Read along below:

Speaker 1 0:00
Oh from February 21 Does anyone have any corrections to be made or movement to approve Move to

Unknown Speaker 0:14
approve the minutes

Unknown Speaker 0:15
will second all

Unknown Speaker 0:25
think we’re ready for sessions

Unknown Speaker 0:31
oh geez for being late

Speaker 2 0:42
have a couple things to vote on or potential news sessions. We have this navy blue suit date unknown, my guess is somewhere maybe from the late 70s or so based on the sort of polyester blend that it is. Inside the coat. It says hereo Lynch Longmont, Colorado Hario Lynch was a men’s clothing store that was located on Main Street in 1928 1980s. It was a very long lasting store. The woman who was running it in 1980 was the wife of the guy who purchased it. And I think she was well into her 80s and she was still running that store. And we got lots of pictures from The Times called from from those years. So this was found at a vintage shop. But considering we didn’t have any actual object from that store, and who knows how much is out there with it being four years ago, we thought that this would be a great addition to one’s we do the whole

Speaker 2 1:57
discussion like this, okay. This was a woman who came in and dropped off her grandfather’s Trojan handbook, which is from Longmont High School. In 1934 1935. That year, he was a freshman and all the pressure you receive on these books. It’s not a yearbook. It’s like a welcome. It has like the school song, poem, everything that list of teachers everything you’d want to know as a new student coming into the school. She’s a little tiny thing. This was a no brainer to us. And we have a direct connection with her grandfather, Harold swallow, I think he’s names in the front cover. Questions.

Unknown Speaker 2:55
They still have the same song. Oh, that’d be interesting.

Unknown Speaker 3:02
Anybody go to Hong Kong

Speaker 2 3:10
this is kind of an inter city transfer. The GIS department was cleaning out its archives. And this guy Eric O’Brien, brought by all these Mylar, they’re quite large, they’re about this big Transparencies of the city, you could just kind of make out that there’s like a key with boxes, and each page represents a box on the map. And so this one that I included, this is 287. Just south of here, this empty area here is no prospect. This is sophomore Park. And this is the guest medical building, somewhere around and this is, um, there’s also prints like silver gelatin prints that kind of correspond to this map, they take about four boxes worth those are smaller, they like 10 by 10 or 12 by 12. And there’s also the original film they used in the airplane when they were taking these. They are from 1992 So it’s a lot had changed. Obviously prospecting wasn’t even there

Unknown Speaker 4:24
any questions? Is there a photo? Are you waving?

Speaker 3 4:32
No, there was nothing on over Third Avenue there was just a Wendy’s

Speaker 2 4:43
Mall. Yeah, we saw some of those in mixed dinners like the mall and there’s nothing else.

Unknown Speaker 4:49
Nothing else. So

Speaker 2 4:51
these I think will be really interesting for research purposes. And then last but not least, I believe these materials actually been here for a while, but it took me a little while to do research on it and to find the last living relative. Um,

Speaker 4 5:08
I think there’s one we do 302

Unknown Speaker 5:14
Okay.

Speaker 2 5:18
So this one Terri Sternberg lived in Longmont in the early 2000s. She had some men to the concert violinist, but she had some mental health issues that caused her to be in a hoarding situation that resulted in her house being taken away from her. And she was living on the streets in the 2010s of she passed away in 2013. But before she did, she had become a vocal advocate for the rights of unhoused people in the boulder area and was interviewed multiple times. There’s also a book of stories from people that were living on the streets. That was written by an author and nylons. I purchased that book to go with this. These, I believe are 100% sure that these must have been in her house and somehow survived one owner. The house was not conducted torn down as her only living relative thought it was but it was fixed up and I think it’s sold in the last couple of years and these must have been in the basement and no one in the last eight years have bothered moving them so the real estate agent had brought them here and yeah, it’s an interesting story. I kept a selection of things the other items are returned to her cousin that had nothing to do with Longmont but if we ever wanted to profile someone from that community, it seemed like an interesting selection of things. What happened to her she she was an alcoholic the Define housing for her in Boulder. She was found dead in her apartment she apparently so very tragic story all around her she was adopted her parents put a lot of pressure on her to be a but I think a lot of pressure on her to be really, really good in violin. She went she was she was from Florida. She moved to California was the principal violinist for the San Francisco Ballet. But I think according to a cousin her elbow is in it got her kicked out of that. And so she had been to Colorado for summer music festivals in the classical musical scene before so she decided to settle here and start a new life. But she had a lot of trauma from her parents also she was raped in college and she was in San Francisco and she was never able to get over that. So there’s just a lot, a lot in there. So it’s a it’s an interesting, so

Unknown Speaker 8:00
that’s where the trauma comes from. And the alcoholism, right.

