DISCUSS POSSIBLE PROJECTS Member Langdon discussed several projects including the Bedford Village Chowder & Marching Club, the "Trash to Treasures" project by Rebecca Low, and the idea of selling "acorn sculptures" similar to the Southlake cows. President Corson suggested that the committee should contribute to the Westlake Academy Gallery Night event on February 22, 2008. Member Brittan suggested that we could sell memberships to the Society at Gallery Day. President Corson presented several master plans that other cities have used and suggested that the committee should consider engaging an art consultant to help us create our own plan. Member Brittan suggested that we try to write the master plan on our own so that any funds we request from the Town could go directly to art pieces. Member LaRue and Mr. Rollins agreed with this concept. The board decided to adopt a frequent meeting schedule to accomplish this goal and to make this the primary focus of the committee for the next several months. The goal for the next meeting is to develop an outline of the topics which should be included in the master plan. The second task will be to develop a timeline for completion of the plan. The committee adopted a schedule of the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month from 10 to 12 in the Town conference room. 6. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Member Brittan motioned to adjourn. Member LaRue seconded, the motion carried and the meeting adjourned at 12:25 p.m.
