MoRivCC  Board Meeting
September 25, 2016

The meeting was held at Cooper's Landing from 9:00 to approximately 10:45 am.

Board Members Present:  Michael Stacy, Gary Hildebrandt, John Clark, Mike Cooper, Madeleine Lightfoot, Vanessa Leitza, Keith Fletcher.   Absent:  Darren Hellwege.

Volunteers Present:  Louise Sloan 

Previous Meeting Minutes:  Approval was deferred till the next meeting.

Financial:  John reported that EcoArtFest brought an all-time record of $3,450.  All aspects of fundraising were comparable to or significantly greater than in previous years.

Fundraising:  Louise reported she has approached The Community Foundation of Central Missouri for funds.  They have supported Missouri River Relief, KOPN, and RagTag Cinema, among others. The foundation also works with groups in an advisory capacity.  Louise is also communicating with Meg Poche about MoRivCC being an underwriter for KOPN.  Board agreed that underwriting/co-sponsorship could prove worthwhile.

Website:  Madeleine is keeping the calendar updated, and capturing other information as needed.

Cataloging:  Pippa Letsky is taking the lead on old videos, working with Mike Cooper, Madeleine, Priya Jacobson, and Dave Barker.  Dave has access to the Stephens Building after business hours and is willing to help.  He cleaned up our computer and installed new equipment for free.  Mike suggested we pay him to open the office and assist on evenings when volunteers are willing to work, in order to get it done before the December event.

Technology:  We have new hard drives, a Blu-Ray burner, and discs for the editing computer at the office.

Current Video Projects:  Mike Cooper is in the process of capturing all of EcoArtFest.

Future Video Projects:  The Vintage Video Show has been postponed to December 6 at Rose Music Hall.  Doors open at 5:30, with entertainment from 6-10 pm.  Video Show will be followed by Dave & Dyno with The Roadkill Orchestra.  CoMo Smoke & Fire can cater the event at a reduced price.  

Gary will take a hard drive to the office that contains still photos by Liz Mitchell.  These can be enlarged and displayed at Rose.  John Clark will help prepare the program.  We will have a one-camera shoot of the introductions.

Recruitment:  By paying $10 per week, we can boost our MoRivCC Facebook audience to thousands of people beyond those who have joined the site.  This can be used to broadcast announcements such as calling for volunteers.  We are in particular need of more video editors since this work is so time-consuming.  John moved to approve four weeks at $10 per week, Gary seconded, and the board approved.

Action Items from Previous Meeting have been addressed.

Other Old Business:  
	
     EcoArtFest:  MRR has agreed not to have a river clean-up on EcoArtFest weekend next year; they will be here giving boat rides.  Next year MoRivCC will be more coordinated with documenting and camera operation, and will take greater note of other scheduled events.

Next Meeting:  October 9, 2016, 9:00 am at Cooper's Landing.
