STAFF REPORTS
Niña Johnson gave a brief update on the Heritage Center Visitor Center.
The structure is approximately 90% complete. The building will not open to the
public until September. Just a reminder the SCFD 15th Anniversary will be held
here on Sept. 21. The Lakewood Gallery will not be open within the next year,
due to budget issues. We will be able to put in basic landscaping at the Visitor
Center including an apple orchard. The Two Bear Sculpture has been installed,
however the landscaping will have to wait, due to drought and budget issues.
Robin Anderson stated that artist Ann Kline has opened an exhibit with proceeds going to saving the rainforest. It will be up through the end of the month. The Metro Student Furniture exhibit will open July 7, and Red, Hot and Blue will open July 5. A reception for both exhibits will be Saturday, July 12, which will include a showing of West Side Story in the theater. Robin asked if anyone knows of an artist who would like to donate any art work to the Silent Auction for Art Fest, if so please let her know.
Kris Anderson gave a brief run down on dates for "move in" at the Visitor Center.
Susan Martin stated that the first summer concert was last Thursday and everything went great. The volunteers were awesome!
Elizabeth Nosek announced that the fall programming is almost completed. She will add a bird day this year and also will be expanding the Foodways program. Elizabeth passed out the Lakewood History Explorer activity pamphlet.
Meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m. by unanimous vote.
