 Also, that makes it equally accessible by all staff that work with Calhan House so they don't necessarily have to be at one particular computer to get specific files, you can do it, it's a cloud based system. So, then we have access to files, I have access to files, the new Calhan House manager would have access to files, you know, so it's not just stuck in one location. And we also, the other exciting part that I appreciate more for our staff is that we have a Calhan House calendar. So now, something that when Ben was looking at doing some things here which we'll talk about later, he's able to look at the calendar and see it's okay to do it on this day because there's things not happening or are happening. So, we're just really appreciating the internal workflow and it is a transition for Betsy and Jacqueline, you know, because the rest of the city has been this transition a few years ago with a lot of kicking and screaming. And so, I can be very sympathetic to where they're at right now because it's a different, it is different, but it's working very well and I'm just really pleased with how they're doing with that. Anyway, I'm just excited to have one email. Can I ask you what this email is? Callahan at Longmont, Colorado. And Longmont, Colorado is all spelled out somehow together like Ben's email at the top of the board meeting. And that's the email we'll use for now on? Then, if we want to get a hold of you? The house, yeah, in general. So, we'll be transitioning to that with the boards and the groups, inquiries. If someone calls and leaves a message on the phone, an email is sent with that voice message to Callahan at Longmont, Colorado.gov. So, it just makes us able to be more responsive without... So, who all has access to this email? And Ben and Jacqueline and Betsy? Betsy, yes. If you want to get a hold of us, just... Yeah, okay. Well, we know that if we send an email, we'll look for people to see it. Okay. I can't guarantee a quick question. Is that calendar going to be shared with us because we can put it up directly on our calendars? Is that something that we can do? I don't know on that one. I'll have to check. Not that we could change it or anything, but if we're included on the calendar, then we can update our own calendars quickly on our phones. Or no, when our dates are set for our walk or other events or anything like that. Okay. We can look at that. Now, I don't know, I'll be honest. I'm not sure if this is a calendar yet that we would have out beyond an internal one. I don't know, but I think it's a really good question. I don't see it. I don't see a reason we couldn't have construction stuff on there and things like that where you guys could see it. Yeah. I think it sounds like a good idea, but I think let her and I vet that out. Okay. At the very least, if we have access to see it, just look at it. Yeah. I don't know how to get it. I think it's a good idea. Let's think about it a little bit. All this stuff. Well, I know in the past, our meetings have always been like RSVP for all the meetings and whatever else they may have just come in. And we can then get it and it goes on our calendar on phones and it's good. Gotcha. For the meetings? Meetings, anything for any of the extra levels. Meeting our presence or attention. Yeah. Such as working on projects or decorating for Christmas or any of that kind of stuff. And then if I understand you correctly, you're saying like, if I, in the guys at Callahan at lawnmontcolorado.gov, invite the board to meetings, such as our regular board meetings. Right. Invite it to the scheduled activities that you guys have decided upon. Then we can send those invites out to you and then those will upload to your calendar. Is that what you're... That's fine. Okay. I apologize. No, no, that's okay. That's, that I was thinking, is this all going to be incorporated within that calendar? We can do that. Right. Works for the treasure. And so I know when it's... There's no need for us to know when the closing meeting or some of these schedules are a memorial service. Right. No, no, no. We don't need to know that. No, no. And that's where I'm wondering how deep our this calendar will go. I think it's a meeting invite from the calendar. Okay. The calendar and the calendar. That makes more sense. That's exactly what I'm saying. Well, it seems like even if it's something that doesn't involve us that we don't have to do, we want to know what things are happening when if we're planning... That's true. To add visibility to events. I don't know if I want that all popping up in my traditional calendar. Yeah. You could go look at it. Yeah, I want to go look at it. I don't know if that would be good. I can do that. I don't know about that. As far as that though, can we access it to look at it? That's what I'm talking about. That's because like construction. Sure. Okay. This is starting to... And I'm sorry to muddy the waters. I tend to. I don't need to. Well, these are muddy waters and we're figuring stuff out so that that's a good idea. And I have thought about it. I think it's an excellent idea. Thank you. I agree. So moving forward, we are reviewing job description right now. We have several things going on in recreation right now. Well, lots of things, including feasibility study and master plan, which are going to be an extremely tight timeline for the feasibility study. That I am literally after this meeting, calling the consultant to set our first meeting and meeting to hit the ground very fast running to have this done by June. We can hand it to city council to be prepared for this bond that's planned for next November. So that that's going to be a lot of need and recreation in the next couple of months. And at the same time, we are... Well, I have to find what we're doing with my previous position. So we're having discussions about that. We are in interviews for a therapeutic recreation person, which is a combination between us and senior services. I'm very excited. Very, very fast for the city to have a therapeutic recreation person in my opinion. I'm proud of that because I've been fighting for that since the day I went over to the Memorial building. So we're super excited because we've got some good candidates for that. And this position, so we are reviewing job description. And we would look to post it as soon as we can and have it out for a few weeks and then start the process of hiring. And we'll do that as quickly as we can. I mean, I think our goal would be to have somebody here before summer time for sure. Sometimes the speed of the city is not speeding. But we've got the pieces in place to be able to put this forward and get things going. I don't know if we have it as another ticket item. Yeah, we do. I guess we're talking about the product. Well, I guess linked to this, we are pulling back right now. Obviously, we don't have a house manager report. Take your grace on that for a bit here. We have the information. So we'll be able to read up. I can't tell you it's going to be in the exact form we've had. We're going to be looking at some adjustments. We'll be talking with you guys about that. Kathy, take great data. She took great data. So all of that stuff is in place. And everything looks good. We don't have any, there's no issues here right now, worry about. But we want to be able to continue to provide you guys with good information and look to do that as quickly as possible. I cannot guarantee we'll have that by April, but by May, I certainly would like to see us being able to update you guys better than we are right this minute. What am I missing? Oh, and so some of the things we've kind of taken a break on new reservations right now. We're reviewing any new reservations for here. We're looking at very cautiously both in the staffing aspect and we'll talk a little bit about the grant and a building aspect. So this is just going to be one of these years where we've got to be super cautious with this stuff. And once we get something, it's not like, you know, that's going to take some time. We're trying to be respectful that weddings are a big deal. And as we're just trying to keep it to small things, like a business meeting, like okay, we can work with a business meeting or like a request for two weeks from now, we're feeling pretty good about that. But the things that are huge and months in advance, we want this day at this time, we're like... We pulled off two of our advertising deals right now, which we can certainly be up and we choose to if we need to. Is that the wedding get wired or not? We pulled off those for the moment. It's just not, we don't need to fill our document right now. Which was always the plan. It's kind of always, I don't know that necessarily pulling off those was the plan right then, but it makes sense right now as we get this new person going. I always look at opportunity and whenever somebody leaves, we look at opportunity, how can we make adjustments, is the job fit exactly right, all of those things, it's an opportunity. And we're excited, we're excited. I mean, the stuff that's going on behind the scenes and nuts and bolts really gives this place up to speed with other things that are going in the city. It makes sense. Yeah, that's what I've got. Does anybody have any questions that I can, that I can't answer? We're talking about weddings already scheduled. Can you kind of just run them down? Prioritize. They're gratefully lumped in the sense that we did a wedding this month, in a few weeks. And we have some in June and July. We've had a nice kind of long gap from late July to early September with nothing currently scheduled. We're kind of trying to keep that reserved for a moment for some different things. Right. We're not thinking that we're going to have a gap anyway with the grant that we're going to be working on. Yeah. Yeah, we were always, we have always been discussing that we need to be cautious about the restrictions. But the ones we currently have, we're certainly prioritizing making sure, like you said, you can. We can adjust the business meeting by the way. We know what that means. That they need to happen, they need to come off. Yeah, we've planned it and we've made a commitment to do it. Just surviving that as of recently. Yes. I could say it is a big deal. The overs aren't. Right. Right. That's what you're just saying. A whole bunch in college. Right. I get it. Yeah. Yeah. Any other questions? No, I'd have been thanking you both for all the app store work that you're putting in. And thank you for getting, doing all the behind stuff. It's great. It's exciting. I mean, change is exciting. We're good at changing recreation. It's something that it's kind of our future. We don't get terribly set in our ways. We're always looking at whatever the next thing is and trying to make sure we're optimizing what we've got. I'm very excited about this year. I am. A new job. And we're hoping that we'll be voting this afternoon. Plus, there's plus, plus, plus. That's talking about my piece. But there's a lot to that. It's anybody who's read the articles about it. Or done the survey. It's done the survey. It's a, it was quite the survey. Parking record was not terribly fond of it. We didn't even put it. It's not like we're saying we have to do a big magazine. