Hi All,

Attached are the meeting minutes from the 2/5 meeting.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

The next regular meeting will be Tuesday, March 5.  Is there a venue that would like to have us?

Tuesday, May 7 needs a location.  May is usually a Spring Social, and the date for this meeting can be flexible.

Tuesday, June 4 will start at Inlet Town Hall with Bag Stuffing for Black Fly Challenge and then will move to Screamen Eagle.

There are no meetings in July or August.

Tuesday, September 3 needs a location.

Tuesday, October 1 will start at Inlet Town Hall with Bag Stuffing for Adirondack Kids Day and then will move to Screamen Eagle.

Tuesday, November 5 needs a location.

Tuesday, December 3 - This might be a good day for the Holiday Open House / Meeting / Social??

Let me know if you would like the IABA to come to your place during one of the open dates above.

Thanks!

Pole Banners - I have received a lot of positive feedback about the pole banners, and a lot of great ideas.  I even had someone working in marketing in NYC offer to help with a design.  I also want to let you all know that I have found a connection through Black Fly Challenge with someone who is going to help Inlet with some branding.  So .. I am hoping a few of you may like to form a little committee to continue talking banners, which might also help with branding our little town???

Vacation Planners - The CAA's 2019 vacation planners are here.  Please come get some to hand out at your place of business.  They include all attractions, accommodations and events in Inlet, Webb, and Long Lake/Raquette Lake, and make a great handout for your customers.

Community Pride Day is Wednesday, May 1.  The deadline to be on this year's shirts will be March 22.  This is early!!  I will not be in the office the first 3 weeks of April, and one week is not enough time to wrap up a design and have shirts printed, sort them and make sure they get where they need to go before May 1st.  And besides, April is not a good time to reach anyone anyways.  :)  Sponsorship forms will be going out soon.  Also, 8 designs were submitted to be considered for the front of this year's shirts.  They were all done by ninth grade students, 6 from Town of Webb and 2 from Wells.  We will be chosing a few finalists and posting them on Inlet's Facebook page for public voting from February 15 - March 15.  If you stop by the office before Feb. 15th, you can help us narrow down the finalists.
