In attendance: Fred DiSomma, Gary Donald, Deb Kurtzer-Johnston, Bill Booth, Kathy Whitfield, and Tom Crane.

Fred reported that the new Business Directory booklet was mailed out, and the feedback has been very positive. 300 booklets were printed at a cost of $1.50 each, plus tax.

Some in attendance reported that they had not received the booklet, and Gary said that the Post Office told him that some businesses have a 'no flyer policy' on their mailboxes, so they were not given one.

The booklet is planned to be updated and finished by the end of April. The number printed will be determined by the funding from CAEDA. Tom suggested that the Booklet could be posted on the website, and businesses could print it off themselves

A discussion then ensued as to how to distribute the completed booklets in another way, and a plan to host two open houses, one in South River and one in Sundridge in mid May.

Kathy will look into locations. Refreshments will be provided by members.

 

Gary announced that he will be moving soon, so it was decided by those present, including Fred, that Fred will take over the position as Chairperson.

Those present thanked Gary for all of his hard work with the CABC. 

The next meeting is scheduled for April 15, 2008, at 7 p.m. at the Sundridge Community Centre. Meetings are planned for the third Tuesday of each month, up to and including May.

Meeting ended at 8:15 p.m.