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get one vote. Okay. Yeah. So that's what we got. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, that was kind of a bombshell, but that was, thank you. So now we'll speak back up for old business. Which means perfectly to this. Yeah. Right. So unfortunately right this minute, we still can't really comment. Cause we do not have a contract. So that's, um, we had hoped to, we should have. Um, and I can't comment as to why. Um, I can just tell you guys that we're kind of frustrated right now, but we have some movement. We're not, we're not in, we don't feel like we're in a bad place. Um, sometimes these things just take longer than we would like them to. And, um, that's seeming to be the case right now. So I wish I could tell you guys more, but I am optimistic. We had some news this morning. Um, and we'll get, I hope, I hope very much that we have a contract by the time we meet again and we will be, we will hopefully have meetings where we are talking timelines and we can tell you guys about those and the plans. So I know that's frustrating. I wish I could say more near, you know, this close. And it should have been done by now. And it's not, it's not anybody in the city's fault, including, including Kathy. This is, this is entirely external. Um, but we're again, we're managing that. So I'm sorry for being able to speak, we're talking about contract. Contract for the, between a contractor and ourselves in the city to do the work. Um, and link to that. Did I have anything on the curve on here? Cause this would be okay. Okay. Any other questions on that? I can't, but I can, I can't answer. I'm a very open person. So who knows that I'm, I tell her almost every secret, but you know, this one I, and we're on camera. So I'm not to tell you any of her family's secrets, but you know, everybody knows that. Yeah, that's kind of why. We'll go that far. There you go. So just because based on the other business, and we know the summer is kind of open, you know, looking things. Um, do you give pretty good optimism that maybe some of these projects can start a very nice life. Like slight period. Yeah. That, that's it's certain. That's certain. That's been no longer. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, moving along. Um, the Callahan house advisory board and report to the city. I'm not sure who is your type. I brought copies because I, well, I just, I just thought, well, let me be prepared. Okay. So, but I, you know, I didn't have even got the land. Oh, you know what I mean. Oh, you see what? Well, I don't know why people are here. So I don't know where. Seven copies, I think. So, yes. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. Did I hear that? You're good. Yeah. I'm good. You're good to hear. Yeah. You're good. Yeah. You're good. All right, this is the report that's done every year. Correct, yes. And it is whose responsibility to file it? The chair. To prepare it, the board, the chairperson and board members prepare it along with the house manager's details from the house manager's reports. And then the other information that is what we need to ask of the house manager or the faculty to be included. And then the board reviews the draft, and that's what we're doing. And then once it's approved by the board, the chairperson signs it, and the house manager it has previously signed it. The chairperson for those years. Yeah, for those years. And the house manager almost signs it. The staff pays after it's signed it. And then it's submitted to the city clerk. And there's been a process that's not in the current way of packing these late last meeting. The only things that I was waiting on were the numbers. I had an email that kept me about asking these numbers and helping care. And then you're writing on that email. So the three of us hooked on it and finalized it. Because. But I don't count those numbers. So that's why you have question marks and highlights. And then this is probably the usage chart. We're missing a few QQs. We are missing a few QQs. And the bottom line is the reason why we did it this way is because it's the chair for those years that it's being submitted. And we're submitting for the years in which I was chair. And then the annual would go forward and do awards for this year following. Well, the reason, the person who is currently chairing this is like next year at this time, I won't be on the board anymore. So the current chairman of that next year will be signing it. And it should always be, this may be the case for next year. For this year and next year, I guess. But for the last three years. And since she's, yeah, but still a number of them. She was the chairperson for those years. And those years are holding up pretty well. But if it's a yearly report, it should be. It should be. But we're not going to be holding it out in a way. It shouldn't be. Yeah. You do your report. Ideally, but I mean, next year at this time, I won't be here to sign it. Well, ideally, in our bylaws, we have that. So as I'm saying, the current people in that place. So for this year, for 2023, let's be clear. For 2023, in our bylaws, we have that we're supposed to have our annual report done for the November board meeting so that the board members can review it in November and then present it to the clerk. And then hopefully in December is when the chairperson would be able, not only in November, be able to sign the report, but hopefully in December, if city council has room on their agenda to allow us to present at that time, then the chairperson will be presenting the report that was submitted through the clerk's office. Does that make sense? You've got anything to add? It's exceedingly like, this is the problem. So you would still be the chair when it's time to sign it? For 2023. Not just before December. Yeah. That's why I'm having my bylaws that way. The attention is to be by the close of the year that you were reporting on. So it's anything. It just happened with this one. We need to jump on getting the next one done. I mean, this is. Well, I think June might be, at the time, to have that on the agenda, just in the case of one. I know what I'm putting that on the agenda for June, that began to prepare. Well, yearly reports, very seldom, are completed in a year of the month. Exactly. They're always, yes, over a couple of months. So that's something you should plan on. You don't have the data. Yeah, you do, sir, until the next year. Normal business procedure to have last year's report next year. It's really why this kind of got killed. Yeah, so I think we should plan it. If I was going to be the final one, it'll be in January or February of the following year. And then we're going to have to vote to change that in the bylaws. So that's OK. Yeah. Yeah. So we should be able to stay on the agenda. But I also brought, let's meet the attachments that are referred to in here. I do have seven of them, so we've passed them along and shared them. This is just one. Just one, yeah. It's a whole new crowd. If you don't look through this report, you'll see the first document that it's in 2022 listing. It's a historic Solomon House, a piece of Loma's history. Marking brochure was updated, so you attached. That is what this is. It's a pink in color. A pink, you might remember up here. You may remember it. It's a pink color. This is the draft that I had, so that's what I printed because I thought it's the final that I had. So that's what I printed, but I don't have the pink one. So I just wanted to make sure everyone had the content. And then also the two new brochures that were created, where the Callaghan House self-guided tour and the Callaghan House guide historic restoration preservation is important. Now, the prior board members have those already, but didn't make copies for the Hindi and Brittany and Cindy because you were not here last time, so you would not ever see them. So we'll do this, to Hindi, Brittany, and Cindy. Everybody else has these? So Brittany, there are three documents in the way. So Brittany, Cindy, sorry, and then here's the third one. It's coming in the way of restoration and preservation. Brittany, Cindy, are these something you can usually print out? So do they have to well enhance these? The house that was printed for the open house then they're here. So these should now be in the new file system? Yes, so yeah, if they can be added to the new team's drive, that would be great because that's for everyone. The next thing is the room by room docents tour details that, of course, I just handed that document to you. So the three documents that were created last year. So that's under the, it's on page two in the bottom, under 2022, so you have the overview of recent years and then it goes through the basic years, 2020, 2021, 2022. These were the documents that are referred to in 2022. And then also in 2020, there's a QR code that was enhanced to