Directors Report:
1) The hard voted to consider selling the rights to some of the Conrad buffalo
photographs to Buffalo Mountain Development for a price of $3 to $4 hundred
per photo, providing we have in writing the plans for the photos. It was discussed
that maybe the development company could buy and give mansion memberships
with the sale of each lot, or to purchase mansion tickets to give to prospective
buyers.
2) The board agreed to set the first Wednesday of every month at 7:30A.M.aside for
board meetings. This will be effective starting November first, and we will try to
find a meeting room for the board meeting.
3) Kate needs help from some of the committees for a year end appeal for the
mansion. There should be three options for giving: Building fund, Garden fund,
or Membership. Rita & John agreed to help. --r,
4) We would like to get an artificial Christmas donated to the mansion.
5) A Children's Christmas event was discussed. We will try to have it on Dec. 22 at
the mansion from 4 to 6 P.M. for a cost of $10. per ticket. Hopefully, John
Lithgow or someone like him would read Christmas stories to the children.
6) A policy is in place regarding memorials to specific people on the mansion
grounds that says this will not be allowed. All donations in a persons name must
go to the garden or building fund.
