$177,000.00 is in the Treasury. The amount in the Treasury now does not include

3. Committee Reports:
a. Foundations - Ross Frazer
Ross discussed match funds from foundations. Harriman Foundation is interested.
Would like to get $35,000.00 this year from foundations to finish Judson Park.
Discussion centered around asking for donations.
b. ParkFest - (To be determined)
c. Grassroots -Mark Spradling
23 pavers are ready to be engraved. There are only two people in the State of
Texas that engrave pavers. At present, 25 pavers is the minimum for an "engraving
run." Mark Spradling will investigate the possibility of paying a set-up fee for
smaller engraving runs. People who have paid for pavers are complaining about
how long it takes to get pavers installed. In 1994 $5,800.00 was paid for pavers
and in 1995 $5,700.00 was paid for pavers. Total cost to have the pavers engraved
is less than $500.00.
4. New/other business
Park Lover's Ball - Jeanne suggested a detailed list of duties that need to be done
assigned to Board Members at the beginning of planning of the ball. A list of duties
will be compiled by Jeanne and Ginni. The list of duties will be reviewed by the
board.
It was discussed having a company donate secretarial time to work on the ball.
Ginni will contact Ken Kerns who owns an employment agency to see if he would
be willing to donate secretarial time. It was suggested that the payment to Ken
would be a sponsorship or an advertisement in the brochure.
It was suggested that at one of the Board Meetings a list be compiled of people and
companies who will donate silent auction items for the Park Lover's Ball to be held
on February 15, 1997.
