Dr. Duane Orn asked that the Amphitheater design, the park drawing, a donor sheet and a small
picture of the Amphitheater be copied for the packet. Phil Cohen asked if the sheet with the
drawing of the Amphitheater on the park photo could be done better. Sue LaCrosse will ask
Janis Blumentals. Dr. Duane Orn will contact Keith Lester to let him know this committee will
be responsible for fundraising only for the Amphitheater.
Dr. Duane Orn asked if we could meet every two weeks. The agenda for the next meeting will
include discussing what recognition donors will receive.
Sue Low arrived at the meeting.
Dr. Duane Orn would like to have a sign made that would say, “Future Site of the Centennial
Memorial Amphitheater”. He would also like to have stakes and tape put up around the area of
where the Amphitheater would be. Sue LaCrosse will check with Vickie Schleuning on the sign
and Jim Glasoe for the stakes and tape to see if this is possible. Teresa Schutz will check with
FastSigns.
Dr. Duane Orn said he spoke with Mark Allen and Mark told him the BCBA may be interested
in helping with fundraising for the Amphitheater. Teresa Schutz said it would require a specific
fundraising effort. She said they are planning for the annual golf event and may promote the
1
fundraiser in conjunction with the Amphitheater. Any additional fund would have to be
approved by the board.
Teresa Schutz explained how the social media sites work and how it might benefit the
fundraising efforts of the Amphitheater. She said it would need its own site. Dr. Orn asked who
might have the capacity to keep up these sites. There was a motion by Brett Hildreth, seconded
by Myrna Kragness-Kauth to table the media campaign to the next meeting. Motion carried.

The next meeting is Wednesday, April 20 at 5:00 p.m.
There was a motion by Myrna Kragness-Kauth, seconded by Teresa Schutz to adjourn the
meeting.