Speaker 5 8:07
Or the possibility also the gotcha. Yeah, people Charles’s

Speaker 3 8:15
alcoholism usually stems from some kind of trauma. Yeah. That’s that’s a really sad, it’s

Speaker 2 8:24
beautiful. Yeah, she was really gorgeous. And we have pictures of her to your to the end of her life on. So a whole range of this woman’s life photographs.

Speaker 4 8:38
Yeah. Elizabeth for cracking down. It was literally like, here’s a box of stuff. And she was able to track down the story from, you know, the documents that were in, in that box. And it turned out to be a really a story. That’s very hard. Normally for museums to tell. I mean, the outhouse. Just not very often. That’s

Speaker 3 9:04
yeah. Have you written that for a story? I mean, not for publication. But have you written it up for researchers? So I

Speaker 2 9:13
think I need to get my notes into a more formal, which I will do for this. But yeah, it’s all kind of handwritten notes at this point. And also is what was most helpful is the daily camera had done news articles and interviews with her, but later on, there was a whole thing that what really led me to find a cousin was her violin was found in a pawn shop by a violin professor at one of the local schools here and he said that the violin, he was in terrible shape, that it was talking to him. And he wrote a whole piece. He figured out he actually knew her through like just general like violinists knowing each other. So when he said he wrote a whole musical piece, and there was a concert And then the newspaper covered that. And so I was able to contact the professor to get connected with her family to do the rest of the story. Suppose that she had her violence stolen shelters, and they calmed it

Speaker 2 10:19
down so that was your own for the day. And that’s all I have any other discussion on any of these? Why did she die? She doesn’t 13 She was born in verse 449.

Unknown Speaker 10:43
Questions about

Unknown Speaker 10:50
money anyone want to make on that to approve the exemptions

Unknown Speaker 11:01
vote

Unknown Speaker 11:04
nameless

Unknown Speaker 11:05
yes

Unknown Speaker 11:11
I think we have the director

Speaker 4 11:23
see, well, as you probably saw when you came in work is progressing nicely on board courtyard, actually pour the main slab for the new hardscape portion of the courtyard today. Out there. Now doing saw cutting the pattern is great pattern on and the curb and hardscape. And then also, we’re starting to put up steel for the performance. So you can really start to really take shape now and actually see what it’s going to feel like. It’s going to be a great addition to the museum. We are basically this summer, going to use it pretty lightly because we want the grass to grow. And so we’ll have our grand opening will be at the gala on September 7, we’ll have a few other things in there just kind of sneak previews and some use of it during our summer camps. For the most part, summer concerts we’re taking out to parks this summer. So being here. See, exhibits they are busily working on the Lego exhibition, you can see a list here of all the different things that will be in the Lego exhibit. June 1

Speaker 4 13:00
Our torium program programming Elizabeth and I did a program that highlighted a lot of museums photo collection was awesome 143 folks tickets found the show up while the

Speaker 4 13:27
education the art and CIP program, which happens on Thursday evenings. This spring, we’ve increased from one class to two classes every Thursday. And we have seen great response to that would take a while for those people to get familiar with. Oh, there’s now a fourth class to filling out quite well. And then summer camp. Last I heard we were at about 65% full summer camps. And we’ve already rewarded all 80 of the scholarships that are available this summer. pleased by that response. Collections, Elizabeth wrote grant COVID Cat Grant. Also have experts coming in assuming it’s funded to look at the museum’s collections and also the museum building. So actually have a conservator that looks at collection side and then more of a building expert that will look at each vac system on the roof and all those kinds of things. So that’s kind of early step two. Creating a new long range plan for the next steps to upgrading our collections care further rounds down.

