Happy Birthday JUNE Love, BRIAN, ROSE, JOANNA, HENRY & JASON I wJr 1 I 2 s? I PARAPLANE AIR SEARCH TEAM EMERGENCY NUMBER 586-3580 WALKERTON C. OF C. BOARD NEWS The monthly meeting of the Walkerton Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors was held June 19 at The Cottage Restaurant. Those present were Leo Savoie, Jr., president; Rene Williams, vice president; Roman Brehm, secretary; Connie Medich, Chamber of Commerce Executive Secretary; David Behr, Executive Economic Developer; John McGee, Jo Hershberger, Kenny Chapman and Karen Awald. President Savoie called the meeting to order at 12:10 p.m. and declared a quorum present. In his opening remarks, he voiced disappointment in that only two businesses had actively participated in the downtown clean-up project the morning of June 6. He complimented all those that did participate and remarked that there was great improvement visible where the clean-up was done. Greater support would have really improved the area appearance. To date, minimal “feedback” has been received from the mailing to all members of the quarterly newsletter. However, another is to be formulated and distributed for this quarter’s activities. Announcements: NIEDF Breakfast Meeting, June 21 at 8:00 a.m. at The Cottage Restaurant; Indiana Main Street Conference, July 16, at 9:00 a.m. at the American Legion Hall; Walkerton Sidewalk Sale, July 25, 26 and 26, Jo Hershberger to contact Retail Merchants Committee concerning use of radio “spot” announcements; Chamber of Commerce Golf Outing. September 12 at Whispering Pines, publicity and details to follow. The minutes of the May Board of Directors meeting was approved as published upon a motion by John McGee, seconded by Rene Williams and passed unanimously. Connie Medich, executive secretary, reported the “Dunk Tank” project was a success. The Chamber was able to contribute $250.00 to Mr. Dan Fortlander, director of the John Glenn High School Marching Band, for its trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in and represent the State of Indiana in the U. S. Bill of Rights Celebration. Connie also indicated more prospective members had made inquiries as to membership requirements. She reported to date dues paid was $6,640. Also the Chamber checking account had a balance of $2,100. David Behr, Executive Economic Developer, presented drawings,

plans and pictures of the Downtown Redevelopment project, showing design and features to be incorporated in the new curb and sidewalk layouts. He also presented the Walkerton Redevelopment Commission schedule of dates for the various required steps to be taken to bring the project to completion by October 1, 1991. Jo Hershberger reported the Walkerton Shopper was experiencing some profitability problems. The Retail Merchants Committee was considering one possible solution might be to cut back on the number of copies being distributed. President Savoie read a letter from The Friends of the Fourth, requesting a SIOO.OO donation in support of the up-coming 4th of July celebration. On a motion by Rene Williams, seconded by Kenny Chapman and passed unanimously, the Chamber granted the donation. President Savoie presented a $545.00 quote for renovation and repainting of the trash cans for the downtown area. The Board requested he obtain another quote and to request the painting of the cans fit the redevelopment decor of the downtown area. The purchase and resale of Area Directionaries was discussed. Consensus was that the Walkerton Area Map project was yet to be completed, and that the Community Events Calendar now under development wad enough Chamber participation in this type activity. Mr. Behr, reporting on the Walkerton Area Map project, said two more ads were yet to be sold. The Board set the price of the glove compartment size maps. For those Chamber member merchants who would want to sell the maps, it was agreed to provide the maps at a discounted rate in bundles of 50. Meeting was adjourned at 1:30 p.m. SENIOR CITIZENS ART CONTEST PLANS SET The artistic accomplishments of older Hoosiers will be on display during the Senior Citizens Art contest at the Indiana State Fair.
