NEW BUSINESS
Walmart:
There was an email from Walmart stating they had no funds at this time to donate.
Phil Cohen suggested we ask them if we set up a 501(c)3 would they donate. Myrna Kauth
suggested we invite David Heber to meet for lunch. Dr. Duane Orn drafted a letter of
congratulations to David Heber, Mike Sims and Frank Gatlin. Phil Cohen asked if we need to
address the problem to Frank Gatlin. Keith Lester suggested someone from the City sit down
with them. The following plan of action was suggested. #1 – Dr. Duane Orn will ask for a
meeting with David Hebe; #2 – Dr. Duane Orn will send out his letters of congratulations on the
store opening; #3 – Try to set up a meeting with Frank Gatlin or Mike Sims and invite someone
from the City staff or the Mayor; #4 – If the committee decides to go forward with setting up a
501(c)3, meet with the finance director first.
Target:
Earl Simons filled out the form and dropped it off. He also left a packet. He
talked to Julie on the phone today and she was very receptive. He went over the items in the
packet with her.