include opportunity for visitors to donate. I mean, again, we made seven of those. So everyone has those. This is what is outside the doors, the external doors. And so that people who are visiting the grounds can scan the QR code to get to information about the house, and also have the opportunity to donate, which is well-added, which is one of the ways that you can receive your donation. That way, it gives you the opportunity to get to know people. So is this already up somewhere? It is. It's outside the front door. It's outside the original side of the door on the south. That's where it's here. So it is. Yeah. That's all. And then the rental rates for events that were increased to be consistent with market rates. You see attached to page document. I mean, seven copies of that, too. So everyone who has that. But previous board members last year received this last year. And it's been meeting minutes and incorporated in a meeting minutes from when the end was done. So this would be included in the fall record that would be turned in. This would be additional. These are attachments to this document. And some of us are returning half of them already. You all don't. I just wanted to make sure that we have brought copies sort of like to begin with. Yeah. I'm sure. Do you need one of these? OK. Oh, is there an extra one? Do you have one? I've got one of them. Oh. And the last documents that are referred to are the regular maintenance with the house manager. That's on page four. I'm sorry. It's on page four under 2020. The progress is so regular maintenance. And probably had put together the spreadsheet that included everything all up together into one. I broke it apart and made one for general maintenance. Oh, I'm sorry. Take one, and then one for restoration and preservation, because they are separate lists. And you'll see that, yes, they'll have future projects. And then you'll have currently in progress. So take a look at these. And how are they going to be put forward? Are they general maintenance first and then? Yeah, because it's just how it's listed in the full points under the 2020 goals. It just shows a list and shows to the council the list of maintenance things and general maintenance things that are being looked at or addressed or coming up to be looked at and addressed. And then the list of future restoration and preservation projects that are noted and aware of and are on the. How were these lists created? I created these two separate spreadsheets from the one spreadsheet that had everything included in it, that Happy had pulled together from what she had created and from the information that we had also contributed. So that was everybody, the board, and Happy. Brought a whole list of everything that we thought. And then some of it was redundant. And then others, we added it to it. And then Happy took all the information for the inspiration. So this is the same abrasion, just broken out. Yes. The information was broken out so that general maintenance, which is just regular maintenance issues are separate from historic restoration and preservation projects, which is part of the process. And then you'll see on the maintenance, you can see. I just left everything in the future. I don't know what anything is being in progress right now. So that might be a question for Jacqueline and Betsy, because they would know what maintenance is occurring here at the house. Maybe right? No. I don't know. I don't know. That would be us, you know, understanding what's happening. OK. Well, at least now, we're trying to get a replacement on the house. It's an auto house. It got delivered yesterday. It's an auto house. It's an auto house. It can't fit through the door. I have a plan. What happened at the new stove that was installed in 2022? It was not installed. We have a new stove that was not installed. Oh. Betsy, so we need to change that. Then I'll need to change that because Cathy reported that. But OK, let me change that. Pay for it. It's an auto house in Forest. We could just say new stove. Pay for it's there. New stove. I'm going to say instead of new stove wire for the kitchen was purchased. We'll just reword it. And that was 2022. That is all of the attachments that are in 32. This is a lot of information. I'm not so sure that we were hoping to move forward at the last meeting, but the numbers are where we're being held up. I thought overall, looking at this, it was pretty complete. We were just wanting to verify numbers. Is there any way that we can get those farm moves along? And then the sooner we can get this in, the better off we're going to be because it's so late already. Anyway, but Karen, myself, and the two parents, the two parents have been working diligently on this. And Karen has helped write everything. And the other Karen has done a tremendous amount of research. This is really impressive. You're covering so much territory. It's three years of the administration. It's true because I had no idea that that's what I was supposed to do. Well, they've been done since 2006, too. I believe I'm not aware of those files. When you sent your original email, I did know. Now I do know. You have an idea? Yeah, I do know. So I can get those to you by the end of the week. Now, the process of getting it before the council is one that I need to submit for to be on the agenda. Do you want me to look for... April's probably the earliest I can get. That's fine. Do you just want me to find the next available place that's there? That's fine. I think, as Mayor Patrick explained, I've seen all that happens as soon as the request has been and you submit it to City Clerk. Right. Then the City Clerk gets it to Harold, and he's... They're fine lines. They may choose when... I can fit in his agenda. Okay. So I can start that ball rolling, get the data to you, put the ball rolling, and then I can amend my submission because they're not looking at things a month ahead of time. They're doing it a little bit sooner, and I'll get the amended one in before they are. With the correction of the new stove, I don't know if we're... Is there any other things that anybody can see? I know this is a real long... I was going to say, people have not had the opportunity to read through this, and I don't think it's fair to spring in on people to vote on it today, and I might ask if it's okay that we come back to April's meeting and vote on it then. Does that seem like that would be time enough? I thought it was April's meeting and I don't think I can get it in before your meeting. No. So I think it makes sense to not try and push this to have everyone approve this meeting. I don't have a chance to read any of that. I thought... So Alhint said she was going to get it on the city council agenda. It's usually six weeks out. Okay, for April. So the sooner you get yourself moving, and I think we've got time to be a poodle before she would have it. So I don't think it's worth approval today. Later in the meeting, we can make adjustments for the army and any adjustments needed can be put into Bethesda now. Did I get that right then? It's going to be on April's city council. Does the city council meet once a month? Three times a month. So sometime in April. It'll be one of the later... Or early May. We want to make sure we meet. So we can read through this before the next meeting. Yes. Great. And then if you see anything, give us a shout out, please. Before the meeting? Yeah. Before so we can make adjustments. Okay. That's a beautiful report. Well, thank you, Maureen and Karen. Thank you, Karen. You guys have all started and I'm just... Before the annual board meeting. Yeah, so read through this. If you see some letters, you can say to them beforehand. And then you may go on to the next meeting. Yeah. Wait a minute, how does that work? How do you want us to communicate? I mean... Send it to... Sue Ellen. Do I let it call in here? Well, send it to the Gallion. The Gallion email. So that would read through it. If we approve it, send them an email? Well, no, no, no. Just if you have any questions. Corrections. If you see any corrections. We're not voting for them. So that would be before... What? Two days before the annual meeting? A week before the annual meeting? That would be ideal. If it's by a week before the new year, that's the new year. So that would be about... Yes. By April 5th. That's the 12th or 2nd one. Yeah. Can we get a copy then before the meeting? Oh, well... Any corrections? Yeah, that's the whole point. I think if any... You can put it in the packet. Come to me by the Wednesday before our Wednesday meeting, I can make those corrections and changes and then it can be submitted to be included in the packet that goes out. That would be great. And then we'd still have a primer to make any changes. Write our suggestions to Callahan. Yes. Okay, I was going to say, yeah, if you could just give me... Yeah. Yes. So Karen, me, good morning, and myself, please. Is there anything I want to report? Do you want to mention? Any other questions? I'm very excited. So are we all going to go to that meeting? We're all welcome to. You sure you guys on? I think everyone who can come should. I think it is a beautiful thing that every lady here gives you time and your efforts and your energy and your expertise. That way they see us. Volunteers. And they need to see us. I did hear from the mayor that she's sorry that she couldn't be at the meeting today. I just didn't want to look at her schedule. Otherwise she would have done it. So we'll find out later on which city council meeting this will be for that staff. Right. There are the meetings. Yeah, here's the meeting. Tuesday evening. Okay. So I guess we can move on to the next item, which is April 26th, open house. And I don't know will the recent changes affect that in any way? No. We're still ago. So is it going to be from 430 to 630? Yeah. Okay, so no changes then. Okay. So are we going to be here as volunteers to help? I'm sorry. Yeah. Who will actually be in charge? Will Jacqueline or Betsy be here too? I'll have one. Okay. And then the house members should we plan on? That would be up to you guys. We usually do. Yeah. Usually. So I think this would be just to continue with that. This is when this is when our docents guide becomes very helpful in thinking paper coverage. Yeah. And always split up. Yeah. I become an expert on that. Right. I'm sure the new board member is probably going to be named. Oh, name tags. Good idea. Yeah. We do have extras if you don't mind having a raw name. Right. I'm not sure. I have a nice label later. I can make a label. We can put it over the other name. You're right. I'm sorry. