Proceedings:
Meeting called to order at 5:30pm - President, Sharon Ludwig
Agenda Additions, Deletions, Changes - None
Mail Received and Announcements - None
Consent Agenda - Approved (It was voted to automatically approve previous meeting minutes and financial reports unless issues are raised because these are circulated prior to board meetings via e-mail). Louise mentioned she is still collecting information for the 501c3 application, clarified our purpose and mission, and resolved wording.

Executive Director's Report - In summary, meetings continue with art groups that will be the primary performance and display artists. For example, the Art Guild would be responsible for art shows in the lobby area. A calendar has been established for a fiscal year, July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 for purposes of the 501c3 application and for the first complete annual budget. A list was presented for significant events in the first year, all within the phase 1 of the project. We have a donated stage from Eastern Washington University consisting of (18) 4'x8' sections, some needing pipe legs.. For the complete written directors report, see http://chewelahpaca.org/dates/20080603.doc (pending).

Old Business - No decision for the PACA Logo. This was postponed indefinitely.

Building Plans - Tom Bristol, using a projection screen and laptop computer, presented a show of two drawings for the PACA building, one showing how the existing walls might be insulated and finished, including the ceiling with some acoustical panels by Armstrong Company (http://www.armstrong.com/commceilingsna/article22717.html), and a second drawing with a layout for Phase 1. These were very detailed and a fine job by Tom. The drawings speak for themselves and may be found on the PACA website as PDF files using the link: http://chewelahpaca.org/designs.htm (pending).

New Business - It was determined that the 4th Tuesday of each month for board meetings will work for all members. The next board meeting will be July 22nd. There was a general discussion regarding future fund raising, "branding" of the center, some comparisons between PACA and the Guthrie Theater in MN (http://www.guthrietheater.org/). There was a general understanding the 501c3 must be the current focus.

The meeting adjourned at 6:45pm.
Minutes submitted by Secretary, David Ferré.
