CITY OF NORTH OLMSTED <br />CULTURAL ACTIVITIES COMMISSION <br />MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 1, 2009 <br />ROLL CALL <br />Chair Yustick called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. at the North Olmsted Branch Library. <br />Present: Gerald Yustick, Beverle Martindale, David Wahl, John Kepperley, Faye Curry <br />Also Present: LCC Studerit Kelsey Farrell, Secretary Tricia Granfors <br />REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES <br />Mr. Kepperley moved, seconded by Ms. Martindale, to approve the minutes of March 4, 2009, <br />which were approved, 4-0. OLD BUSINESS', <br /> <br />2009 Juried Arts & Crafts Festival <br />Mr. Kepperley has received one application (from Jerry Yustick) and one inquiry. Lisa Nemeth <br />of North Coast Promotion said that, possibly due to economics, applications for all shows have <br />been coming in at a slower rate but by the dates of the events, participation has been full. A <br />reminder postcard will be sent in mid May. The Band and Orchestra Boosters will also sell <br />popcorn at the event as a fundraiser. Chelsea Schumann, Paul Schumann's daughter, has <br />requested the Bowling Green State University Arts Enterprise program be considered for <br />inclusion in the art show. The Arts Enterprise program seeks to encourage communication <br />between the worlds of arts and business, hone leadership skills, gain real-life career and business <br />experience, and heighten cultural awareness. The program seeks to meet these goals and raise <br />funds by planning an annual music festival using students from Bowling Green and local high <br />schools to form a diverse program of performers who would provide music for free at outdoor <br />festivals while raising funds through sponsors, donations, product sales, and other means. Mr. <br />Kepperley felt incorporating the entire package into the art show this year would not be possible. <br />Discussion will continue at the May meeting on including some facet of the program. <br />Mr. Kepperley will research the cost of updating the date on the art festival streetscape banners <br />and report to Planning Director Wenger. He has discussed with Mayor O'Grady the possibility <br />of placing banners on traffic signal poles and will continue to seek approval to do so. <br />Centennial of Villa2e of North Olmsted and Citv Schools <br />Tricia Granfors introduced ideas for Cultural Activities and Dover Players involvement in <br />commemorating the Village of North Olmsted Centennial at the Homecoming Festival in <br />August. She suggesfed members of Dover Players write, cast, and produce one or more short <br />skits based on events in the City's timeline to perform on or near the stage. Another idea is for a <br />large group of people dressed in various period costumes and props march in the parade. Both
