are coming for an individual interview on Tuesday, April 4, 2006.

questions.

4/4/06.
· President Nazelli announced only one of the fund raisers,
Chuck Bentz, has experience for a project like this. He has specific
historic properties expertise.
· Trustee Thomas said he was uncomfortable with one experienced
fund raiser so he will ask Mayor Brick and Councilman Milko for
their recommendations.
· The Trustees discussed other historical properties such
as Lawnfield and Hale Farm that have recently had renovations but
the renovations were done mostly in-house and both have a Board
of Trustees.
· President Nazelli said Chuck Bentz suggested the Trustees
apply for a 501c3 right away so people will feel good about donating
to the project and a small Board needs to be established.

delegate to attend the 4/4 interviews as a voting participant. One
more voting participant is needed to make a total of five.