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. Yeah. Oh, nice. It's got an argument. Yeah. I'm sure. So we will probably go to the ones we will change who would probably not have these. We will go to the ones that we use in our operations, which are not nearly so complicated. We can actually make it look the same, use the picture and stuff and such. And then it's like a clear we print it and then it goes inside of a clear cover. Essentially, yes. And that way they can they're just like this magnetic. And not nearly so expensive. It's really hard to get stuff like this. Yeah, it is. I was so proud of that. Yeah. Oh, I have no idea. So I have something for a suggestion for content, for constant contact for the spring open. I'm going to hand it to you. I'm going to take one plus on. I'll hand these this way because that way it gets used for crystalline. And then I also made a proposed book. I think we can let me vote for something for all of us. I don't know. Or just a clip. Or just a clip. Or just find a way we can let them on the top and make it whatever I need. What purpose do you want? Do you remember how we did talk to each other? Anyone who wants to know about future events, upcoming events. We talked about doing a email box. This people would say, hey, I'd love to know what's coming up. Can you let me know? And so anyone who wants that, we can have them with their name or address number. We can have them on a group email that Sue Ellen would say communications to. But it's not something that's forced. It's only what you want to do. Only if they're interested in receiving. And again, language on here is what I wrote. If you would like to receive occasional email messages about upcoming events at Cali-N-M house, please provide your name, email address, and phone number. Thank you for joining us today. I'm going to do just this option. Is that the city managers with other departments? Do you have a mail chance? Please constant contact is our email blast of use. So there's just that one for Cali-N-M house. There's not at this time to create one is definitely acceptable and doable without a problem. See requests that I made the board is to provide the content. Gotcha. I make up a lot of things. Thanks. I like playing in school with recreation. She's so honest. I appreciate that. That was on phone too. Anyway, I would prefer to have your knowledge next for T6 up than what you would like to say. And how often right now the bar is low at zero. So wherever you want to get from there is up to you. Does it kind of look like the golf course last? Yeah. It's coming through Facebook. Is that how? More of what we do weekly on constant contact. That's what we do in recreation. I would think he has a lot of work. I don't know that you guys want to do a regular thing. That way it grabs people's attention. Exactly. Otherwise it just becomes bar walk. The open house. The Christmas. I was just curious if that would be the same. Yeah. It's kind of similar, but it's on the stick. But it's only like four, five. Not on a weekly thing. Just as something's coming up. Can I get this? Yes, I can email you. A soft copy. I just wanted everyone to have the opportunity to read this and see if it was acceptable. Yes. So if we know somebody who may not be or might be on it, we just submit they're at. Yeah. That way they get it. That's how we're going to register. What do we always read with paper? Yeah. This is just trying to support that. I'm very excited and I like the wording on the constant context. Right. And again, thank you for doing all this. Yes. This is not much of a question. Yeah. And I got super excited about his idea. And so, I thought, well, I'm going to go online and see what I can find. Hi. It's a nice donation box. It does lock. I haven't opened it or anything like that, but the keys are in there. And I think it's from me my charity box. I think it's the same box that I didn't get a close up look at the box that we currently have. It's very similar. It has a slit at the top. The lock is here. And this back piece, which I'm going to go ahead and unwrap now just so that we can look at it, is a display holder and also the back side, the lock. That's so cool. So basically, this is a fun little goodie. Depending on how you want to slide it, if you don't want to put in a thing, you could put it up against the table and have it hold it in place before you could that's so cool. All right, so the back is open until you slide it. So depending on how you slide it, it could either be on the bottom and hold it up against the table. I don't think so. Yeah, this is my orientation. Yeah. I apologize. It just slides right down there and then the lock it's to the little tabby in the back of the case. And this would hold any display thing. This kind of display if you'd like to donate to the restoration and preservation of Callaghanos. I'll also put the QR code on this in case people don't have cash. Because people like my daughter never carry cash but they will do the QR code. Which I don't use to paper under here. You have to tape it. I think a simple little piece of like painter's tape or something like that. But this isn't obnoxious or anything. No, because the others we looked at were like you give me. And it's not too small so people can't pluck something out of it, right? Well, like I think this is where the little girl helped herself to apply it. But I think it's just being enough to potentially consider it on the table on the front and the biggest concern was that it needed to be attended. Someone would be in the front room anyway and so a boy could be kind of standing near or fly. That's great. Very nice, thank you. So now we have it ready for the next table. You're right on top of things. Maybe some artistic person can make it for you. Well, we can use the gate. I'll show you. It kind of winds into this but let me just show you. We can use this gate image that we have. Yeah, we use that pretty much. It's kind of our signature. We can use the gate image and then we can put some nice throat language, the QR code and then pretty much our donations. Very nice. Yeah, it's nicely done here. Anyway, I think it's exciting because now we can keep moving forward with the direction of the donations when people are here and we'll see what happens. And does the talent man house guest go into some kind of nice throat? That's what I was going to ask. She said look forward, but I don't know what to do. We'll start there and then decide. It'd be nice if it was very nice. This has been bigger. Something a little more elegant. Like an old guest book. Those are hard. Okay, my brother and I just passed away a week ago and I know that I was looking really hard for a guest book and they're hard to come up with. So that our wedding oriented. Do we want if people look around and take a picture of something you see and maybe at the next meeting we can compare notes and decide if Amazon might have some or some of the Michaels or something. Amazon is going to be my go-to. We'll throw that out. That's where we're going to go. Sort of my go-to place. Yeah, keep your eyes out and take a picture of one of those people. But if we could find one that we could add paper and remove paper from them. Yeah. So maybe if somebody had in their possession like an old really antique old one that they want the insights that they just want. But I have one but I kind of want what's inside of it. You guys are familiar with this is a proprietor. The idea is that you just take it out and you're done and you can put more. I like that. I like that idea. It's a good okay that could be a requirement. But then I could make it easier for to take pages out. Does that have a style type? Does it hold a pen too? It can. It's a Levenger. I don't care. I do like these. Everybody in the office knows it. Okay, what's that called? Those are perfect. Levenger is the style here. It's not as three ring. It's like that concept. Okay. It just came out 30% off this month. I was going to buy some durations. I'll just google it. Shows in the city for sure. You can also buy similar things at Stakers and at Office Max. It's just that it's the disc format. This is perfect. This is exactly the name. We have the function of the office. Exactly. So we can then print it. You've got the functions. Thank you, Simone. That's great. You're welcome. Do you mind? No, please do. Oh, you do. It's not me. I don't like ones. I think I need three more. And then I need somebody to go through all my stuff. Okay. So I think we've covered the annual reports and a few other things. That's okay. April 26th open house. We've talked about that. The Tee. Usually May we have a Tee for new and old informers. New and former board members. This year again I'm going to just throw it out there with the changes. Do we feel that we should have that or should we postpone it for a few months until it's settled? That was kind of labor intensive on the house manager. Yeah. It doesn't have to be actually the first one we did because it's a bit more simple than it can be. I'm throwing it out there for talk discussion. Can you my recommendation that let's talk about this in depth next month? We can put that together in a month. I think we can do that. I think we should be trying to do that. But let's see where we're at. We've got Jacqueline and Betsy are great and totally capable of doing some stuff on this. Jacqueline pretty much did it. We did the invitations and everything. I don't think it should be an issue. Let's have a live production. Very quickly. We know numbers in