Board Discussion
Chair Anne Hiney addressed the board stating that the new sponsorship brochures were placed at each
member's seat. She asked that members not only contact the sponsors who they have secured in the past
few years but contact new sponsors. She explained that the new brochure was to not only target
businesses that desired many forms of advertising but also citizens who wanted to engage citizens in the
arts. There are options for everyone. She challenged each member to return as many sponsorships as
possible by the end of October and noted that she would contribute a prize for the first member achieving
the goal of five sponsors.
