Packed in afternoon, good crowd at night. Being a co-sponsor worked well. Video will
be on Channel 16 (cable). The City and Don Gault will get a copy. The technician had
to work 17 hours at the theater. We owe him $21.00 per hour. Pauline is checking
what fund pays this. We need to ask Colleen who paid this in the past.

Called "An Inter-Religious Response to Hate &Bigotry." Joan will do a letter for the

V. New Business
A. National Night Out—more informational than interactive. Need to give away
something. Maybe display winning posters after they are displayed at the bank. Elmo
will look at the Community Room and a space to display posters. We will talk about
this next time.

B. Purpose of Commission—Elmo feels we were submitting articles to the M.I.M. from us
and for business. We need a commitment to have a monthly article in M.I.M. and not
have what we write as an"add on" stuck anywhere in the magazine. He would like us
to think about submitting regularly. Also, credit for what we have written is not always
listed. Others felt that we did not need to be in every time. We may feel that we need
the space for meeting notices and programs, and may not use it for business
information.
Now the M.I.M. will be 8 pages maximum. It's our responsibility to let them know
about us. Let's think about this for next time.
VI. Reports: There were no reports.
VII. Meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carol Cude
Secretary, HRC

5. Elmo will check out the Community Center for a place to hang the posters.
6. Joan needs to find out when the Council of Churches flyer will go out and when she has to let
the catering service know the number of people. Joan will write a letter to Mort and Council
confirming date and who pays for what.
