CITY OF NORTH OI.MSTED <br />CULTUREIL ACTIVITYES COMMISSION <br />MEETING MINUTES OF JANUARY 6, 2010 <br />ROLL CALL <br />Chair Yustick called the meeting to order at 6:45 p.m. at the North Olmsted Library. <br />Present: Gerald Yustick, Beverle Martindale, David Wahl, Barbara Brown, John <br />Kepperley <br />Absent: Faye Curry <br />Also Present: Lisa Nemeth of Northcoast Promotions <br />REVIEW AND CORRECTION OF MINUTES <br />Mr. Kepperley moved, seconded by Mr. Wahl, to approve the minutes of December 15, 2009, <br />which were approved 5-0. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />Holidav Lighting Contest 2009 <br />Mr. Yustick reported the awards were presented by Mayor O' Grady to two of the three families <br />on December 30. With only three entries, Mr. Wahl felt the response to the contest was_ <br />disappointing; there were many more entries last year. He would like to try it for one more year. <br />It is agreed more publicity and promotion is needed. Ms. Brown suggested using the records <br />from 2008 to invite past participants to enter again in 2010. Mr. Wahl felt asking the contestants <br />to submit their own photos worked well. <br />Christmas Festival at Old Town Hall <br />Mr. Kepperley reported the festival was not held. He asked Chelsea Schumann to assist with the <br />music but her schedule did not permit it. Ms. Martindale originally recommended the Christmas <br />Festival because when her family would come to visit most of the holiday events in the area had <br />already passed. She felt it would give local families an event to attend during the holidays. <br />Attendance was high the first year. The same plan was used the second year but only five <br />children were in attendance, although the Minimum Requirements performance was well <br />attended. Due to the lack of response after the first year, Ms. Martindale did not feel it was <br />worth the investment of time and money. Ms. Brown mentioned her church's choir would like to <br />participate in a caroling event, which could possibly be incorporated. <br />Juried Arts & Crafts Festiva12010 <br />Mr. Kepperley provided copies of a draft prospectus for review and comment; approximately <br />five hundred will be mailed. Ms. Brown recommended a note be included indicating the <br />restroom facilities are to be completed. Ms. Nemeth agreed a note that "Frostville now has <br />Historical Society-approved 21St Century plumbing" would be clever. Mr. Kepperley will add
