<br /> <br />Minutes of the CALOP Board meeting <br />March 16, 2006 <br /> <br /> <br />The meeting convened at 6:10 p.m. at the offices of Cable Tec, 8390 Delmar. In <br />attendance were Dennis Riggs, Cameron Sanders, Jim Kirchherr, Jon Galloway, <br />Eleanor Mullin, Karol Walters, Shelley Welsch. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION OF MINUTES: Dennis moved we accept the amended January <br />25, 2006 minutes, Jon seconded, approved by acclamation. Jim moved we <br />accept the amended February 6, 2006 minutes, Jon seconded, approved by <br />acclamation. <br /> <br />REMARKS ABOUT MOVIE PREMIERE: The event went very well, about 300 in <br />attendance. The projector did not do justice to the quality of the film--color <br />washed out. Shelley reported getting several calls saying the first 60 years of the <br />century were very well done, but the 'migrations' and tensions of the next 40 not <br />covered very well. Jim pointed out that this time frame can still be considered <br />'current events'. We would entertain proposals for a film that centers on the 70's <br />and 80's. <br /> <br />GRANT PROPOSAL: Rebecca Rivas, who was locked out of the building and <br />missed her appointment at the last meeting, was invited and appeared tonight. <br />Her background is U of MO J school. Her project centers on refugee teenagers <br />who are war survivors, and are currently being helped through discussions and <br />theatrical performances at a center in South City. Jim asked if her project needed <br />to cover a whole year, why not just the process of doing one show. She is <br />agreeable to that, but wants to give video cams to a few of the teens to film their <br />home lives. Dennis asked about the use of a narrator for the film. She <br />thinks one of the specialists at the center could do this. Jim asked if she was <br />willing to show negative results, and she said yes, she will show one teen who <br />was not helped by program. She can also borrow some footage taken in Sierra <br />Leone. Eleanor moved we grant her $8000.00, Jim seconded, approved by <br />acclamation. <br /> <br />TREASURER'S REPORT: no report was made as Ed Nickels is out of town. <br /> <br />MARKETING REPORT: Jon wants to do a press release, and would like to set <br />up a newsletter on email. <br /> <br />EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: We feel we need to fill this position, so there is one <br /> <br />
