DISCUSSIONS OF OLD BUSINESS
VIDEO VENTURES:
Tandy Miller stated that the 2004 Board had purchased a video of each decade, but stated she had no idea as to whom had them. Tandy stated that she will check with the prior board members to see whom has the videos/cds that the board had purchased.
Debra Blum stated that she had contacted Video Ventures after the last general meeting and that they were aware that there were many problems with individuals not receiving the videos and that some of the videos were un-viewable. Video Ventures requested that we re-contact them in about two months if their representative does not show up at this evenings meeting, as they were preparing to take one of their children to Children’s Hospital the following day after we spoke. Debra stated that if the Representative does not show up this evening she would follow up with another telephone call to them.
Bill McCollom stated that he has since received his by paying a second time dvds and was able to purchase additional dvds as well.
THEMES/MOTTOS/SLOGAN/LOGO
Debra Blum had contacted Sue Ard, the Art Teacher at Kennewick High School, via e-mail. Ms. Ard had stated that as soon as WASL was completed she would offer the idea to her students to see if any of them would like to create a logo/slogan. I requested from her to have her students bring them to the next general meeting on June 16 at the Masonic Temple.
In the e-mails with Ms. Ard, she inquired if their was a prize for the winning entry. There was a discussion during the meeting, as to the offering of some type of scholarship or even a savings bond. This suggestion was tabled until we know if a student or an alumni created the winning selection.
Dave Drollinger suggested that we also place a request on the home page for alumni to create and submit their idea for a logo/slogan. Dave volunteered to help write up the request for the home page.
Kathi requested that we make a decision on our slogan ASAP. The City of Kennewick wants us to attend a meeting as a large group with our new shirts and announce the dates of our next reunion.
Bill McCollom made a motion to table the selection of the slogan until our next general meeting. Glenna Russert second the motion. There was a discussion to narrow the selection tonight.

Debra stated that she will e-mail the top three suggestions to Ms. Ard the art director with the notation that other logo/slogan may be submitted. It was also stated that the use of the year 1908 to 2008 would also be great to have in a logo, but not a requirement. The general consensus was if dates be used it would be “1908 & 2008".
Dave Drollinger stated that he will post the request on the home page of our web site.
After the discussion it was voted and approved to table the selection until our next Committee meeting.

DISCUSSION OF NEW BUSINESS
CLASS REUNION PLANNING KIT:
Kathi Kersey presented to us an 8 page document that she had found while searching the internet on all-school reunions. The document had been duplicated for those in attendance to take home, read and use any of the information, at ones discretion, to assist them individually or as a group in planning for our next reunion, as well as locating classmates.

Dave Drollinger made a motion that the titles/definitions for Decade Chairperson that will assist over the 10 year span of a decade; while the POC (Point of Contact) will be for the specific year of graduation. Joe Byrne second the motion and the motion carried.
COMMITTEE LIST REQUEST FORM:
It was discussed during the first meeting that we create a list of the possible committees that will be needed. A list was prepared and the suggestion for individuals to add their names to a committee was requested. Harold Parker stated, “This list is premature and worthless at this time and the first order of business should be organization. If people are enthused they will volunteer.”
Tandy Miller stated that we need to know what peoples talents are, she believes that the last board failed in this area and we need to define peoples needs and talents.
Bob Crater stated that we would table the committee list request so we will not burn ourselves out.
WEB SITE:
Bob Crater discussed the future web site and the draft of the advertisement contract created by Tim Anderson, that was distributed among the members present at this evenings meeting.
The name needed to be changed to match the name on the by-laws and the bank account, and an address needed to be added. Gene Spaulding is working on getting us a PO Box.
Bob Crater made a motion to accept the draft for the advertisement contract with the above two changes being made. Mary Stultz second the motion and the motion carried.
PURCHASE ORDER:
Reason for the purchase order preparation and discussion was that some felt that they had not been reimbursed for their expenses for the last class reunion, while others received gas money and had cell phone expenses paid for that some alumni felt was not necessary to have been paid. The discussion was to rework the purchase order and resubmit it along with something being included in the By-Laws reflecting the reimbursements to work from with the form on the web site being available once approved by the Committee.. The Purchase Order agreement was tabled for a later date.
Tandy Miller stated that the last board had a form, but the system did not work. Several mentioned they were not aware of the form . Tandy further stated she would see if she could locate a copy of the form.
SOUVENIRS:
Bob Crater spoke on souvenirs, coffee cups, and beer steins with Gene Spaulding sharing about the wrist bands. Bernie Brogen suggested buttons. Bob has a neighbor that can supply us with these items and if anyone else knows of a reasonable source it was suggested that they bring them to the Committee for bids.
RIVER FEST:
Bernie Brogan Borgen stated that in Columbia Park on June 17 and 18 the River Fest will be going on and we could possibly get a booth and generate some interest of alumni. Bob Crater stated that he will look into the possibility of us getting a booth and having some type of souvenir ready by this time.
The meeting was adjourned by Bob Crater at 9:03 pm with the next Workshop meeting being held on May 19 and the next General Meeting being held on June 16, 2005 both at the Masonic Temple in Kennewick beginning at 7 pm.