Speaker 4 15:14
in public places, and collections who actually did a collaboration are going places was contacted by the children, youth and families division are known as the Youth Center. They had a mural, probably in the 1990s, to murals that they no longer wanted. And so, rather than just have them tossed out in public places work with collections to store them, Elizabeth is going to do some more research and see if we can figure out who painted them what the story is behind them. And if it makes sense to add them into the museum’s collection, you’ll see them on a future session list. Your development I think last month, we talked about the touch a truck fundraiser on June 22. Looking on getting sponsorships for that. And continuing obviously a lot of work on capital campaign with another matching challenge that’ll be coming up in April, where we’re hoping to get as broad match as possible as many people it’s a $5 gift or a $50 gift gift. Or we match very generous donor. Got some of the stats. We can see so 2023 We have duality contemporary indigenous art, see very similar attendance to picturing last January it was a little bit low, partly because the gallery was closed for a week. First. And it’s all pretty good increase in ticket sales. Thanks February year over year in January, we have one program in January 23. To see growth were also hit a milestone recently. We are now over 1000 members belong museum first time ever was not that long ago, we have 400 members pleased to see that growth. See the marketing mentions the auditorium program shall pass around what that is take on and pass it on. So this is a brochure that if you go to any program at the auditorium, the actual program of that event is that inside this so we have a nice, glossy, full color program that gets us usually reused several times that folks often don’t keep it at the end of the event. But it gives people a chance as they’re waiting for the event to read about museums see what’s coming on what’s happening. And then also has a nice, nice cover for the program. Also, if you’re on Instagram and Facebook, we’ve been doing a lot of posts about it, construction about some of the programs that are going on. So please follow us on Instagram and Facebook. And volunteers evaluation coordination. We just had another prototyping event yesterday, March team for Lego exhibit. So had some kind of rough versions of some of the interactives that we’re gonna have in Lego was a chance for public to come in, try them out, see what was working, see if there are any problems that then could be resolved before we do the final versions for you Any questions about the directors report?

Speaker 6 20:11
Can you tell us anything more about the beta testing for the pre K field

Unknown Speaker 20:15
trip program

Speaker 4 20:24
so, the birthday parties and field trips, basically what we’re going to be offering is opportunities that are very much aligned with our current discovery days program. So it will either will have a field trip, like a pre K group come in and do discovery day’s activity, and it will just be that class rather than the general public. So gets a chance to bring in folks, various pre K ‘s around the area, and then the birthday party is we see potential for some significant revenue generation. So the discovery days, birthday parties will kind of be in our first test, essentially, the lab after the last of our discovery days, hands on early childhood programs in this for the day on a Friday or a Saturday, then we’ll have discovery days birthday party. So typically, for the younger kids, you know, four or five, six year olds, come in, have a discovery days experience, the same crafts, same themes we do during regular discovery days, and then adjourn to the adjoining room for taking cannabis. So we’re going to try that out. We are hoping it will be well received. And then in the fall, we are anticipating doing is adding on birthday parties tied to the Lego. So again, be either an evening or a Sunday morning when we’re not open. And if those are successful, then we plan to kind of implement that as an ongoing program. Once our children’s gallery opens in 2006. Kind of looking at ways to bring in more revenue that can support programs throughout the museum. Properties folks with with kids know, can be very expensive, and often not that educational. So we want to try and you know, both have revenue, but also really make it an educational experience.

Speaker 1 22:50
So I mean, it’s kind of trying to figure out the price adjustments in the beta phase.

Speaker 4 22:56
Yeah, it’s it’s kind of like, you know, what’s going to be competitive pricing, how many kids is going to be a good maximum? How is it going to work have you know how many people are going to need to be in the gallery and, and then you know, getting those kids in and we’re going to use our classroom D for a cake like that, because it’s the one around this, that really rendered on a regular basis. So we’re set up for the discovery days. So there’s just kind of a lot of the logistics that test out before we do a big announcement of these available to

Unknown Speaker 23:40
Thursday night music to the parks Cardenas.

