OLD BUSINESS
Progress Tour of Christmas House
The purpose of this meeting was for Board members to tour the progress of the
Christmas House. Minutes following are from notes, as no recorder was there.
Mr. Ruggles asked Mr. Corder if the house would be completed by September
11 th, the date the tours begin, and Mr. Corder replied it would be very close. He
said it may not be completely finished, but enough so to go ahead and start
touring. He said right now they were close to finishing the AC and electric work
and now that the tile was in they could proceed with the last plumbing and
carpet. He noted that a 6 ft. privacy fence would be placed on the west and
south sides of the house and as soon as the rain held up a little, they would be
proceeding with the sod.
Mrs. Pittman asked who would be doing the decorating and furnishings and Mr.
Corder stated that Jodi Graham, from Jodi's Interior Treasures, was donating her
time to do the design and she would be negotiating with the local furniture stores
for the best prices.
The Board discussed the progress thus far, and the only drawback they
commented on was the plan not to enclose the big, outside patio. They all felt it
would add a lot, at such a small cost, and screening should be reconsidered.
The Board also discussed times and days they may be available to stay at the
house and help conduct tours. Mr. Corder noted that the VFW Women's
Auxiliary had already volunteered to help and he hoped also that the volunteers
at City Hall who help with the City Newsletters might also volunteer some time.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mrs. Pittman moved to adjourn, seconded by
Mr. Tipton. The next meeting for the Board will be the regularly scheduled
October 12th meeting at City Hall.
