MISSION STATEMENT

The mission statement of the Art Committee is as follows:

To sponsor art and art related events using the broadest definition of art - creativeness in any particular skill - to encourage community participation in these events - to make maximum use of the Art Center.

Whenever we are fortunate to make a profit from our events, such as the Italian Festival, we find ways to put the money back into the community.

QUILTERS
This group meets continuously on the first and third Friday of each month.
New volunteers are always welcomed and needed. To date over 1,000 quilts have been made and donated to sick children and nursing homes, etc.
Anyone is welcome to join us.

No special talents are needed. There is work for everyone to do and to have a good time while you are making a positive contribution to our Community. Get your application at the POA and come to our next meeting. We meet most of the time on the first Saturday of the month at 9am at the Art Center.

The meeting was called to order by chairperson, Joan Greve. The thought for the month is: There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings to us to learn from�.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross: Joan reminded everyone to be thinking about their baskets for the Extravaganza. She stressed how important it was for everyone to donate a basket, as this is really our only moneymaking event. She especially stressed that the Snowbirds should get their baskets to Carole Maguire before leaving for the winter.

Hamlin Elementary School contacted Joan, and asked if the Art Committee could help to judge an art show with the theme "We Can Make a Difference." They will bring the pictures to the Art Center where members will be asked to select 10 best pictures. Joan suggested a committee of about six people would be needed. She sent around a sign up sheet for volunteers. Voting will be on either November 14th, 15th or 16th depending on the availability of judges.
Sue Dimmick reported for the Nominating Committee that no new names had been nominated for officers, so the slate stands with the existing officers holding their positions for another year. The vote was unanimous. Joan mentioned that next year they should be thinking of a new chairperson.
Susan Broadhurst reported that the house tour is cancelled and she will notify Debbie McGowan to take it off Channel 20 and the paper.

Joan sent a letter to the Adult Social Group, but has not yet gotten a response. A suggestion was made, to speak to Bill Wagner directly as the mail is sometimes delayed. The ABH will also be contacted for help. A suggestion was also made to ask community members for monetary contributions to help defray the cost.

Four new members were officially welcomed: Karen Hirschfeld, Mary Lou Kennedy, Hannah Kopelman and Aurora LoVerde.

The meeting was called to order by Joan Greve. She reminded members that we would allow time at meetings for members to present programs that they themselves are running for various charity events. It should be understood that while the time is being given at a meeting, this does not meen that the Art Committee is in any way sponsoring these events. (i.e. angel tree, library fund raisers)
Susan Broadhurst read the minutes from the September meeting, since they did not get into the Hideabout. She apologized for them not getting in. Susan also apologized for leaving out the Hankyu that had been extended by Jean David at the last meeting to Marie Patti for the tremendous job she and her committee did for the Italian American Festival.
Fran Molloy explained the treasurer�s report from last month that appeared as if we lost money on the last couple of events. One has to look at the reports from previous months to realize that only one event took a loss, and that was because of extra guests of the performer, whose meal had to be paid for. A motion to accept the treasurer�s report was made by Marie Rebhune, seconded by Marianne Lonergan and carried.
Fran Molloy announced that there will be an Octoberfest at St Vincent�s School in Honesdale on October 14th from 1-5.
Joan reported that Jeanette Bond had had hip surgery and also Jeanette Peluso, (who was present), had surgery on her hand. We wish them both a speedy recovery.
Joan reminded everyone, and especially the snowbirds, that they should be thinking about their contribution for our major fundraiser, that allows us to run the rest of our programs. Everyone should be contributing a basket. Some people choose to double up and make a larger basket, which is fine. If you are going to be away, please get your basket to Carol Maguire before you leave! Everyone�s participation is needed for this event.
Sue Dimmick reported that the Nominating committee had polled the current officers, and they are all willing to serve another year. If anyone would like to nominate someone else for an officer�s position, please contact Sue Dimmick by phone or mail before the meeting.
Joan reported that the Legends Fashion show was very successful and enjoyed by all who attended and participated. It was professionally done, and those who missed it missed a terrific event. She was disappointed that more committee members were not at the show. Thank you to Jean David and all of the cast members and stage crew who worked very hard to present a wonderful program. Contact Jean David if you would like to purchase a video. $30)
Susan Broadhurst announced that the house tour planned for December 1st will have to be cancelled due to lack of homes. She had four homes, and needed at least 3 more, when 2 people had to withdraw their houses.
Joan reported that the clutter auction which was meant to be a fun evening celebrating the appreciation of the art committee members who work so hard to make our community a better place. Unfortunately, only 13 of the 27 people who had signed up showed. This was disappointing to both Vicci and Joan who had planned on 27 for both the auction and refreshments. Needless to say, those who did attend had a lot of fun and went home well fed, and a little sore from laughing. Thank you to Vicci Pitzer for her work.
Trudie Smith anounced that the library was selling poinsettias and homemade cookies as a fundraiser. Trudie will take orders. Plants are $12 and an 8x8 box of homemade cookies is $10. Items can be picked up on December 1st.
Pattie Beerman is again running the Angel Tree program to benefit the victims of domestic violence. She has the angels with the gift requests. If you would like to participate by giving a gift, please contact Pattie. Gifts should be gotten to Pattie by the next meeting (11/9)
Jerri Bianculli researched sites and menus for our Christmas party. After some discussion and voting, it was decided that the party would be on December 14th at 1PM at Earhardt�s. The menu will be a choice of Salmon, chicken francaise or pot roast. Soft drinks, coffee and tea will be included. Dessert will be a choice of fruit pie. Cost is $17.95 and checks should be made out to Hideout Art Committee and mailed to Jerri Bianculli, 108 The Hideout.
Carol Pollack was introduced and welcomed as a guest today.
Joan Casale will again be collecting gifts for the service men and women. However, money is needed for shipping. It was suggested that perhaps other groups would be willing to chip in to help defray the cost which can be hundreds of dollars. Gifts should be brought to Joan, or to the next meeting They should not be wrapped. Questions, Joan�s # 698-6747
The next meeting will be November 9, 2007 at 9 AM.

