Other Business:

  • Budget Review/Process: detailed discussion. Everyone to do a final review on their own portfolios – look over last year’s journal entries, call GregM with questions if clarification is needed, call suppliers where necessary for updated quotes. Send final proposal for your own portfolio back to Greg well in advance of next meeting.




  • Sponsorship & gov’t funding/grants: discussed. Letters to last year’s sponsors are ready to go. The contract for the Municipality of Kings expired in 2012 so they need to have a new proposal. Phyllis has new grant request for Atlantic Lottery Corp ready to go and is working on address labels for a general mail-out to all businesses in the Faces of the Valley publication. Lindsay may be able to supply an additional business list to try and reach further into the Valley.




  • Correspondence:

  • Fundraising proposal from Pepsi Millet & Peter Richardson: referred to Executive for follow up.

  • Marnie Parker/The Bus Boys: if any bands or other groups express concern re logistics or costs of coming to Festival, they can be referred to Perry Rand Transportation for a quote and possible liaison with another group in their area. There is no direct benefit to us, but Perry Rand supplied a free bus to ABF last year when we needed it.

  • Jenna Hutchinson: looking for a picture of Princess Kingston 1959, Rose White. Referred to Angela.




  • Time line review: everyone please review the timeline for their own portfolio & make sure items are being completed. Ask if you have questions or need help.




  • Vacant Board Positions: keep on looking for Sponsorship & Cultural Directors & Vice President!




  • Goosenargh song request: Lindsay has received a request to see if we can arrange a performance of their original song. She will reply with “Thank you; we are investigating” and in the meantime she will make copies & approach local school band directors for an expression of interest. Possibly we can add this to the opening ceremonies, which the Goosnargh contingent should be able to attend.
