Carlson Christine Kinlaw Best Janice Springfield Alicia Clarke, Museum Curator Absent: James Cara Janice Springfield, Chairman Bettye Smith Serena Fisher Patty Swann • Paul Hodgins Art Woodruff, Commission Liaison The meeting was called to order at 5:25 pm. There being no quorum, no official business was discussed. The members present commented that a note needs to added to the meeting notices requesting members to call the Museum if they are not able to attend a meeting. The members reminded Ms. Clarke that she needed to check with Jim Cara regarding his reappointment to the Board or to contact the potential members suggested at the January meeting. The Board members present decided to hold an informal brainstorming session to develop ideas for the Museum's 50 birthday celebration in February 2007. Mr. Carlson showed the members cartoons he had made of Henry Sanford. These could be used in advertising and on a brochure. It was noted that the number one priority should be a rack card for the Museum. It was also suggested that there be a rack card with information on all three Sanford area museums and the Zoo. Ms. Stinecipher suggested the staff produce a promotional booklet with a history of the • museum to be given away during the birthday year. It was also suggested the staff • contact the Sanford Herald about the possibility of having a special section in the newspaper for the week of February 6, 2007. Bench advertising was discussed. It was decided the marketing impact was not sufficient to justify the cost. Mr. Carlson said the Autotrain station has no signage to direct visitors to downtown and no brochure racks. Several members said the station was in poor condition. Mr. Carlson said the airport has high end brochure racks promoting Orlando attractions. Ms. Clarke said she would check with Jack Dow at the airport about receiving permission to place Museum advertising materials near the Navy exhibit in the baggage terminal. The date for the Museum's birthday party was set for the second weekend of February. Ms. Clarke will ask for City money to be budgeted to help fund the celebration. Local clubs will be contacted to participate and possibly run concessions. Arbor Day will be included in the celebration, maybe with a tree planting. The Board discussed the need for an "Open" sign that can be seen from the street. It was suggested to try a sandwich board on the front sidewalk or in front of the planters. A weatherproof sign that could be hung on the door and taken in at night was also mentioned. • Meeting adjourned at 6:30pm. • • Action List from April 2006 Advisory Board Meeting Find a replacement for member Jim Cara.
