Adjournment: r - 0 I ENFIELD COMMEMORATIVE COMMITTEE APRIL 27, 1993 - 7:30 - 9:00 PM. PRESENT: Gary Fisher, Wilma Fisher, Hilda Amberge, Ellie Hobble, Jack Hubbell, Sue Thompson, Louise QiYyj-W1IIis? Motion was made to officially appoint Gary Fisher to Chairperson position. Motion seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Corrections made to minutes of March 23, 1993. Gary asked that all members contact him for items to be placed on the agenda for each meeting. OLD BUSINESS, Enfield History Book: Sue has to contact Morrison printers (W.E. Morrison, Main St. Ovid - 869- 2561) for second publishing company. Jack suggested a publisher used by the Lansing Historical Society - he will contact Sue with the name and address. Sue reported contacting Tom McEnteer. Tom is one of the organizers and contributors of the Tioga County History Book. He is willing to come talk to the Commemorative Committee during the summer. Sue will contact Tom in June. Gary suggested the committee make a list of questions to ask Tom when he comes. Possible questions: How to deal with the inclusion/writing of different ethnic groups - racial references? From a legal point of view should the committee be incorporated to protect it's authors from being sued or is the group protected by the town as it is a town committee - need to check with the town lawyer. There was discussion on others who might come to present information on publishing a history book. Ellie will contact the Dewitt Historical Society for a possible presentation from a member of their group. Sue reported the following people who are willing to work on various parts of the Enfield History book: Karen French (272-2062) - "Telephone Office" ; Bob and Leah Carpenter (387-6001) Enfield Grange; Marnee Kirschegeeher and Helen Jackson - Enfield Community Council. It was suggested that William Mather (Iradell Road 387-6077) be contacted as a possible writer of the Military History. L. Pierce Williams was also suggested as another possible Military History writer. Sue will contact William Mather first. There was discussion regarding a Donors and Patrons page in the History book. This would help pay for the book. A possible way to pay for the pictures in the book would be to have them dedicated by people at a cost of $10.00 (depends on the printing charge): example: description of landmark ...in memory of grandfather Henry. The committee had decided before that there would be no 1 business advertising in the History book. Trivet: Gary reported that Martha Chacona did not care to change the map on the commemorative trivet. Helen Smith received Martha's permission in writing for the committee to make their own changes to the trivet. Gary is working on having the trivet picture computer scanned so that changes can be made on a clean copy. Quilts: Helen Smith will be our contact for the quilts. One quilt is being made to raffle for a fund raiser for the birthday celebration. The other quilt is a wall tapestry to be hung up and shown at town functions. The tapestry has a map of Enfield on it. We need a list of people who have worked and are working on these quilts. Contact Person: Gary suggested that the committee make sure that we always have a contact person for each project involved with the committee. Logo: Gary asked about the logo of the committee. He was told that a logo was not officially chosen. Sue was asked to bring in the logo pictures which were submitted so that the committee can review them at their next meeting. A suggestion was made that perhaps the Historical Society might like to handle selling T-Shirts, bumper stickers, etc. with the history logo on them. Funding Raising: It was suggested that Randy Warden (town judge and president of the Enfield Historical Society) be asked about the official law of funding raising within a town committee. Cook Book: Gary had questions regarding the History Cook Book. Helen Smith is in charge of the Cookbook. Helen will be asked to report on the cookbook progress at the next meeting. One question came up regarding the paid ads in the cookbook. Celebrations: Gary asked what other groups the commemorative committee had contacted regarding ideas for the celebration of Enfield' birthday. Sue reported that no particular person was contacted just historical organizations. The committee did receive information from The Tioga County Historical Celebration from Carol Henry. Sue will bring copies of this information to the next meeting. It was suggested that Newfield Old Home Days be contacted for information - Sue will contact them. Ellie volunteered to contact her old home church who had just recently celebrated a birthday with a community celebration. It was also suggested to contact the Trumansburg Celebration committee - Barb McKeith might know who to contact. Sue will call Barb. NEW BUSINESS Gary asked for a nomination for a Vice -Chairperson for the Commemorative 2 Committee. Ellie nominated Sue, Gary seconded, motion passed. Birthday Celebration Subcommittees: Gary asked for suggestions of subcommittees for the birthday celebrations. These subcommittees will all need separate chairpersons. Publicity �� Community Picnic l' Parade Opening Celebration Roger Brown Memorial Softball game Memorial Rock There was lots of discussion regarding these subcommittees. The question was asked if these major birthday events should be held in conjunction of an event all ready occurring within the community or, if the events should be held separately. How much do we want to separate the birthday celebration events out? Asking various community groups to chair a subcommittee was suggested. A Calendar of Events was also suggested. Contacts from the various community groups are needed: Elementary School c Churches Gi� Granges �«' Community Council Fire Department Senior Citizens Hilda suggested that the Senior Citizens group be contacted to possible have a representative from each road in Enfield. This representative would keep their neighbors in touch with the Birthday Celebration. Etta Gray - President would be a good person to contact regarding this project. Wilma Fisher asked for suggestions on the content of the "Mother's Club" section she is researching for the Enfield History Book. Suggestions of: what the club was/is; where they met, who was involved, how long they met for. s There was discussion regarding different ethnic groups which settled in the town of Enfield. Jack noted that at one time - he was told a certain ethnic group had settled at Kennedy's Corners and started the Kennedy's Corners Church. Since Helen, who is researching church history, was not there to answer this question we will ask her at the next meeting regarding this group. Meeting adjourned 9:25 pm. Respectfully submitted, Sue Thompson 3
