MINUTES

Scene Shop Fundraising Meeting Minutes

The group met on October 14th, 2024, at 6:30 in Champlin Hall.  Those in attendance were representatives of the Cresco Community Theatre, Cresco Theatre Commission, and Cresco Chamber, and included Spiff Slifka, Paul Jensen, Joe Wacha, Kelly Bartling, Wendy Lickteig, Ann Seebach, Kari Waterbeck, and Julie Wilson.

The group reviewed the building plan which will be taken to the next City Council Meeting.  After that, we will go to the bid seeking stage after the first of the year.

The group would like to start fundraising in early November.  The group will be revising the pledge card and revising the information letter that will go with the card.  The letter will also serve as the correct information to be presented when seeking  donations.  The group decided to do two raffles.  The first one will be done around Christmas, and will be a popcorn machine, popcorn, oil, salt, etc…  The second one will be in the spring, and will be an outdoor movie set-up.

The next meeting will be on November 11, 2024, at 6:15 PM at Champlin Hall.

Respectfully submitted,

Julie A. Wilson

Secretary, Cresco Theatre Commission
