OLD BUSINESS
Chairman Racca informed the board that the letter nominating Noland Car
Company was sent to the Florida Department of Commerce. There was a
question as to whether the brochure was also mailed with the letter.
Chairman Racca is going to check and make sure this brochure was mailed.
Chairman Racca reported that Mrs. Baker did check with the Chamber of
Commerce regarding the Industrial Fair being in coordination with New
Smyrna Beach. She attended a meeting on May 7th with the Chamber's
Economic Committee and their answer is forthcoming.
Chairman Racca questioned whether the board received permission from the
City Council regarding this Industrial Fair. The board members reminded
him that the Council was advised and they approved the expenditure of
$600.00 for the cause.
Chairman Racca brought up the discussion of the honorary chairman, and
the board at the last meeting agreed to select Mr. Noland. There was
a great deal of discussion regarding this position, and it was agreed
to ask Mr. Noland to attend the next board meeting.
Mr. Gnau suggested that his duties be defined. It was agreed that if he
will attend the next meeting,the board will explain that all we really
want is his input and ideas to make the fair a success, also he should
plan to attend the fair as honorary chairman.
The Industrial Fair is going to be held September 20th, one of the publicity
items, is to get this announced on the City water bills. This is to be
checked on at City Hall and arranged.
It was agreed to mail out basically the same letter as last year. The
first of July is good timing for the first letter, then perhaps a follow
up phone call in August.
Several businesses were discussed so as not to be left off the tour this
time, such as Water Craft, PreStress, and Southern Instruments.
The board members looked over the letters from last year's fair.
Mr. Racca said he would get with the secretary and bring the letter back
to the board for approval before mailing them out.

It was agreed that the times set in the letter will be sufficient for this
year. It all went well the last time, and if they run into a snag, the
reception afterwards will just be later.
The board members who attended last year explained to the present members
how the activities were scheduled during the fair.
Chairman Racca announced the Florida Industrial Development Workshop,
July 13 through 16 in Tallahassee. He informed the members there is a
fee of $75.00 and anyone wanting to attend should have the arrangements
made prior to June 20th.
