Dryden Recreation Commission Mecting Minutes of 01/29/03 continued DrXden Recreation Commission Current'rerms & Vacancies: • Member Term Expires Dryden School Ath. Dir. Permanent Member Jeff Bushnell 2003 Vickie Wilkins 2003 James Wood 2004 William Fimterty 2004 Matty Hamel 2004 vacant 2003 (Green slot) Vacant 2005 (Slocum slot) Vacant 2005 (Gray slot) 4. rti7S/EIS Main Gym Conununity Spruce. -Up: Lisa reported that a community member (Brian June) had approached her at a home basketball game and asked who to contact regarding sprucing up the main gym at the MS/HS so it is more visually pleasing and represents the school and promotes schoollcommunity spirit. The school colors are purple and white so why are the walls & wall mats blue. Brian also asked if the banners could be straightened and the display redesigned. Brian is artistic and would donate his time and skill to paint a purple lion face on two walls (one on each wall behind die main basketball hoops). The vision is for the walls to be painted white, have a purple lion face on two walls, possibly add some language painted on the walls such as "Welcome to the Home of the Lions ", resurface the wall mats in purple, and redesign the display of banners. It would be a conununitY project so no funds would come from the school budget.. We would obtain donated products or a cut -in- price, borrow equipment; and use volunteers to keep this project low cost. Lisa suggested to Brian that Dr. Pat Arc.hantbault, Superintendent and/or Ralph Boettger, Athletic Director would likely be the first contacts. Dr. Pat happened to be at this game so this idea was discussed with her and she thought it was a good idea and to go forward with information gathering. So far the following has occurred: 1) Per Brian, Crown Construction has agreed to donate the use of ladders, scaffolding, drop cloths. Paint & brushes are other possibilities although not confirmed; 2) The Dryden Lions Athletic Club has been contacted as a source to run any ftutding/invoices through them, not through the school; 3) Jim Wood is checking on pricing or donations for purple plastic for the resurfacing of the wall mats. Feedback from the DRC: l) Ralph suggested the PL teachers be informed prior to any work being done; 2) Matty volunteered to check with the owner (or manager?) of Bishops regarding donation of Purple and White Paint ( ?and brushes ?); 3) Jim will continue his quest regarding the purple plastic for the wall mats; Lisa asked for folks who are creative regarding a redesign display for the banners (we're told there are a lot more banners in storage); 4) Lisa asked Ralph if he would ask the PL staff to straighten the banners when they become crimped. Still yet to do: 1) A concern was expressed about liability of non - school employees painting. Lisa will check with the insurance company for a possible rider to cover this community event and the school would contract out to this group (or through a business) for the work to be done; 2) Brian June suggested presenting the students/staff with a couple of lion faces to vote on for the lion face to be painted on the walls. it is his thought that this would help stir up excitement and involvement in this community project; 3) prepare a timeline for this project to occur; 4) promote for and acquire volunteers, supplies & equipment and possible business donations to help cover costs. Volunteers would consist of experienced painters and other volunteers to run errands, run concessions; and clean- up; 5) Lisa will contact ivfarianne Christofferson, local interior designer, community member, and parent of three Dryden Students, regarding suggestions,/lrelp on the redesign of the display of banners; 6) Lisa will continue talks with Brian June, 7) other thoughts... The DRC is to give status report at February meeting. 5. FYI - Upcomina Tournaments: 1) Boys Youth Basketball Dryden Tournament, Sat., 3/l/03.
