"Community Nights" meeting
March 17, 1995
Present: Mary, Rod, Karen, Roxie, Ritchie, Phil Cohen
Mary reported on the people chosen by the Communications Task Force for the
Steering Committee. Phil suggested that we fill one of the vacant spaces with
a student. All agreed it was a good idea and Karen will suggest it at a meeting
of Community Educ. and it will be suggested at the Steering Committee mtg on 3/23.
Discussion was held on the specific goals of the Community Nights. It was
determined that we need to discuss this further in combination with the planning
of promotional events. This will be done with the PR firm and the group that
will facilitate the community nights.
Mary reported that her contact with Belden Hyatt to facilitate the community nights
resulted in a tentative verbal agreement to do so.
Mary shared Ginny's concern that we would have a break between the second and
third nights. After discussion, the committee agreed to book the community nights
for the 4 Wed. in October in order to provide continuity.
Following are several other concerns that Ginny expressed:
* She will be flexible with the training hours, but did believe that
special training was needed for this type of group. We will work
with her on this.
* Making sure that we have people of color involved from the beginning.
* Would like to meet to begin planning in May, but would like the slogan
and logo completed by that time.
Discussion was held on the importance of the community nights and the campaign
in general. The following suggestions surfaced:
Get information to the various civic groups earl !
9 P Y
* A great idea to kick -off the campaign during Earle Brown Days!!
* Have a kaleidoscope or fair where the different groups in the city
can exhibit and /or distribute information. Possibly at the last of
the 4 community nights.
* OK to have the community nights be at 4 different locations within
the city, ie. BCHS, Constitution Hall, 8 Brookdale, S EBHC
* Provide some type of contract /commitment for residents to sign in
helping to promo Bklyn Center.
