homes on display with pasteries and beverages at each

an Artwalk weekend and focus it arould Lincoln Park and the homes in that
area

allure

of the year
2) K. Bulava will create a doodle poll and then ask S. Catania to check
out/take pictures of the top three locations

approved the minutes.
" Update on website - progress since our last meeting
1) M. Davis provided the committee's commentary to the designers
" Fundraising Calendar - update on photos; vote?
1) Robert, who is part owner of Duda Gallery, said he found that dates
need to be set 1 year in advance for arts venues to be taken seriously.
2) Robert asked how the scope of events had been determined and the Tremont/TWDC
centric approach was explained.
3) S. Coy presented photos and noted disappointment in the available selection
(some were non-sale photos)
4) M. Davis asked for price points and K. Bulava said she could resend
original quotes
5) All agreed that price point vs. profit margin is very small, especially
when time spent on the project is incorporated.
6) Concept was floated and committee agreed to replace the calendar with
another fundraising option
7) M. Davis presented on ibuyneo.com. There is no cost to TWDC. People
can by a card and indicated TWDC as the non-profit to benefit. TWDC would
need to sell the cards. If local businesses profit, it's more likely that
TWDC will be a bigger benefactor. M. Davis wants to host a kick-off meeting
with businesses to advertise the concept. She will email the committee
more information as she gets it.
" T-Shirt sales opportunity
1) M. Davis has not made it in to talk to Allison about selling in her
store.
2) The shirts are advertised in Inside Tremont
3) The committee suggested reaching out to Banyan Tree, The Gentleman's
Barbershop and Razor's Edge to sell t-shirts as well
4) The shirts are not a big money making item and need to be changed every
year
5) Robert suggested an artist's competition to make the design and he
may be able to help develop the concept.
" Arts and Cocktails
1) Auctioneer - J. Cimperman agreed. We will still need a professional
auctioneer (cost $250 - $500). S. Smith knows someone and will reach out.
2) Gospel Press has indicated they would be willing to host (Cimperman
and K. Bulava did initial outreach). K. Bulava will contact Mryl about
a tour for the committee.
3) S. Coy made calls but found churches were generally difficult and required
catering and did not allow, for the most part, liquor. All churches are
costly.
4) K. Bulava reviewed completed list: Bill Amato as DJ; Cimperman as celebrity
auctioneer; ask to board made for items and $; request for items and assistance
made monthly in Inside Tremont; Dana Depew has been contacted for a list
of artists and agreed to supply.
5) People are needed to set up and break down.
6) S. Smith said a location needed to be cemented before more work could
be done
7) We will start to contact people in January for donations, etc - the
Board should be asked for contacts
8) K Bulava will look into getting something from Detroit Shoreway (sent
email on 12-8-09).

(3) as for a module that lets anyone "add an event" to the calendar

" Committee Role
1) The bylaw proposal morphs the committee into the "development"
committee, responsible for planning events, fundraising, and education/outreach
2) Regardless of whether the bylaws pass, the committee can adopt these
general directives as focal points
3) Once the committee grows in size, "sub-committees" can be
formed so that people can focus the majority of their attention on one
of the three overarching directives
" TWDC Needs (still a part of committee Role)

responsibility of the separate groups that take charge of those events
5) TWDC's events include (1) Arts & Cocktails; (2) Taste of Tremont;

Cultural Festival (contracted event planner); Farmer's Market (TWDC program);
ArtWalk (fiscal agent); and Tremont Trek (fiscal agent)
6) Traditionally, any money goes back into these events, except for Arts
& Cocktails, which goes back into TWDC
7) Board Participation extends to Taste of Tremont, Arts & Cocktails
and Arts & Culture
8) The marketing committee will take the responsibility for surveying
businesses in the area to determine is events increase or otherwise impact
business after every event
9) The committee will work with Michelle on an outline schedule of all
events so that the committee may provide input into strategic planning
on each of them - the day-to-day stuff should be left to TWDC
10) The committee will remain completely responsible for planning Arts
& Cocktails and the event will be on the agenda each month
11) Arts & Cocktails, will remain generally "Arts & Cocktails"
this upcoming year
12) Once a full attempt to do this event "right" has been made,
the committee can reevaluate whether this event should remain the annual
TWDC fundraiser
" Arts & Cocktails
1) There is some hesitation from Asterisk about the same level of participation
again
2) Discussion about space - Gospel Press was best concept to surface
3) Anyone who has any data/lists of vendors, items, etc, should bring
them to the next marketing meeting
4) We need to start collecting silent auction items now
5) Offerings need to be diversified to attract a variety of people to
attend
6) Tickets should be at $25 to $30
7) Can we feature a band (local if possible and more background music)
" Bylaw committee proposal

Arts & Cocktails Review
In
general Art and Cocktails ticket sales and silent auction netted an equal
amount to last year's event. Unfortunately sponsorship was down this year.

should look like next year, what our fundraising goal is for the event
and how to get more participation from the board in making it a greater
success.
2.
Taste of Tremont Update
The
committee hopes to have Amy Pappas at next meeting to discuss committee's
assistance in marketing the event.

1.
Kevin Montgomery, Market Development Executive from WOIO 19/WUAB 43 presented
two different proposals to the committee for developing Commercials for
Tremont Businesses and Tremont in general. He presented the packages as
affordable commercials for small businesses. He has developed packages
like this for other Chamber of Commerce's in the area. He would need at
least 19 businesses to participate in either the "Red" package
($500 per business) or "Green" package ($1,000 per business).
The funds would go towards the spots on TV, and the commercials would
be produced for free. This would also include splash pages on their website.
The commercials reach about 54% of NE Ohio's viewing audience, which is
about 1.5 million people. Kevin agreed to attend LRP/ED on February 5th.
2. No Update on Taste of Tremont
3. Inside Tremont ad rates were presented to the committee. Although we
came up with a fee schedule that was considerably less than other cdc
newsletters, the committee felt the prices were too big of a jump from
our old rates. The committee worked out the new fee schedule to be sent
to advertisers later this week.
4. The 2009 Calendar looks great. The Committee will continue to proof
the document until printing before the Annual Meeting.

Group
looked over list of sponsors and auction prizes. It was decided that more
auction prizes are needed, and Lynn said she would follow up on some leads.
Sponsorships are 100 percent greater than what was budgeted, thanks to
hustling from Sammy, Stephen and other board and staff members.
Decorations
were discussed - group decided that a lot of decoration was unnecessary
because gambling tables and slot machines will act as decor. Table decorations
will be utilized and were discussed.
Sammy
said he would check with Sister Corita about her crew for night of the
event and when they can set up the food from Sokolowskis. Set up for event
will take place on Thursday.
All
board members will be asked to volunteer to help out on the evening of
the event. Number of volunteers for bingo, liquor basket, sideboards,
50/50 raffle and auctions were determined, as well as numbers of greeters,
cashiers and hosts/hostesses.
Times
to start raffles, gaming, buffet line and auction were determined.
Sammy
will call Gray's to ask about availability and price of parking lots for
event.
