4. It was noted that
our Web Site address was not complete in our February minutes.
The last character was left out. The correct address
is: http://www.trainweb.org/buhlrrshow/ In printing these minutes my
experience is that I can access this web site by using Google.
Personally, I have not been successful using Internet Explorer site.
5. Report on Logo: George Dell has the logo completed but was not at this meeting. Questioned: To check to see if there is a copyright on the use of the drawing for Big Boy Locomotive is our logo.
6. Mission Statement
changes. The proposed mission statement listed in the 02-27-09
minutes read: “To introduce and promote the appreciation and
legacy of the model railroading to all ages through an annual holiday
model train show as a part of the program of The Buhl Community
Recreation Association. A secondary effort is to provide another
opportunity for community exposure and interaction within the
area.”
A.
Changes made at our March meeting: Change
“Assocation” to “Center” and delete the last
sentence; “A secondary effort is to provide another opportunity
for community exposure and interaction within the area.”
7. Costs, fee,
admission. Our March minutes read: “Donations to the
Buhl Community Recreation Center for holidays show was
$525.67.” Suggestion made to add: that these donations were
made from the community.
A.
Our agreement with the Buhl Recreation Center is that all donations
from the community go to the Buhl Club. Proposal by our committee
that we would like this agreement to be: “All donations
“over cost” will go to the Buhl Club.
B.
Need clear written agreement as to what our relationship is with the
Buhl Recreation Center? Our understanding is that we are a part
of the Buhl Recreation Center and program, not just an outside
group using Buhl facilities. We want to ensure that we are acting
in approval with the Buhl Recreation Center and it’s board.
C. Is it permitted for us to open a treasury account?
D.
Recommended by our board that any person who incurs costs to submit
these costs to our committee for re-imbursement.
D.
Contributions from our Buhl Model Railroad Society amounted
to $85.00 and will be retained by our Treasurer, Chuck
Dougan, for seed money to help meet incurred expenses.

Our board does not want venders to be a part of our train show, since
fund raising is not our objective.

page with the Buhl Center.
