The board discussed what the banner would say. It was unanimously decided that
it will have the city logo, plus "Cultural Arts Board" and the word "Texas".

The board discussed different advertising and promotion options. Member
Stooksberry will contact the Colony Courier-Leader newspaper about a mention
in May and one other time. There is a possibility of publicity via the Flashpoint
LISD listserv and LISD's channel one television. Pirate Days as a whole may
have ads in the movie theaters that would include a mention of the CAB event.
Chair Lux will contact Pam Nelson (TCPARD) about delivering materials directly
to the schools.
Places to promote the contest (distribute flyers) discussed were:
1. Flicks Video
2. Tony's Hair Salon
3. Photography club
4. Schools
5. Kids Count Too
6. Montessori school
The guideline sheet for the Computer Arts contest needs to have a change made:
Four entries are allowed (Two is currently listed).
Chair Lux informed the board that there are already three judges lined up. The
board decided that there should be a pre judging to narrow entries down to the
finals, but that entries not chosen for the finals could be available in a file display,
so that the public could view them.
4. Update on website status.
This item was tabled until the May meeting.
5. Discussion of May 2 Stewart's Creel Trail event booth.
This event has been moved to June 6t'. Board members have agreed to be there
and oversee, nothing else to do to prepare. Board is permitted to promote the
multimedia contest at the event.
The meeting adjourned at 8:10 pm
