an attempt for us to get more clubs here it's just an offering it's a possibility they may decide they want to buy but it's clubs in general if they're at a church some can conjure it okay and I think it's an opportunity for us to reach out to certain clubs that we would like to potentially might need more asking they would be interested in helping us to give us more club to be honest and diversify for grants and whatnot it would help I think it would be a good thing you know if we're down to six seven clubs that's kind of well it's a wonderful outreach to the public to provide a service to the clubs and the public to connect with clubs for community members to connect with clubs to get out to the community it also in that service supports them in their club which may be for the benefit of the community it may be a film property effort that is one of the things that was also part of the grant application what are the clubs that are meeting at your house with the community so what are we doing here we're offering a club affair that allows the clubs to connect with the community and some of those clubs are film property managers so it's which is beyond the walls of the house so it was done twice 2011-2012 that's it that's all that was in the scrapbooks that ended after that I think Leslie did it before we did it before this said first year yeah because that's how it is in the scrapbooks we tried to do it in 14 we just didn't get any participation and I wouldn't say do it every year by any means but you know it was helpful back then who knows because a lot of clubs are defunct now a lot of them are people spend their time differently there are many clubs actually that have been born I think I think there's the other thing that we were talking about and I remember this very much they would organize and then put it in the news where people could read about it and figure out which clubs they wanted to go to there's almost like a lapse in trying to figure out where to go to figure out what clubs you want to be involved with because you don't know about them I think this would be a great community service and it would help us in long haul for grants to say that we did this it's worth a shot to see if it will work if it doesn't work then we might make a decision at that point but I think we should attend to it I just to tag on with that I think in some ways we're probably we're talking 2022 now we may need to talk to I'm not a member of several of the clubs that I used to be in just because of time and the way things are right now and things but that might be the way to do before we say we're going to do it that we could explore the idea with the clubs that are in existence right now to see if that would be a helpful thing that they were interested in because those people those clubs that were involved with it were very enthusiastic and said we'd love to do this are we talking about the clubs that meet in the house now? starting with the house but also clubs that you're members of you know we've got a community of clubs Jeffrey yeah you can see whatever you want I have two questions do you know how the city of Longmont has made being like the 10th point on the library and can we have snippet in there? we can with some thought the one comment I had is that I'm under the impression the RFPS and major renovation in the house that we're going to step to windows and things like that and it seems like adding more people to juggle when space might not be available during construction could complicate things in ways that make a project more complicated because we're trying to work around my understanding is that there's a desire to keep the house as a functional venue as much as possible to not displace the firms that are already in here but still allow stretches of time for the workmen to do their work for their grant piece and I'm wondering if it might be something that if you guys would like to do do it at the tail end of the renovations and the grant stuff so that it both highlights the house as a fresh space and then you're able to actually bring them in without saying well in three months we're going to have to take a two week hiatus because there's an unexpected I just want to that's a great point so here's the thought what if we we more do the start this as an initiative and get putting feelers out to figure out when and when we put it as a projected point after the renovations are done where we set this up to be I think it's a great point that we have this as a target as one of the things we do after the grant yeah thank you very much I appreciate that and it typically been done in February because it seems to have been a good slow month so potentially not this time of the year but maybe the following that night so we can start with the feelers out so at this point I'm wondering if we don't table this till January to discuss in January that we then move this out as a projected item to occur after renovations I think that would be a delightful way to keep it in particular but still maybe talk to some people if you're involved in a club or and maybe just ask if that would be a possibility or an interest to know that they would still like to do so we're just contemplating so could I get a motion to table it until January end of that I'm going to put the club up there each item or leave it can I get a second second all in favor okay so be it all right moving on to the Callahan House Advisory Board Annual Report to the City I don't understand basically I was just going to say that we need to take a date in September because September is just getting active isn't it on which we could possibly meet and and discuss the report more about ladies it's basically the three of us Connie and Karen and yeah that's what I meant if the other Karen can I read I looked at Karen and saw her eyes so she was talking about it so looking at your calendars ladies what would be a good time to possibly meet in September I'm going to be gone from the 9th to the 14th for that trip to January so here's my do you want to do it in October would that be a better month for you I it would probably be better for me I've got some other things I know a lot of you have some other things in October it's pretty open could we try for sometime in the first week the I'm sorry October school the second week it would be the second through the 8th sometime that week that we could possibly work in time the second could be about the time that first week October could we do something on the third week the third week I'm pretty much open on that week the 17th through the 21st what would be a good day do it on the 17th do it on the 17th okay is that a possibility that we could possibly do it here at the house or do we need to have a