CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES AND FINANCIAL REPORT: The minutes of October 2008 were approved with one correction under Member Comments – Edna 4H group (not the Boy Scouts) sold picket fence tickets. The October 2008 Financial Report was approved. REGULAR ITEMS Reports and Updates Monthly Activities – Staff/Public Works Christine Wallace reported on the following: • Looking for information about what the committee would like to do for a grand reopening at the Jack House in April or May, 2009. Batterson would like to consider possibly combining an event with Mothers Day, if the timing is right. A nice concert or outdoor event. Wallace may have access to additional funds for advertising since the Holiday advertising budget was not used in 2008. Kincaid asked if appetizers may be included in addition to cookies and punch usually served. Stockton offered the possibility of the short film presentation on period dress, but the time of day or space may be a limitation. A fashion show or display may be an option as well. Gordon suggested a “Garden Party”. It would include vendors to showcase garden products, games, etc. Spring is ideal time for avid gardener items and topics. June may be too late in the garden season. Kincaid said docents are brainstorming about ideas about new events for the Jack House for different times of the year. She will get Christine Wallace a list of ideas from the November docent meeting.

Docent Activities Toni Kincaid reported on the following items: • Docents went on a field trip to the Pioneer museum in Paso Robles. They noticed and were impressed by the carriage display and the style in which they displayed. The displays used plexiglass so no docent was needed for the displays. Howard Jack was the first honored “Pioneer” by Pioneer day committee in 1970. • Docents also visited the Hollister Adobe. It is located near the baseball field on Cuesta College campus. • Dennis Judd will meet with Toni Kincaid on November 17th to discuss the Hollister Adobe. • There was a Jack House presentation from the docents at the RAM luncheon on November 11, 2008. 50-75 men were in attendance. This was the Morro Bay group (officers club on Camp San Luis) and this is one of 7 groups in SLO County. Member Comments • Stockton has a request for the construction managers to update Jack House Committee on projects at the January meeting. • Gordon – had a garden activity/show and it was a big success. • Stockton – thanked Batterson and staff for making the bedroom shade a priority. Staff reported that it may not be hung before the completion of the construction project, but it is on the “to do” list. Communications • No communications at this time. Meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m. to January 14, at 5:30 pm at the San Luis Obispo Parks and Recreation Administration Office.
