April 5,2018 Present: Mary Scharf Andrew Knowles Terri Mulverhill Donna, Rovito Debbie Bonner Adam Soulia Sue LeVitre Called to order at 4:00 PM Mary told us that the building permit for the changes to the apartment had been turned in. We have 2 years to complete the project. The checking account for the Events Committee has been switched to North Franklin Credit Union. We have sold $250 worth of fuel raffle tickets so far. The resignation of Sean Curtain was confirmed. March minutes were reviewed. Donna made a motion to accept. Andrew seconded. Terri gave the financial report, we have $14,250.92 in our operating account and $7,968.56 in our events account. Right now we are in good financial shape. Sue stated we are getting new members almost weekly. The Sponsorship Tiers were discussed. Andrew suggested adding a marquee event for more money. It will be awarded to only one business. After some discussion, we decided to think about it some more and discuss it again at the Events Committee meeting. We looked at some shirts for getting the logo embroidered on. Discussed colors. Green will probably be it if we can get the logo to stand out enough on it. Donna had some more ideas for raffle events. These will be discussed further at the Events Committee meeting. Sue has asked for May 3rd off. She is looking for someone to cover the office. We need to find someone new for trash removal. If there is a member that does it, we will ask them first. If needed, we will do an RFP. Adam made a motion to adjourn. Debbie seconded it. The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 PM. Respectfully submitted, Debbie Bonner, Secretary Malone Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Meeting

We will get info out to the guidance counselors again so they can make the students aware of the opportunity. Adam talked about digitalizing our logo. He will speak to Industrial Press for prices etc. All of us like our current logo so we will not change it. Ideas for shirts, coffee mugs and other items were discussed. We received 6 RFP’s for our website. Chris talked to Brittany Taylor about the site and recommended that we wait for her to submit an RFP.
