Discussion of Fall Centennial Event The Committee discussed ideas for the Fall Centennial event. So far Chipstone has agreed to provide 4-5 tours of 12 people max. Also proposed an outdoor gathering on Chipstone property. The group discussed other ideas like having a picnic (everyone brings their own picnic) at Chipstone, have the book release at this event, provide light refreshments and music, have Chipstone show their videos to showcase their collection (possibly on an outdoor screen), provide window clings of when residents’ homes were built, and/or provide a pamphlet of Fox Point architects and unique homes (all information is within the book). Emily and Douglas will meet again with Chipstone to see if a date can be decided on. Avoid September 19 as that’s the FPF picnic. 7. Adjourn Meeting adjourned at 7:04pm. Page 3 of 3
