NOTES FROM 2/6/99 BELLEVUE ARCH MEETING
IN ATTENDANCE: CHUCK EPES, LIBBY CLARK, ED PARKS, KATH SADLER
THE MAJOR CONCLUSION WAS THAT PAYMENT COMPLETION OF THE BELLEVUE ARCH WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH SEVERAL FUNDING INITIATIVES DURING 1999 OR CONTRIBUTIONS WOULD BE REFUNDED.
THE IDEAS THAT WERE DISCUSSED INCLUDED:
I. "BILLING" FOR CIVIC ASSOCIATION DUES AND BELLEVUE ARCH DONATION OF $4 THROUGH THE 2ND NEWSLETTER DELIVERY. MAKE THE BILLING AN INSERT THAT LOOKS LIKE A BILL, SO THAT RESIDENTS MIGHT BE MORE EASILY REMINDED OF BOTH THEIR DUES AS WELL AS THE CONTRIBUTION OPPORTUNITY DUES AND A CONTRIBUTION WOULD TOTAL $10 - NICE "ROUND~, AFFORDABLE FIGURE.
2. RESEARCH THE FEASIBILITY OF SPONSORING A YARD SALE IN THE FALL - PROCEEDS TO GO TO THE ARCH FUND. THIS YARD SALE WOULD OCCUR IN TANDEM WITH THE FALL ALLEY CLEAN-UP FOR EASY DISPOSAL OF "JUNK' ITEMS. THE YARD SALE WOULD EITHER BE A "COME RENT A SPACE FROM THE BCA" OR "DO NATE YOUR ITEMS TO THE BCA WHO WILL SELL THE ITEMS". MANY DETAILS NEED TO BE EXAMINED, I.E., TAX STATUS, LOCATION, STORAGE, PERMITS, ETC. NEED A COMMITTEE TO FURTHER EXAMINE THIS IDEA.
3. COORDINATE A FUND-RAISER WITH THE MERCHANTS OF BELLEVUE. THIS IDEA WOULD MEAN THAT THE MERCHANTS BELOW WOULD BE APPROACHED BY VOLUNTEERS (WHO SIGN UP BELOW) AND ASK THEM TO DONATE AND/OR SELL AN ITEM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ARCH FUND. AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE THAT AZALEA GARDEN CENTER WOULD SELL A FLAT OF IMPATIENS FOR $6 FOR ONE DAY WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT $1 WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO TOWARDS THE ARCH FUND. ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE THAT ZORBA'S WOULD CONTRIBUTE 50 CENTS TOWARDS THE SALE OF EVERY PIZZA ON X DAY. ALL INITIATIVES WOULD BE FINALIZED BEFORE THE 2ND NEWSLETTER AND ALL CONTRIBUTING MERCHANTS WOULD RECEIVE "FREE" ADVERTISING WITH THEIR SPECIAL OFFER IN THE NEWSLETTER EDITION. MERCHANTS AND SPACE FOR VOLUNTEER SOLICITORS ARE LISTED BELOW:
