New Board Member Status:
Board is still looking to fill one position. Pete met with two candidates; Maureen Dime might be a
possibility.
Streaming Video Study:
Philippe presented a sampling of how many hits the streaming
video is getting and how many minutes people are watching. “A Walk in the Park” gets the most hits/viewer ship.
Nicole to ask Ingrid if she would write a press
release about streaming video on the DMTB website and about “The Walk
in the Park” DVD for sale.
Valentine Video:
Edward presented an idea for a fundraiser. Concept: Provide
DMTV supporters a vhs video Valentine’s Day card taped professionally,
in studio, live to tape. After
much discussion, it was decided that the board would consider the idea
for next year. The
consensus is that it is a good idea but that there is not enough time
for promotion and advertising to make it a success this year.
Board will revisit idea Sept/Oct ’03 for Feb. ‘04.
Fundraising Alt. Discussion: Nicole suggested several alternate ideas to the Legacy
project –
*produce a “History of DM” video and give to
donors of $1k or more
*donors sponsor specific productions
*board members come up with short list of
individuals who could/would make large donations and ask them
personally.
This sparked additional ideas from Garry and Jack -
maybe we raise funds like KPBS. It
was decided that the board would meet in January 22nd at
Nicole’s house (1345 Crest Road) for two hours to discuss fundraising.
Annual Dinner:
Pete is going to host the annual dinner at his house in
January– date tbd.
Next board meeting – January 2, 2003 at 8:30am.
at DMTV.