advance. It's not like we're doing having a live jazz band or you know doing dirt roles or anything like that. Can you just fill in a newcomer like you might have explained what it is in UGV? Yes. It's a brunch. It's on a Sunday and we have a brunch. And all the current members and former members of UGV are invited. It's just a tea. It's a brunch. It's a tea. We have some figurefruits and an elaborate tea and then we just visit with all the passport members. The mayor was invited. Yes. Let me try it again. It makes it visible. Is there a touch of date that you used in the past for that event? Yes. May 1st was last year and the prior was I think it was April. That was on a Sunday? We always do it on a Sunday. So it doesn't impose on any other functions that we could be having. There's no football. We did it last year. Is that right? I'm wondering if if we get all of it every year and whether it would be good to wait until some of the renovations were done and then make it a bigger deal and then the pictures of things that we're putting upstairs are probably good. I like that. Yes. We're kind of in limbo at the moment. So maybe it would be better to skip the year and then next year we do it upright and we have all these things to show off. So it gets to show off. That's a good point too. Actually, we don't have to skip the year because we don't have to have it on a spring. It was only last year that we had it in May 1st. The prior time that we did this was November 3rd, 2018. So we could do a fall date and by that time I didn't know November 3rd. Somewhere. So I think it's worth looking at doing in the fall and potentially in November. And then you have time to think about whether to actually do it based on how of a... Are we long enough to do this? Well, I think that I like the idea of making sure that it's an annual date. That's what we're looking at. The annual board date. Whether we move it to November or not, I think it's fine. I think the reason why we consider moving it to spring is because the gardens look better. Sure. But that being said... We didn't go out there. We didn't go out there. So the date can be... Yeah, it can be a fall date. I think we should table that for fall dates. And we also want to pick a date that we are not interfering with the revenue. Right. I didn't like to have David keep an eye on us Sunday, so we're not impeding anyone. We have that new person in place. That's fine, which will be really nice for them. We'll look at a future fall event. Can we do anything from September or October or November? Yeah. I'll make a motion. I move that we table the key discussion and put it into future agenda items. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Okay. Oh, just on a note. So that we know when to be putting it on the agenda. I think talking about it in June would be a good choice because while it doesn't take much to put together the labels or to write out the envelopes but it would be best and this was feedback from prior board members if we could give them more notice. We gave them I think a month's notice for the May. May is who would call it and talked with me and said I would love to be there but if I'd only known I would have saved that date. And so I think giving people more notice is going to be important. We should know exactly what time they should be. Right. So we're looking at discussing that in June. Yes, ma'am. Okay. So I guess let's see, I'm going to follow this. It was new business and looks like we've already touched on it but Ben any more on the oven? Yeah. So oven was in, it was being stored by golden band lines. It was delivered yesterday. They could not get it through the door. It would be close when we took the door off but the screws were clearly stripped. So we chose not to do that is in the auto house and my plan is to get it Columbine or a company like that to take the oven apart which it sounds grandiose but I think it's just taking this front piece out of there where the boards are setting it on top and it should give us enough room to get to the door first. That's my thought. And so hopefully that will happen soon. I've learned a whole lot about the alarm panel here at Columbine House. It sounds interesting. It was snowing and I was almost 11. So it's the alarm panel kind of went different. They don't do it this way that we have it. Call in the hand house they stopped doing it that way in 2012. What it is is the alarm panel and the fire are combined and fire and safety will take precedence over destruction property I guess. So the way that it is recommended beginning in 2013 is to have two separate systems so that they don't overwrite each other. They are independently communicating to the appropriate personnel to respond. With the historic house and additional electrical work I now know why people didn't do it. They're like this works. But we do have a request into facilities with the support of the alarm company that we contacted with to look at modernizing and updating that situation. But it's not happening next week. And we'll keep you guys up to date. So can the fire alarm and the fire and bird lary are on the same thing. They can overwrite each other. So what I mean by override is if we have a bird lary alarm but they start a fire they don't want them both. Well we want them both but the fire folks are going to come first instead of the fire. They prioritize based on safety. Not necessarily what's happening. Because it's just an alarm. You might have the wrong people coming to the wrong party. So the fireman and then the place or just the fireman period. If both are happening the fire would be dispatched first. For the fireman the fire people would be here and if there's an alarm police bird lary happening you probably want the police here first independently. They could be walking around the situation. But the way it is now it's going to fight. Don't both come. It overwrites it so that right now it says the problem with those companies. Right now it says it's an alarm code for the dorm. They're not going to send the fire for the alarm code. But if the alarm code is triggered and they do that and then something starts that would trigger the fire thing it just it's just a little muddle. And if one is broken they're both broken. Oh yeah. This way they can operate it. So you need to do that before you get the new range. That's not what you do with the new range. It's just an updating of an existing system that if one system is down the other one is fully operational instead of... I have very little information on what we have, the burglar alarm and the fire alarm. Are they each room wired? How will we set up here? So they would catch a burglar. They're motion censored and a lot of things are motion censored. Door is being opened. So the door of the windows? Are the windows on? No. They are interior. Yeah, once they're interior they have the movement. For example, if this is to make you this curtain moves it's going to set that up. The motion, okay. Do each room have a motion? And then fires your typical smoke alarms. There's no sprinkler. No, there is no sprinkler. Oh, that would be... That's enough. Yeah, that's enough. And the motion censored are very, very sensitive. So now when somebody comes when Jacqueline or Betsy come to set up for meeting date look at all. They have a specific code that will disarm. It's a specific code that will arm facilities since they're only unique code. You know who's to use. So if somebody had a key that maybe just came in or picked something up they would set up a code. Unless they have a code. And those codes change on a frequent basis. Interesting. Someone who actually has access to get into the house. I remember way, way way back when I first was on the board as chairman I had keys. Right now it's the facilities maintenance. They'll do walk-throughs on a regular basis. Especially when it's really cool to make sure that the building is doing well and the pipes are doing well. So they have access. Epistodial crew has access that is coming here. Betsy and Jacqueline and staff members that work here have codes. I have codes and that's it. Please we'll be able to put some fire in the house. I would imagine a firebox on the ground. That's the standard. So fire is going to there and then open up. Instead of breaking doors. Hopefully. Because it's usually not fire. Right. Have we had any calls? I don't think, I've got to word any. Besides you. Not, not, not, there's have been any real calls. All the stuff that's happened at the museum and at the church over here is the vandalism to the windows and stuff at the little white church on St. Stephen's. St. Stephen's thinking. They gratefully overlapped with this building. That's nice. Well any other comments on that? Moving along then Ben, you're kind of running this meeting today. Curving project. I was going on so here. So here's an interesting one. The the curbing the actual curbing on to the street on both sides appears to be the same poor as the you can look at it and there's there's a line in it that reflects and then the same color so the same poor as the original. The original. They are this year going to do work on the city as a part of a continuous city plan where they replace curbing, they update they fix edges of the road they were planning coming to my house next year but they're actually coming this year. And so the question is basically what is actually is a curb historic? Is a curb to a city street historic? That's really what it comes down to. I and so I will tell you that it's clear that the last time they paved and the last time they did this, when you go past the house you can see the more traditional where you get the curb and then the the gut is also connected. They didn't do that around the house last time. So that's kind of it's really I'm looking for what your guys opinion on the curbing itself, I'm not talking about the driveway just the curbing. The curbing itself. I'd like the curb to stay I'd like it to stay. I haven't looked at it for some reason. What condition is it in? Not terrible. I mean it's and if you guys