Minutes of Board ( Quorum ) and Members – April 7, 2011

1. fund raising and memberships are not the only priority, but
close to the top.

(a)  Fund raising now for our next phase – Getting our license
i  Ken will locate a producer for our next Jan 1, 2012 entertainment gala.  “Jake?”
ii  John Roman will develop a Gabriola picture book as a fund raiser.

(b)   Fund raising for the next phase – Getting on the Air
Membership size will be a compelling argument when we seek public funding.
i   We need to be thinking about a drive for life time members at $1,000 each, and                 this will fund our project development and financing efforts.
ii   Gerry Mountain will produce a draft “post card” with a member application       turn-around page for the “Welcome Wagon”,  “Tourist Office”, real estate offices, Cr.   Union and more.

2.  We will solve the streaming issue asap and get
our last benefit concert CD on air.  Decision needed, April 14

3.  We need to find at least a 650 sq. ft. project office, hopefully
a retail store front, to help promote membership and fund raising.   We are keeping in   touch with Steve. W. of Folklife Village and have shown interest in the “video store”.
As soon as we can announce that we have our license, we need to close on this.

4.  We support the local entertainment arts groups with a donation to a “snake” audio cable.

5.  We have met all the needs of our engineer and he is now able to fully satisfy both Industry Canada and the CRTC and enable them to post our “notice of hearing”.  That could be a “paper hearing” and proceed very quickly, depending upon Rogers
intervention.

6.  We need to get on top of our music functionality.  CDs need to be catalogued and passed to John Roman for critiques where appropriate.