Speaker 4 23:48
So we’re going to do three concerts one and call your part one in car park, because I’m in North Longmont and one in Willow Farm Park, which is southwest lawn. And those were chosen both to be kind of geographically diverse, and also kind of the best fits logistically. Either there’s parking or they’re in fairly walkable neighborhoods, walk walking to the concerts. I think generally our sense is, this is a one year thing. We really like having concerts here at the museum. And we’re excited to have the courtyard but this summer, just didn’t feel like we’re going to be quite ready for it. So to keep our concert series going to kind of keep people aware that the museum is doing concerts that’s why we decided to bring them out into the parks so will be a good experiment. Guessing well probably making a one year experiment just given the challenges and the logistics on the cost or we have to bring in on stage. But yeah, come on out for any of them. We’ll, we’ll be announcing the dates in our in our program catalog.

Speaker 6 25:31
Don’t have our portfolio chair? Does anyone have any unfinished business

Speaker 1 25:36
address? Then I have listed for new business, that it’s time for recruitment to fill the vacancies on our board and commission application

Speaker 6 25:49
deadline is the buying team. Anyone know someone who will be a good fit? It’s interesting.

Speaker 4 25:59
Let’s see. So we have three vacant spots on the board. And your term is up. So just filling a partial turn. Apply. Wonderful, very good.

Unknown Speaker 26:20
Work tough Corrado.

Speaker 4 26:26
So at any inquiries, I do have one person who is very interested a professor from Front Range Community College. Caitlin Flanagan, Caitlin keen. She’s actually worked with us a couple of times on some donation, potential donations to the collection. So I reached out to her, because she seems pretty engaged museums. She actually almost came tonight. She was like, oh, when’s the next meeting? I want to come. Actually, tonight, she was like, Oh, well, can’t quite make it for tonight. But he said she was gonna be putting in an application. So we’re also hoping to get some more

Unknown Speaker 27:15
this vacancy include Bubs position.

Speaker 4 27:17
So we have three vacancies plus box plus one, three, total. So you know, love to have more diversity on the board is really great, ticular wide variety of voices around the table talking about what? What is going on, and just being ambassadors out into the community. If you know, folks, by all means, but I think I did email out to everybody the link to the application. So it goes through the city clerk’s office. Now know, and I think most of you have been a part of recent ones, where it’s actually board members, who are the ones that do the first interview. So we will be looking for board members to be on the interview panel. Once applications close on,

Speaker 7 28:23
I thought we could have artificial intelligence.

Unknown Speaker 28:30
And no one would be

Speaker 4 28:33
I have to say, Jared, our staff has done amazing things with AI and some of the, the concepts that he’s come up with, like for our children’s Gallery, where, you know, he’ll tell the AI Okay, here’s, here’s what I want. And it puts a picture. That’s like, that’s amazing. It’s, you know, beautiful renderings of galleries now. We still have to build them. Hey, I can’t do that for us. Yeah.

Speaker 3 29:00
That you’ll be sued for copyright infringement.

Speaker 2 29:04
We were trying to get it to give us a big night underwater mermaid cafe for the Seaway it came up with and we’d be like, more purple more shells in the region with

Unknown Speaker 29:24
and then, is there anything else from 2023

Speaker 4 29:30
and around so this was not done in time for packet. Two. So this is a summary of what we did last year. I thought it might be nice to have on one page. All of the programming and rentals for that museum dibs. 606 programs 25 1000 People $245,000 in revenue and a wide variety of different types of programs, Discovery days or childhood films camps. We just fairly recently like last year was our first year starting teen program. And we’ve definitely seen that grow. This year, we now have typically around 10 to 12 kids per sessions. See last year, we have five or six for her program. So it’s it’s basically a drop in craft and create program. So it’s kind of discovery days for teenagers, they come in, there’s craft materials available. Often there’s there’s a theme and they kind of talk about what’s going to be the theme for for the next week’s one. So they have an opportunity to kind of help create a program. And that is led by one of our newer education staff members, Henry Anderson, who is in his early 20s. And very interesting guys, getting a degree in archaeology and also has a lot of pop culture expertise, kind of a great fit for them. Our CIP 2023 We did 25 This year will more than double that. Concerts won’t do quite as many concerts because that includes seven outdoor concerts this year. Our school tour program is still definitely coming back from COVID. It was just basically wiped out during COVID. And a lot of those school tours are individual connection that teacher has with the museum and so many teachers have moved on. That’s a program we’re going to build over time. walking tours, that’s something that will be transitioning this year. Me to Elizabeth and then talks in the auditorium, holiday programs, variety of other programs, exhibit openings and of course, the Muertos or biggest festival which is held in downtown every year. Over 5000 people. Plus then rental events. We have our most rentals and our highest revenue in rentals. Program has come roaring back after COVID.