have feedback, I mean you can just send me an email. My general opinion is leave it alone. That's my general opinion. It's not crumbling and cracked up. It certainly has cracks. It certainly has a few breaks. Clearly where the driveway is there's work but that's actually that section out here right on third is one of the targeted sections. For this project. So if that's your general opinion right now then that's what I would say. Maybe when it's nice I'll take a walk out there. Okay. It's actually in a nicer condition than the up front. They'll come around to this one too. In the city at some they may overwrite that. I mean they could but and they also have a request into the historic board. They talked about it and wanted your opinion. I was going to say when we were working on the grant I don't know if you remember but I contacted that city in Iowa and they have the oldest street in the United States and it's cement and I was asking them how they preserved it and but anyway they had they were going to tear it up basically and then somehow word got out that it was over a hundred years old and there was enough feedback that they chose to save it and it's very popular because they advertise it as the oldest street or we could actually do that. The oldest curb in the city. It turned into a a lot to the thing. And so there's something to think of there. Because little by little there won't be any of these regular things anymore. We need to save the curb. We need to save the curb. It sounds silly that's why but it is a part of it. It's real. I do have a question. It doesn't have any drainage problems does it? That's a good thing to know. Because if it has no drainage issues then it's not. Unfortunately like the driveway on the north has the water collection but the curb is sudden facing so some countries that it's probably why that's in as great a condition as it is considering that a curb is on the property. So I guess what I would ask is for a if the group wants to put a motion forth that we support leaving the curb in place as a historic item. Something along those lines. I move that we do so. All in favor? Aye. I knew that would be your answer. Thank you. That gives me the my backings as I go to them and say do something a little different. Stickers make sure. Change yourself out to the curb. I'm not sure if I'm cheating or something. Sit in on the curb. Arms linked on the curb. Thank you everybody. I appreciate that. I knew that's what the answer would be. I don't see it as being that bad. If it's falling apart I'd have a different thought but it's right now it's not. If it gets where it's probably maybe we could find a section of it that's real good and safe to head. After our whole process this year then I think we look at targeting the next process. One thing the gentleman in Iowa told me though is that they did an analysis on a concrete and it was much harder than current concrete. The rate was to down the composition so I had asked him if he could send me that but then I kind of didn't go for it because we decided to go with what we were going to do here with the contractor. I should see the wood in my house it's just awesome that wood is two by four. Two by four they were square and they were like concrete and they were so hard and it wasn't the analysis to study it from home. It was just three to four. It just shows the quality of work that we went into to stay and not be replaced. Alright that was all good. I think our next one is item eight future agenda. Future agenda items. Picture project. That was fun. I think we all were there. So well what I learned is to do a five by seven mat to include the cut out photo and cut out for the name photo but it's going to be more cost effective to go through Hobby Lobby than Michaels because at Hobby Lobby they'll charge ten dollars to cut custom frame for me just total. Michaels then will charge ten dollars for the five by seven frame with five dollars for the cut. That's why you can probably go into the Hobby Lobby to do the work. I do know about them and they do continue. We had a picture done with them. I love their work. But I do know that and we never discussed a budget but I want you to understand something that this was my idea and my push and so I purchased the frames that we brought. It's going to be perfect for the first three that we don't have photos of. We brought a couple of frames that are perfect for two that we don't have photos for and Brittany brought a frame that is perfect for most recent and the rest of them I went and purchased from Hobby Lobby. This is my gift to the house. The pain for the photos to be printed by Michaels camera and that's the boards that go inside the frames and that's all my cost to take. It's my gift to the house. It's what I wanted us to do for the history of the house. So please don't think that this is anything to do with the Calvin House budget. That being said I think this is incredibly generous. I still think that the amounts in total should be submitted as a gift. We have that. This is things that have been donated to the house so we have that for our records for grant purposes and other things that we have that's submitted in that you have done these gifts and that means each frame that yours and Annie's and everybody else Brittany's everything. We all collect them. They are beautiful. And so it's just beautiful. The group personally I don't think it's that much but it does all add up. When you're writing a grant and you're trying to figure out who's doing what, it's the little things that add up. I think overall the hanging system itself will be less than what I've said before which is fine but I'm excited about I'm excited about the fact that we're going to be able to get this done and it will be something that our big thing is we need to have somebody hang the hanging so that's going to be a good question. So the last meeting the question was can we get it come by our next meeting which would have been February but we'll need some help with that and in that I would urge actually when that's going to occur Maureen should probably be present for that she understands how the hanging system will need some spacers placed off of the wall to hold it out just beyond the current historic wooden hanging room. So it's my understanding that the system was sitting on the back porch. It's yours. I can't make any promises long time. But yeah I know it's there I think having you present or put that up I don't care if somebody else is here personally I'm broken whether I want to be there or not so the thing is I know you've got a lot on your plate we can meet everybody's got on their plate the unique things with that can be a challenge I will just say that I'm not saying it's not normal if it is just can I jump back to the keeping records of the donations do we have anything set up to do that is there any we could add it to the spreadsheet anything any kind of donation dollars it would have to be a line on a donation line somewhere where is a donation line something easy to get it because we probably won't do another grant for a couple of years so we can't be something we don't know about that we had so much fun with the last one but anyway it may be a couple of years before so it will be summer we can grab that information it would be ideally your order monetary donations that have already been submitted monetary donations so then it would be going forward but we can include it I guess when we are reporting that those in-kind donations can come to waste from internally among us and then also from the public in whichever way the information is shared it's either it's from the general public it probably would be on a manager's report and if it's internal then it would be coming from us during board meeting and we would need to put that in what the annual report to city council would be there's got to be something because I know that ladies have donated China and other items and we should have an accounting of them and all those items are we should have an accounting of like the donation box that you just did and all of that we should have a way to crack it somewhere level the best source of that information that I know of right now is because there are there are notes in there and pages in there showing past is right going forward that was the normal past we can't identify past kind donations and that way if we want to have a running list then we can do that but then going forward taking on the monthly report that we normally get and then that would be compiled into the year in so we can have an easy way and grab it that's the thought that's something we have to we can just I might suggest if it's not too much to ask the secretary and the I guess we can together create a list and then that list or that document would be shared and on that drive create a list of donations going forward going forward because it's my understanding that was all kept track when the board used to do inventory and the board hasn't done inventory for years so I don't know Kathy's done it in the future Kathy and Jacqueline now I understand these are the scrapbooks my head information is about donations yes I do know that the scrapbooks contain pages where they have the information of this person donated and one was specifically the tea set for example others with tea cups that others were other items throughout the house that have been donated so I can go back through them and create a historic list of which kind of donations I'll thought about it until 38 I wonder you might have to do that go completely clear about this like I said the board members used to do inventory there's got to be an inventory list while the inventory list exists it is not all I know that historic inventory lists that are also in the scrapbook do list the items but they do not identify on that inventory that donated by okay I apologize I don't know it's doable do we want to do we want to have this more organized going forward so do we need a motion or do we need to discuss it more and decide how maybe give us a group to decide how it should