Jamie Blanks gave a report about the Civic Group meeting that was on April 15, 2010. Civic Division has decided not to proceed with Dudley Building due to restrictions and time constraints with the City. They have narrowed down the possibilities to 2 different buildings, after looking at all available, vacant buildings. The two buildings that we have decided on are the building Spots is renting and Honey Poling’s building (old Rope’s). The Board has passed the following motion: The CFWC will pursue purchasing a building for the Art Center and Club House provided that members agree.

Jamie asked Members to approve purchasing a building. Ruth Lawrence made motion. Jo Beth seconded motion. Motion passed.

Discussion was held on Art Center: CFWC needs to get the sign out of the building. The city will no longer be involved with the Art Center. Does the 501 C 3 need to be done before purchase of the building? It’s not a concern to obtain the loan; however, no donations at this time will be tax deductable. Two accounts will be opened, one in each bank
