Aas led a discussion of the committee situation. We need to increase membership by 25% this year. We need a membership chair. Reitan will continue to chair the marketing committee. Reitan also presented proposed programming for the coming season. Aas will apply to the Duluth Clinic for a grant to subsidize the gospel concert. Amazing Grace will put advertising on line for the Altan concert and take credit card ticket sales for that concert. AGO has been advertising a concert on October 15, 2000 at Sacred Heart and we know nothing about this. MacLeod will investigate. Aas and Reitan will approach Joe Leek about funding for Classic Retro. Reitan will approach the Fond du Lac Band for funding for the Native American event and will contact the Chamber of Commerce about funding for the photo show.
