Meeting was called to order at 6:35pm, Shirley Hyer made a motion and Tina Novotny 2nd the motion.

 

Old Business:

 

Mini Grants: We submitted six, that anyone could take a look at. We were told that we had the best presentation of all that were submitted.

 

Linda Boehlen has announced that she was looking for any information on if we needed a special permit to show a free movie for the movie in the park event, and Maydee Xiong suggest to contact Megan Popkey with NWTC. She is the student life coordinator and they do a “drive in” type of event each year, and she would be the best person that would be able to help answer any questions based on her past experience.

 

Newsletter: Steve Boehlen announced that he had dropped the newsletter off with the city on Monday evening, but due to system issues with the printers they did not have them finished. He is hoping to be able to pick them up on Friday March 14th. Tina Novotny volunteered to help fold and seal.

 

Steve also wanted to bring the idea of adding two pages to the newsletter. There were two articles that we had to bump and he is looking to be able to add more months to the event calendar as well. The question of price of printing and postage came up, and Steve Boehlen will look more into that and bring what he finds to the meeting in April.

 

Bull Frogs Night: The date that was chosen for the Neighborhood Night is going to be July 20th for the 5:05pm game. The reason is that they will be giving away batting gloves and a free meal of a hotdog and a soda to kids under the age of 12. We will need to be at the field at 4:30pm. The money will be due by May 30, 2008; flyer drop will be done in April and in May.

Also the idea of setting up a table and selling the tickets at the at the meeting in May was proposed and it was decided that we will have a short meeting at 6:30 and then open the table for sales at 7:00pm. Also we are going to invite Casey to be there for the sale as well.

Also the idea was posed to talk to the guidance councilors of Nicolet, Anne Sullivan and Washington to see if we can find a few families that would qualify for help with the tickets. The Neighborhood Association would set aside $100 or so depending on the number of families.

 

New Business:

Welcome Committee; we came up with 5 or 6 new families that we are aware of that have now moved into the neighborhood. Steve Boehlen wants to have a few people make up some welcome baskets and have them make contact with these new neighbors. The baskets would have a Green Bay guide, gift cards from Gokeys and The Asian American Cafι, a phone list of the board members and the business.

Shirley Hyer and Judy White volunteered to be the welcome committee. Steve Boehlen would like to make sure that we get the address so that we can add them to the mailing lists. Another suggestion was that Steve Boehlen look to see if he can find key chains or flashlights to add to the baskets as well.

 

Alderman & Municipal Judge debate is going to be on 3/21/08 at 6:pm at the Neighbor Works building on the corner of Jackson and Chicago St. Steve Boehlen is only waiting on one judge to confirm for the debate. We are going to print up the fliers and fold them into the newsletter to save on the postage.

 

 

Announcements:

Steve Boehlen would like to look into moving the Meeting to a new place. Sometimes it is hard for Sandy to have the room set up, and if we have a last minute meeting it can be difficult to get in the room. He has talked to John Hopfensperger about using one of the conference rooms, and is waiting for him to come back from a trip about making arrangements.  He talked to Pomps and they told him that they gutted the offices in there to make room for more warehouse space. This way we would have a bigger room the annual meeting.

 

Tina Novotny made a motion to end the meeting and Shirley Hyer 2nd. Meeting ended at 8:35pm