look going forward would it be an agenda item that someone presents the receipts for the board to to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of an in-kind donation then everybody would be aware of that donation the dollar value it's left on a spreadsheet somewhere so it's going to be in the minutes if you do it that way I like the way the surveillance presented then it's there and then hopefully my question is because I don't have we don't know what the books look like and I know that you're very too as you dig I'm sure there's somewhere there's got to be a line on this but is it possible to create a spreadsheet wherein and the secretary maintains that in the shared drive but the secretary because things are brought into the meeting and it's included in minutes then the secretary can then add that to that list it's kind of it's for a record the secretary is kind of the keeper of board related records because some donations may come in you know right, exactly so I'm thinking the house manager would basically not income but revenue or something I'm thinking the house manager and that and then it's just submitted on my house manager that's what I was thinking it would be easy to give so would there be an opportunity to give a dollar value to each of these income items it seems like there are do you say keep talking about grants is that one of the things that you do and a grant does indicate how much has been donated there was a question on there what kind of community support are you receiving so explaining yes explaining what the support was was part of it okay so I don't know that you didn't mention for that just tell the new house manager I think it's something that if you guys gather up what you know about right now just get it to us and we'll get something started and then we can put that on because I don't that would be I think it's a definition of house manager stuff that's house business the bottom line is we don't know if it doesn't already exist it might already exist but it would be a very good for us to be able to access it in two years from now we want to see it be the last five years and then we can just pull it that's right exactly let's go back to all the minutes as long as we can start it on a stretch yes there's one of my chinko I was going to say what an interesting thing to learn about well maybe not so much who but what they donated it's his wow you gotta figure out when the calligans left they left some furniture but most of this was donated I know those sofas chairs but there was a process for accepting donations verifying the time period that's an excellent question that's an excellent question in the scrapbooks it's just the board members taking that information because up until 1995 it was the board of directors and they ran the house but that's why a lot of it is in the scrapbooks that's how they document it and then show receipt of gifts for the new members I put the house manager used to be more housekeeper and she was just part time and she lived here and she wanted to and she was only paid a stipend she couldn't sell it she actually made money off the meetings by catering them herself it was different but you know progress can't do that alright so the pictures we talked about that sorry for the picture project I was wondering where we're at I was going to I was going to call and Katie provided a number via your sister I think and I was about to call and I was looking at the time for the ages she'd be 47 she'd say 19 when she was with me at Germany not that it's impossible I was young I was in her 20s so it's not impossible but she would have been 19 or 20 I haven't followed up I can also just call or she could be related potentially I want to get a phone call and then I'll try to the teacher that I know I want to give those to our collective force to discover Dr. Bowie Dr. Bowie Dr. Bowie I know thanks to your sister unfortunately Paula had to wait to make it really sad but it's amazing she found her she had to be married again so her name had changed she had a more recent picture of a much more recent picture that was great so I get this back I know by two years so is that going to be included in the picture I think the picture of Paula as we chose it yes she worked yes we had that because she showed her actually the buffet the only thing is I know she gave that long hair I don't know what she got she was so happy with her hair but she showed it alright so we've talked about past and present picture just briefly briefly we talked about the house manager picture project and now we're on that past and present we're members this is one thing I printed these out you can see kind of what they're going to look like and I know that they're there with me here and I think in part I can bring it back down to three but I think I need to get a legal size with just the red border so I don't know how to get that so if you could maybe help me with getting just because that's the image with what was the the Toronto Hall of Hands stationery and so I start with that and then I begin with the most current board members years and again remember we said let's set them out by decade which actually turned out to be ideal and then I went from 2010s to 2000s and then down to 1990s but I know that I can get more on a page with a full blank with just the red border legal size and then I put the gate on the top so it could be it'll be kind of more in line with across the way with the image of the house and kept with that from one page to the next except for the last page which has the very first board members the earliest board members on it and that's where I include the beautiful quotes from ladies about volunteering this will be placed in a it's going to be a custom frame so that it can hold legal size pages three to maybe four but could easily be taken off the wall as needed and update the list and print them out and place them in the frame back at home and I didn't anticipate there are 90 women who wanted to vote through the years and to gate off well I'm thinking I think what's pretty about what's pretty about the gate is that it ties in and like again this is this being more in line with that I will definitely be able to fill a lot more on the second half I think you're correct I think you can get it down to three pages and then once it's three pages visually if you look at it it will then eventually look like that I think that's pretty because it has the garden but the line would be but it's all so each of these would be lined? they're openings for each page but easy to interchange and change out this page has too much white space I can agree with Karen that I like it but maybe we can make it smaller either they put the picture the only reason I did that was you filled the space because it kind of kept it when you're looking at something that's in a frame and it's all going to be in line with that being said you'll see there's this common theme but you're going to have to read from it in a few years I was thinking more like it's a little long I personally like it I think I agree with Karen that we could bring a smaller and longest the framing of the red line is consistent with the other again we're talking we're going to mount it as well I think this is good and what it does enables us to we can add more names as need be we can change it out we can plot what Karen suggested because it just takes a great many space and if we do it in a it's open to change I think it's great and what's interesting too and it kind of knows the history if you look at it more closely you'll see where there are decades where I have a Mrs. W.Y. Atkinson for example in those times the one that we're referred to has things so the change really occurred in the 70s it went all the way up through the 60s and in some ways that change occurred I also like the volunteer for some quotes what do you guys think yeah especially what do you think what do you think it can be so there's less white space I don't know that I had a vision in my head to start with I was thinking just a long list I assumed it would be something we can adjust more easily but I don't know what that is and I'm afraid if you made it it would make you fall like that yeah see I I've reached it well here's a thought what if we took the quotes and put the quotes up top of the volunteerism and then we work with that let me re-figure a little bit more I think because of the trickiness I've only had I had this in the legal and Captain was in the legal so maybe he could send me the but there's a legal size just written border page so that and once I reconfigure it I think you all will like it and it will be very simple to and that's the key in pages where there's two columns this is easy to update compared to black you open up the bags you change it out but when you add to this one the names go down until they go on to that one and then they end up changing all but it's easy because when you go in and start to add the formatting pushes to the point and it honestly wants the format to be easy to easy where does this document live at so people can access it within the city new cloud system yay but will these be framed or so? I don't know about I don't know about I don't know about matted because that would make it a little more complicated with changing out so I'm thinking framed and properly placed and there will be a nice background okay I'm seeing it now it's hard to maybe what I could do is next time aside from just this example and so we're only changing out sheets I think I like the picture I would kind of get rid of that gait I think the gait is important the reason is because at a certain point the history is just more created that's just not okay this is plenty when going from one page to the next two weeks though to have something that would sort of connect the three pages together one being the image of the garden, the other being the image of the gait that was created I do like the image of the gait but maybe it can be small I can be, I can be that small it's easy, you just take the image and just that's the best compromise