A check in the amount of $3500 will be written to <br />him and we need to set a time to present an "oversized" check to him and get some PR for <br />Main Street. We need to get a receipt for the PCT sign at the Brown Center and present a <br />check to them as well. <br />B. Design renderings: three renderings were recently completed 1. The parking lot behind the <br />building the Melissa Wickersham purchased (used to be YWCA and PAL Bldg), 2. 24/26 <br />Clarksville and 3. The Gordon's bldg. on Bonham St. Cheri will email those to the group. <br />C. Training dates: State coordinator is available Feb 19 — not good for Jill Drake or Jerry Coyle. <br />Cheri will ask her for more potential dates and send them via email. <br />D. Grand Theatre: the roof work is completed and now the facade is being worked on above <br />the marquee. Will re- establish the 1937 look. Hopefully this restoration will spark an interest <br />in renovating the entire building. <br />E. Wassail Fest: 75 completed ballots were rec'd and 21 door prizes were distributed.
