Amphitheater Fundraising Task Force
Meeting Notes
November 6, 2013
Dr. Duane Orn called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m.
Present: Dr. Duane Orn, Earl Simons, Myrna Kauth, Sharon Kephart, Jim Glasoe and Sue LaCrosse.
Minutes:
There was a motion by Earl Simons, seconded by Myrna Kauth to approve the minutes of
October 16, 2013. Motion carried.
Financial Report:
Sue LaCrosse reported donations, including in-kind and bricks at $206,246.07.
Jim Glasoe reported the City entered into an agreement with Blumentals. The soil borings in the
intended location are not good. It will cost more for the support structure, which will likely add to
the cost of construction.
Myrna Kauth will talk to Rotary about purchasing a paver for Phil Cohen. Dr. Duane Orn said if
anyone on the committee wants to donate in Phil’s name is welcome to do so. Earl Simons and Dr.
Duane Orn each donated $500 in Phil’s name for the Amphitheater.
Earl Simons acknowledged that Phil Carruthers made a pledge of $250.
Luther:
Dr. Duane Orn said he is still waiting to hear from them.
Centaur Foundation:
Sharon Kephart reported that George Larson will update the list and will send it
to Sue LaCrosse. It is planned we would send a separate mailing providing it meets foundation board
guidelines.
Paul Hyde:
Dr. Duane Orn will arrange a meeting.
VFW:
Earl Simons will follow up with the VFW.
Lang-Nelson:
Dr. Duane Orn will follow up.
Other:
Dr. Duane Orn said he would like to revisit Frank Gatlin and Mike Sims. The committee would
like to send a letter to donors updating them on the timeline and financial status. Sue LaCrosse
suggested we wait until late January or early February after bid documents go out. Earl Simons
acknowledged the assistance from Jim Glasoe in keeping us updated on the project. Dr. Duane Orn
reported on the field trip to see the Plymouth Amphitheater.