Unknown Speaker 32:58
Post COVID

Speaker 4 33:03
for at least the COVID normal I don’t know COVID extended any questions on the program about COVID By the way, we’ve done some collecting we’ve got a lot of photographs during COVID around town. But I think there’s still more to do newspapers and newspapers we when you have some vaccine vials put out the first vials of vaccine using long arm

Unknown Speaker 33:49
to get the test to

Unknown Speaker 33:50
Yeah, we should we should

Unknown Speaker 33:54
we should relax

Speaker 3 33:57
me down Main Street when I when I shut everything down. There’s nothing

Unknown Speaker 34:03
completely scared ghost town. It was so

Speaker 4 34:08
weird. Yeah. Really, really. Photos of the signs on the street

Speaker 4 34:26
I know I should have taken it forward. So we’re actually one of the collections that are still working on. So this is a new series. This is kind of a summary of the programming that we did in 2023. We’re just talking a little bit about I mentioned this is kind of the first fall we feel like post COVID year programming

Unknown Speaker 34:58
yeah So

Speaker 4 35:02
we are seeing most of our programs returned to what they were 2019 The one big exception being school tours that are still still building back. Definitely a lot of growth, programming and, and a lot of lot of more growth coming in. And 24 We’re expanding number of our education programs, Discovery days program has added more sessions, the hardest set was adding more session or birthday parties this kind of a test. And

Speaker 3 35:47
then what’s what’s, what’s the age span?

Speaker 4 35:52
We’re gonna start with like the three to six year olds that are tying into our discovery days audience. And then when we have the ones for Lego, I think we’ll probably do up to about age 12.

Speaker 4 36:13
So some of those details, we’re still working out the reasons for calling this a beta test to figure out exactly what’s our sweet spot? Oh, yeah, I was I was mentioning, Bruce was asking about kind of how we document COVID. So one of the we have one potential board member who actually took photographs of all the churches around long line, and the signs on them close due to COVID. What they were saying because she has multiple different subjects, but one of them is religion. And so trying to get get her to donate those, those photos to Museum’s collection.

Unknown Speaker 37:07
Gave me a blog today.

Unknown Speaker 37:11
But she gave me a

Speaker 2 37:12
link to a blog. And then she said it will take her a little more time to get me original files.

Unknown Speaker 37:17
So some blogger for photography,

Unknown Speaker 37:20
the churches during

Unknown Speaker 37:22
churches, and she

Speaker 2 37:24
specifically was interested in what the signs are saying. Yeah. The kind of messages that we’re putting out there. Yeah.

Speaker 7 37:34
Of course, quite a few of the little churches around Old Town have been turned into residences.

Speaker 4 37:40
Yeah, yeah. Christian Science church as a residence. And the one yeah

Unknown Speaker 37:52
prep. Also, yeah, the city right. The other one for the prep. That was pictured right across the top so

Unknown Speaker 38:06
yeah, that’s the Christian Science.

Speaker 2 38:11
And ironically, it’s sort of a thing for churches speedster halls house

Unknown Speaker 38:19
who bought the other 116

Speaker 7 38:21
Sherman are the following Oh long speech wants T shirts was up for sale someone bought another little church or is this someone

Speaker 4 38:41
I don’t know. Yeah, that’s because you look straight down. Right at the end

Unknown Speaker 38:49
that’s right there

Speaker 4 38:52
yeah, so landmark Yeah, there’s definitely you’re seeing churches turn over into other other uses long

Unknown Speaker 39:04
was becoming secularized.

Speaker 4 39:12
Any other questions on the programming list? is greater

Unknown Speaker 39:22
than 600 programs

Speaker 3 39:26
the cutter need to expand the team program we’re really pleased that those kids are so unhappy now. That when you ban the fall the fall in the building or anxiety level we’re

Speaker 2 39:48
told my team volunteers in Broomfield How I wish there would be like a camp for adults where you would be no internet and they just looked at me like why would you want that? Oh because you have have no idea what it was before. So much better.