CHAIRPERSON: Joan Greve
CO-CHAIRPERSON: Jean David & Diane Kiernan

Carol Remis, Fran Sterling, Barbara Wertz, and Susan Wessel.

Chairman Joan Greve welcomed everyone and wished everyone and their families a Happy New Year. She introduced the "thought for the day:" Communication through action � be alive with enthusiasm. Greet your own, and others� ideas and inspiration with ENTHUSIASM!
Joan called the meeting to order and brought to the attention of the committee a letter from Bob Wigand and the "Help a Hero Fund," that had been presented to the committee at the November meeting. Joan pointed out that the officers had met and proposed some revisions to the bylaws, which would change the donations to charities format, but since this was old business she felt it should be addressed under the bylaws as they now read. Joyce Lagrosa suggested that we table this request until the new bylaws take effect. Mary Gridley seconded the motion and it was unanimously agreed upon.
Joan thanked Pat Porr and her committee, Marianne Lonergan, Fran Malloy, Mary Gridley, Joyce Lagrosa and Ginger Gunn for a lovely Christmas party.
Joan announced that in the future, if the schools are closed, because of bad weather on a meeting day, the meeting will be cancelled. Anything that needs immediate attention will be handled within committees and officers involved.
Several members reported that they received their emailed minutes, but could not open them. The problem will be looked into, but in the interest of time, members who do not get their personal copy, should make sure to read them in the Hideabout before the next meeting. Joan summarized the minutes from the November meeting. Joyce Lagrosa made a motion to accept, and Sue Dimmick seconded it. They were unanimously accepted.
Fran Malloy gave the Treasurer�s Report which Vicci Pitzer motioned to accept, and Marie Patti seconded. It was unanimously accepted.
Sunshine committee: Jeanette Bond reported that a plant had been sent to Vicci Pitzer, who had eye surgery. Vicci thanked everyone and said that the poinsettia was tremendous and beautiful. Countryside Florist has always done a nice job with our Art Committee business. It was pointed out that Diane Kiernan�s mother-in-law passed away recently, and that a card should be sent.
Correspondence: Patty Beerman read a lovely letter from the �Victim�s Intervention Center" thanking us for our overwhelming contributions.
New Business: Joan mentioned that she met with the owner of "The Pocono Music Center," and they are working on a free day of music at the Hideout to introduce Hideout children to music. They are also working on the possibility for a teacher, student concert to be held here at the Hideout. Patty Beerman has also been talking with someone who is interested in forming a vocal group. Joan is also waiting for a callback from a dance school for similar programs.
Bylaws: Joan presented the changes proposed by the officers. (See enclosed) Mary Gridley suggested that we might want to consider making one substantial donation a year, instead of having to address many requests that come in. Pat Porr mentioned that we might want to specify that the donations be for local charities only. Mary and Joan both expressed concern that the mission of the Art Committee is to promote the arts, and so contributions should be solely for activities or organizations that promote the arts. A subcommittee of Jeanette Peluso, Mary Gridley and Barbara Wertz, was formed to work on the wording of this proposed change in the bylaws. Susan Broadhurst suggested that the amount of $50 in #14 of the bylaws is really outdated and should be raised to $100.
Extravaganza: Fran Malloy is looking for more donations to be brought to the Art Center for the white elephant sale. She will need help setting up on Saturday before the extravaganza, from 10AM until done. Carole Maguire needs baskets before the next meeting. Please drop them off at her house. Barbara Wertz needs baked goods, both pieced items, and whole items to be dropped off before 10am on the day of the extravaganza. She asked that you put a suggested price, as well as a label on the item. Sue Dimmick said they had too much at the refreshment stand last year. It was decided that she will work with Barbara for individual items, and that we will purchase some individual items from Sam�s Club to sell at the refreshment stand. Libby Dimmick sent around a signup sheet for people to volunteer to sell raffle and 50/50 tickets. It was also decided that the 50/50 should only have one winner.
Cooking Class: Jean David is organizing another cooking class for February 7th at 7PM. She is looking for volunteers to teach a dessert or something else.
Marie Rebhun announced that she will be away for the month of February. Jean David will take care of publicity in her absence.
Vicci Pitzer is holding a "clutter auction," in October, for Art Committee members only. More information will follow.
Jean David is organizing a Red Carpet Fashion show (strictly formal wear) that will include music and comedy for July 14th at the Lodge. She is also working on a children�s "legends" show. Watch for information for tryouts.
Joan asked if the Art Committee would like to subsidize the bus for the Philadelphia Flower Show. Marie Patti and Joyce Lagrosa felt it was not necessary. The committee agreed.
Joan mentioned that she needs chairpeople to run the St. Patricks Day festival and the Holiday House tour. Susan Broadhurst voluntered to chair the House tour.
Joan presented the outgoing chairperson, Susan Broadhurst with a lovely plaque in appreciation for the work she did as chairman of the Art Committee.
Sue Dimmick made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Mary Gridley seconded it. All were in favor. The meeting was adjourned.
