General Neighborhood Meeting: Discussed need for a general meeting. It is at this time of year we have traditionally held elections of officers. Discussed how to publicize the meeting, which must be held as soon as possible and without a newsletter in which to publish the date. Mon., Nov. 10 at 7:30 at New York School proposed as meeting date and time. Approved by all present. Discussed agenda items for meeting: Election of officers, CDBG projects, future of the organization. These items to be mentioned on flyer we will send out to members to publicize the meeting. Lori volunteered to make the flyer, with contributions from John. Fadra will call Kansas Key Press to arrange for mailing. CDBG proposals for next funding cycle: With information provided by Tammy and marci, discussed changes in CDBG application (projects must be site specific; needs assessment must also be completed- ours hasn't been updated for 10 years). Discussed need to get new people invoived, with new project ideas. For the organization to be able to continue operating, we need to secure funding for a coordinator and newsletter, at least. Approved date for another board meeting Tues., Nov. 4, at Bill and Lori's (1205 Penn) to brainstorm ideas for projects, prepare a draft of needs assessment and CDBG proposals. Discussed getting organizational materials- archives, neighborhood survey, past proposals- from Bob Kennedy and other past ELlA officials so we can complete these tasks at the board meeting.
