OTBA Committee Meeting Update - April 2003

OTBA members,

I am please to announce several new members of OTBA including Travis Price Architects.

The committees have been meeting already.

The new membership committee is moving ahead full steam and will have a report at our next meeting.

The fundraising committee met today and we decided on focusing our efforts at outreach and fundraising events to happen in September and October. I listed the ideas in last e-mail. In addition to that we discussed the idea of Selling Takoma license plates! A great idea.

It was also suggested by Bobbi Kittner the need for a marketing / education committee that will focus on our overall look and themes and educational materials for the public and other new members. She has volunteered to head up that committee. To join that committee please email Bobbi Kittner at marketing@takomaonline.com. People with graphics designs, copy writing etc are needed for this.

Committee work

Right now we are meeting monthly as group but really it makes more sense to soon go to meeting every other month. The real focus in the coming months will be on the committee level. If you have not joined a committee yet please do so by the May 13th meeting

The four committees we now have are:

  1. Recruitment/membership
  2. Fundraising
  3. Legal / Main Street Program
  4. Executive Committee
Additional Notes - Executive Committee Opening

There will be an opening on the Executive Committee after July 31 as Paul MacLardy may have to resign because Arise Asian Antiques is moving out of Takoma Park due to a rent increase.

President: Bob Atwood
Vice-Presidents: David Eisner & Jan Schwartz
Treasurer: Paul MacLardy
Secretary: Faith Wheeler

Next Steps

Next meeting -- on May27, 9 a.m. at Sangha Cafe' -- we will consider:
• Continued reports on legal status
• Reports from the committees
• Bylaws
• Finalising the Mission statement.

Please e-mail us if you are new and planning to attend the next meeting.