it's doable we're not on the wall with the house manager we're talking about the different location you might put the gait with the coats on the side of the gait on the side of the gait that way the gait's not sitting metal it takes up a siding grip attention to the coats I'm looking at formatting that to try and see if that can work the coats are all great but I'm not sure you need that many the reason I didn't need them is because they were the ones that were kept in place cards from the TV of last year and they're special because they're all women with the exception of the opera and then the last one and these are all special women so I think, can you share Anderson, Margaret, me, Elizabeth, I'm up with Mombeck, Anne Frank and Maya and Joel I understand, they're your favorites I know, but they're special because they're women and speaking on volunteerism international women there's a lot to be said it is international we have the coats just in a separate frame I'm not starting that we take up too much space they're nice just keep these as a separate with the gait I don't want to keep it separate from the names and names but not in the same races I think Karen's got a vision Karen's paying for it so Karen, go for it if I can work with it I want to take all of your feedback and let me rework some things and see if you're happy with that and then continue to rework until you're happy but I do think I think we can find something that's doing that is a thought what if we downsize this and put it next to the post that's what Ben was suggesting did I mishear that? I didn't hear that that's a great suggestion it's a good suggestion I'm sorry I didn't do that because it's a great suggestion let me try and pull some things together and come up with a message one thing was a way to take if some of this background could be enlarged and continued let's say just here and then this being white over the trees something so that or maybe you just have the clouds if you were in Photoshop and take something to get the clouds put that over it and then that takes that away and then maybe you only have three I'm just it's complicated brainstorm I appreciate the white lettering it's really hard to read it uses a lot of ink and all that black and a white would be hard because there's so much detail the point of that picture it is to tell it's historic you wouldn't want to do anything the picture I like the other keep it to our I think our overview Ben suggested I think I'm going to try and take this and put it on you I think it's honestly it's a work in progress it's a work in progress it's getting too much it's fun guys this is fun this is the fun part of studying you don't know a lot of bright things I don't know what I'm missing this part is fun I think it's cool I know you did think that it's going to be something that's been restored for a future I'm going to ask that we move club affair to next month there's a lot of stuff these are all preserved let's just move it forward again another month review of future house restoration because I think it's all moving forward yeah so one thing I want to comment on I'm going to we're going to add it to new business next time the format of the agenda is funky voice has been to some extent I'm going to bring something that we use at park and rec advisory board that I think is a little more fluid a little more functional don't have to do it but I want to bring it I'm going to put it as an item and send it out in the packet when you guys can look at it back and make some adjustments just being at both now the way that one is formatted I think it just allows for a little more fluidity and flexibility than this one one more future item I don't know if this should be on here or not maybe it's just something the city wants to is the gardens this year as far as I will give you a minor update flowers were ordered the lease was involved last year is a very similar order we did not get in touch with them fast enough or there was some miscommunication as far as our involvement we wanted to have a little more involvement than we did but it just happened and that's okay so it's a surprise what we get well it's very similar so I'm sure they try but oh we have agonias and I is it too late then to put in any special requests it is it's not too late to go to flower and well let's go I find a way to get things done when things are done we won't get it so I like brush it high on donations so for future reference for us to know if we wanted to make any suggestions that should be really done in January January or January I would maybe even before that maybe even at the end of the season yeah it's something it's a good idea it's a good idea so let's see how we go I'm sure it will be gorgeous she knows what she's doing they were pretty flowers there I think she's great I'm hoping that as far as the things that we get are more steps in stock I would hope this year as opposed to last year but I don't know we're working on it again I know it will look beautiful but the dendoms new ideas for it are things we might be able to do mainstream just a question is some percentage perennials and then you get perennials each year it would be really fun to take right now there are good perennials but there's areas where you want the burst of color that you get perennials so it's in the works and Anne has worked in the gardens so she did yeah it was our goal that was our goal we were involved without Kathy being available and we just missed the boat and again there was a little miscommunication from their end to ours okay that's the world it's really great it will continue to improve well for that when is the problem scheduled to be uncovered I would think that well I don't know really specifically the first stuff that's external would be mid-April oh yeah I didn't know it would be we opened up our bathrooms the first week of April second week of April so starting around then I don't know the exact time but I'm sure being as Kathy is not here that might slip away let me make sure we get all this okay let's have one other thing other business so in talking in my communication with Eric Mason about just asking how do I is it okay to include photo courtesy of the person's name when we have a photo provided like you know what we did recently and just include her name instead of photo courtesy of Loma that's suppose well photo courtesy of Loma times color that's applicable but when it's an individual a prior house manager providing a photo of doing state photo courtesy of the person he said yeah I think that's an excellent idea and the same message to him I also said hey on the minimum how are things going when planning the 2023 historic third as in walking tours and having fixed dates and he said yes I have tentative dates for spring walking tours so Wednesday June 14th at 10 a.m. Tuesday June 20th at 10 a.m. say it one more time 20th at 10 a.m. and Thursday June 22nd at 5 30 p.m. what side are these east side west side it's called it's called the historic third avenue tours but what he does do is he starts here at the County House and he goes west and so that's why he incorporates the house in that tour and where's the sign of this the museum does their own registration process and those sell out like hotcakes just do the gardens or do they actually come into the house they now come into the house because they previously can adjust the gardens and if I'm working in an art festival lots of talking there you know I know lots of people I've been on your tours I know lots of people are like you have to go into the house and I said would you like to bring them into the townhouse big old brand and he said if I can have just a little bit of time and I can have my whole tour and I said no no no but if we can arrange at the house to open the house so that you can bring them but we started doing it it's just a tour he usually has I think it's like 10 to 15 people on his tour and so Jacqueline Orbettsie would need to be here just to allow them in so he can see or Jacqueline Orbettsie or whoever can see but we can certainly hand them that too but it is win-win-win it's good for the house because it allows the community to come in on this very brief little historic tour that the museum has organized museum it is something to expand the tour a little bit by allowing to have them come into a historic house and then on the community gets a win it's a time that is very short, it's very brief but it's a time to come in and have a little tour around the house and then the rest of the historic tour is just something that we want to put on the email plus to some people this is all just this is run by the museum they're just included in is a historic third avenue walking tour and we don't need to start any more interest and I know why we take the house available because it's great, it's on two parts of the city, it's the highly announced museum and then the community the thing is I didn't know where to sign up for it so the museum this is information that we could verbally share with people it's just the summer brochure that's going to be directly on the household that's exactly the summer the first week in April so it is in there on the museum how long? is it like 10 minutes? 10 15 minutes max it is having just a 5-3 if we have to pay someone to be here is it 5-3 5-3 Thursday, June 22nd isn't that something that Eric arranged though? he normally once I got he and Kathy connected he normally would communicate with me and Kathy but he would coordinate with Kathy and Kathy would be here so I have that okay I mean if you need a little extra help that's it that's on video does anybody else want to break up in the future business? if we can put on a future agenda items our walk yes what did you say? our walk our walk it's September 1 definitely we should be talking about an open house too probably in May and again in September okay let's do that I'll put that on the agenda items yep is there anything else? can I get a motion to adjourn? I will get adjourned I'll second I'll let him know 3 and all in favor? I'll try bye