Speaker 4 40:07
Yeah, yeah, the teen teen program, as most museums really struggle. Yeah. It’s exciting that our program started in 23. And, and it’s now was like five or six kids now it’s like 10 to 12. So

Speaker 3 40:28
what’s the age? Age span of those kids? Um,

Speaker 4 40:32
I think, for the most part, it’s probably the Junior High High School.

Unknown Speaker 40:38
early high school.

Unknown Speaker 40:47
Most change in personality.

Speaker 3 40:48
Yeah. No junior high school. Wow. That’s about the worst age.

Speaker 5 40:54
Once entire lifetime. We have a whole lot of programming today. Yeah, exactly. That’s that’s part of the problem. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 41:01
exactly. And

Speaker 5 41:03
we really need to do more, because we’re having inputs of drugs. Are we? Yes, there’s a huge amount of drug abuse going on crap. And, of course, I think we’ve been lucky in terms of guns. Because Dempo is like crazy. But it’s a it’s a tough time for kids and the programming. I remember I once had an idea of kids to run an ice cream shop called Sunday’s su N. D. was thinking about that and having them tie it to school and having them be able to run it and work learn about Ontario.

Speaker 2 41:55
Have a friend who runs a program with a nonprofit in Waltham, Massachusetts, where they run a bookstore?

Speaker 5 42:01
Yeah, I think we need to do more of that. With really teach kids about one of the things I remember I devise a program where we’re teaching them about kids about taking care of themselves living skills. bankbook all this stuff that they don’t know about, and could use the responsibility. Yeah. Financial

Unknown Speaker 42:28
literacy. Yes.

Speaker 5 42:32
anymore. It’s never been just basic. It should be basic financial skills and living skills, how to take care of yourself. Yeah.

Speaker 4 42:39
So yeah, we’re, we’re certainly, Ah,

Unknown Speaker 42:43
there you go. By

Speaker 4 42:47
what we’ve what we’ve accomplished, the teen teen audience is definitely a hard audience to reach. And so we hope to build on what we’ve done with the team craft.

Speaker 8 43:00
Do have a life skills fair coming up at the border county fairgrounds, this month?

Unknown Speaker 43:09
It has to be a captive audience. You can’t graduate unless you know something about financial literacy.

Speaker 5 43:23
And it should be it should be an ongoing class where the kids have to fill out bank accounts, bank books, you know, and learn how to process the money how to deal with banks, how to do it online credit or credit card

Speaker 3 43:38
even investing? I mean, just Yes, very basic concepts.

Speaker 1 43:42
Yeah. What is happening on Fridays right now? Is that the David Henry,

Unknown Speaker 43:48
Wednesday with a tea

Speaker 1 43:55
or something that is going to try to move towards revenue? Or is it more important to kind of get

Unknown Speaker 44:00
that audience in the door?

Speaker 4 44:03
I think we’d like kind of a break even eventually, with it, we started out as free just. But actually, we are getting some folks just giving a donation and saying, you know, I know it’s not required, but I do want to pay for the cost of materials. So we’re pleased about that. And that’s kind of I think, the direction we want to see. And, you know, I don’t think it’s going to be one of our big revenue generators, but really important.

Speaker 1 44:40
Like revenue numbers, like when does every day’s revenue numbers are here. Like is that not including like the cost of materials, like this is the revenue.

Speaker 4 44:51
So discovery days is another program that is definitely not breaking even and we don’t anticipate that it will. It’s real. The so that revenue is the entire revenue from all the kids and parents coming in, we do also get some grant funding to support that program. Because it’s just such an important aspect that early childhood exposure to museums and, and also that program is very much geared toward adult child interactions and, and our facilitators will work with parents about like, oh, you know, like redirecting if a child is maybe misbehaving in a way, that’s not like stop that, but you know, in a way that’s a little more effective. And so, you know, they’re very much trained around how to basically teach skills to parents that come into this every day, how to work, not take over the project allow the child to do the project, but kind of support them in that that program was our largest program in terms of attendance, and one of our longest running programs in writing
