Joel Gibson concert got us over $4,000 ($2,000 net of expenses.)
We have a safety deposit box (and key) which holds titles, deeds and such. Need to remove Jim and put Arlyn on the signature card. Hall will draft a letter for that. Candy is a signee. Motion to remove Jim Braden Wes and have Arlyn put on. Wes motioned and Craig seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS

The Humanities of Washington will be hosting “How to Detox from Scrolling” on 11/13/26

All Island Garage Sale: We can host tables (8?) at the same price as the Museum to augment their space. Hal will reach out to the Museum.

OLD BUSINESS
Debrief from 2026 FICRA Fair
The Board appreciates all the work that Hal and Steve did to set up the fair. Volunteers and have a Volunteer Appreciation party at Zog’s.
Silent Auction – maybe have a game room instead? Do we really need a silent auction? Discussion was postponed until a later date.
Because the parade start time changed this year, we should provide advance notice of all start times.
People couldn’t hear the announcements. Perhaps we need to add new speakers that are not at ground level
Need more signage on announcements and parking
Re: Music – only 7-8 people listening to the music. Perhaps not a good use of the money.
Perhaps have chairs in front of the music.
Have greeters with paper programs or a QR code. With what is happening at a certain time.
Passports were a good idea
Perhaps have a good band in the evening
Thank the vendors and sponsors more often. Maybe a shirt for the volunteers to identify them.
We as a Board should show up more positively.
Readiness for Labor Day Concert and Car Show
Need food truck
Scoops for ice cream
NEW BUSINESS
Harvest Hoedown – 5 to 8pm on October 3. Harbor Dance is trying to get volunteers as well as H2O – the high school dance team. Doing the Bake Competition (Arlyn). 13+ pies and kids will make cookies. BBQ is coming. Perhaps a specialty drink
Garage Rental Discussion – Since we are currently dragging equipment from the basement, we should have our equipment in the garage. We will table this pending an in-person review of the location.
Trash Removal – we have 2 months free and if we decide to continue it will be approximately $55 a month
Event Coordination Process, Possible Hiring of Coordinator. We will table this until another time. Might need to amend the by-laws for this.
MEETING ADJOURNED at 8:36 Wes move Angela seconded. Unanimously passed.
