SHOT GLASSES: WE AGREED TO SELL THEM FOR $1.00 EACH COOP WILL Coordinate THIS EFFORT.

 

EASY UP TARP: COOP WILL GET ONE BEFORE NEXT YEARS NATIONALS

 

PROMOTIONAL ITEMS: IN THE FUTURE WE WILL SHOW THE ART WORK TO THE HOST GROUP AND GET THEIR PERMISSION TO DISPLAY/SELL THEM.

 

OPEN MEETING:

THERE WERE APROX. 30 VANNERS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE OPEN MEETING WHEN WE OPENED IT TO ALL THE VANNERS. WE THANKED ALL FOR ATTENDING. THIS WAS THE LARGEST GROUP WE HAVE EVER HAD AT AN OPEN MEETING. MORE CAME AS THE MEETING WENT ON.

 

THREE RIVERS GAVE US SOME DETAILS ABOUT THEIR EVENT. 72 ARE PRE-REGISTERED.

THERE WILL BE NO PLACE TO WAIT IN LINE NEXT YEAR AND THE GATES WON' T OPEN- UNTIL 10 AM. PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY AS THERE IS NO PLACE TO PARK.

THEY WILL GET US INFO ON VAN RENTALS IN THE AREA. PITTSBURGH AIRPORT SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF VANS. CALL AHEAD.

THEY WILL KEEP THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES INFORMED ON WHAT IS GOING ON.

WATER AND ELEC. NOT ALL AREAS HAVE ELECTRIC. EACH VAN WILL NOT HAVE IT ' S OWN PLUG IN BUT THERE IS ENOUGH TO GO AROUND IF WE ALL CONSIDER EACH OTHER. POOLS WILL BE FILLED.

THE THEME WILL BE CHRISTMAS SO KEEP THOSE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS HANDY.

 

WE HAVE SENT THE LAWYER IN OHIO THE MONEY TO HAVE THE CHILICOTHE THREE RECORDS SEALED.

WE WERE ASKED ABOUT THE LINE UP AT THE FRONT·GATE HERE IN IL. IT JUST EVOLVED AND NO ONE INTENDED TO SLIGHT ANYONE IN THE WAY IT WAS DONE.  THE HOST GROUP (MAVI) WAS REQUESTED TO SET UP THE SITE BY THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

-

IT WAS NOTED BY SEVERAL IN ATTENDANCE THAT VANNERS ARE BEGINNING TO

EXPECT WAY TOOOOO MUCH AND DON'T SEEM TO BE PLEASED WITH WHAT EVER THE HOST GROUPS DOES NO MATTER HOW HARD AN EFFORT IS PUT FORTH.

 

 

WE MUST ALL REMEMBER TO COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE.

 

TRADE MARK. IT IS TIME TO SEND THE FEDS MONEY AND A LETTER SAYING WE STILL WANT TO KEEP THE TRADE MARK. THIS IS DONE BETWEEN THE 5-6 YEARS. LYNN WILL HANDLE THIS IN THE FALL. COOPERATED FEES WERE PAID.

 

THE SHOT GLASSES: IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT THE SHOT GLASSES SAID 1988 INSTEAD OF 1998. WE WILL TRY TO SELL THEM ANYWAY AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