different location I'm going to be out of town okay can we meet at my home please if you met on Tuesday there's a club in the house from 10 to 2 Wednesday there's a club in the house all afternoon I can do Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday or Wednesday actually would be better cause I'll be just getting back on the 16th so let's go for Tuesday yeah what time is the club 10 to 2 10 to 2 in there meeting upstairs so could we meet here I've had 10 10 on Tuesday 18 okay okay thank you ladies okay so we'll go ahead and do that at that time moving on to other business the Stanley House Museum I toured it recently it was built in 2004 it's pretty amazing the restoration projects are undergoing they have a million dollar grant from historic society they're working with but it looks amazing anyway so I asked the executive director cause he was my tour guide I was the only one on the tour I was like this is great so it was a wonderful tour it is a two hour tour just for you though it really is it's a five minute drive to the house it's just a quarter of a mile west of the Stanley Hotel but no guests can just drive up to it it's the thing with the city of Estes Park and the arrangement they made for work but I asked him if it would be possible to arrange a kind of group tour for one members if you all would like to do that he said absolutely I wanted to see if that was of interest to anyone also then I will certainly make an arrangement but I would love to know your preference on things they do Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday so just no Monday is this a thing that we could do in Estes a field tour from the spring is this something that we could do in the spring I'm kind of buried this fall what can you do yeah yeah but it's really cool and that is interesting and a lot of the restoration what's that they're doing is very parallel with what we're doing so requesters that was helping to recent to the dynamic of that project anyway thank you so much Karen is it a possibility that we could put it on our calendar to do in the spring and do a board road trip can we just discuss that in January yes that would be great so we can add that to the for future in general I know are you using your card for board vision I think that might be a volunteer so I'm not sure this is just personal okay so can I ask real quick would it be okay to reciprocate can we offer an opportunity to come to our house for Sheridan and his volunteer or I think that's a great opportunity anything that we could collaborate on yeah I know a gentleman his name is Tripp who works at this family and also a different family he may be interested in joining us and having a tour coming to here for a tour wonderful but at the same time the hotel not the museum I don't know obviously but that's okay the special thing about the museum is it's very much like us primarily in volunteer work okay moving forward the continuation of the board retreat agenda we voted on that that we're going to be working on the agenda and I think that's what we need to be doing but because the agenda is big I think we need to take a vote on exactly what we're going to be working on each meeting that way it's not overwhelming that way we can get to it and we can do it in an orderly fashion I'd like to be able to break it down now that's just my suggestion as board members can decide how you would like to do it but it seems to me that we take it in snippets and try to work on it in sections so we can actually get what was accomplished so we can get it accomplished period from going and looking at the the minutes the discussion was concluded at the article of officers and bylaws it was agreed that we should finish this discussion on the bylaws at the next meeting so looking at it we should be starting with the bylaws the article for officers right so if there's a correction in something and if I'm getting it muddled please let me know but we have this is basically all the documentation of what we were trying to get done in going through so I think we take it in snippets what is it I think you put yeah I was going to say if we're going to be doing this during regular meetings which is unusual then yeah snippets is less than we can do I think it makes sense I thought that was kind of what you said a little bit more organized each time I wanted to clarify that's where we're at because I wasn't sure of that let's do a clarification so the next meeting we'll be looking at this and maybe stick it higher up in the agenda so we get to the appropriate title that's kind of where I'm at I would like to take it a snippet of time and work on it so at this meeting I would like to decide exactly what we're working on at the next meeting why don't we just do our four officers A, B, and C that's it I don't need my equipment okay I would hope that's a small move not to chew I think we're kind of long in the tooth at the moment I'd like to bring the meeting so for the next meeting what I need to I would like to see a emotion that feeds with items that we will cover at the next meeting so I knew that we in new business of the next meeting we address article 4 officers A, B, and C A, B, and C second all in favor okay therefore that's exactly what we'll do guys we're going to move that up and then we'll get working on it we're going to put in a new business is it new business or is it old business because technically well it's just not regular meeting the business so it doesn't matter yeah okay I just don't if we're going to ever get it accomplished I think we need to get it moved up so we can get it done if it keeps on falling under old business we're never going to get it completed I would suggest that we get it under old business because this is old business that we're trying to get it accomplished okay okay so we've had a vote on that moving forward on to future agenda items 2023 open houses we're going to set those in January I kept this little fire because it's helpful it reminds us of the concerts at 4th and Kinbarg and then I also wrote down we have there's concerts on Wednesdays at Little Mountain Museum and then also at the mall and then on Thursdays there's concerts at Rocking Hill so just make little notes so I can keep it for when we're talking about in January when we should plan our open houses but try and keep away from competing with us I think that's a great idea and again one of the things that I heard very much from the public was why do we not have more open houses not with other events going on just an open house I think they want to see the houses so is there any discussion, more discussion on that item okay moving on to adjournment okay we are officially adjourned thank you ladies appreciate all your time thank you
