social. Barbara Sayler volunteered to help organize the last two functions.
New Business:
Ideas for Marketing the Depot:
Garianne reported that she could easily design a single sheet (front and back) brochure
"card" that could be distributed at the Chamber, Depot and other places. She still needs

update. Debbie Geyer reported that the Interpretive Center had been included in the
Caldwell Parks & Recreation booklet.

reimburse Mr. Williams for the cost. Ina Adler seconded the motion which passed
unanimously.
Other Business:
Case by Stair Rail:
Debbie Geyer suggested that the glass case by the stair rail be used for a revolving
display. It was suggested that a military display be designed for the summer months. The
Adlers have a WWII naval suit and an army blanket. A mannequin is still needed.
Docent Identification:
It was suggested that a vest or apron be developed for the docents at the Interpretive
Center to be used as an identifier since they can not be distinguished from the guests. It
will be looked into.
Additional Tables:
With the Depot being opened this year, there will be a need for additional tables to be
used inside the building. Debbie Geyer will research the cost and present a budget at the
next meeting.

Dave Williams moved to adjourn the meeting at 1:O1PM. The motion was seconded by Barbara
Sayler and passed unanimously.
