Canvas or glossy prints run about $1 each when ink cost is included. I don't know what Walgreens prices are but it might be good to check that out.

      Hi Jim,

      No burden at all... I like a robust agenda!

      I plan to work on the agenda today and email it to everyone tomorrow latest. I will run it by you to make sure I am not missing any of the items you had suggested.

      Regarding the photos for members... my initial thought was to print up some nice 5x7 glossies and send one to every member in the next newsletter as a "thank you" for being a member, and then outline some incentives for recruiting other members. Incentives such as offering six or eight other photos to choose from for every member recruited. 

      I like your idea of an 8x10 printed on canvas paper though... perhaps we could offer that as the reward and still stick with the glossies to all members due to cost... what do you think? Do you know the approximate cost of printing 8x10s on canvas?

      Thanks Jim,
      Tracy

      Not to burden down the meeting with a lot of agenda items, but a couple of short  ones that are important:

      Concerning the time capsule being placed at Tripp:
      the Tripp board would like suggestions of an article in the Star and the Eagle about the ADS time capsule.
      I will have a document ready for board members to sign (if they so wish) on the day it is placed. 

      Jack Berndt asked for some information on the ADS time capsule to be used in their newsletter. Following is what I emailed to him tonight...feel free to edit:

      For the newsletter: I have been working with the ADS archives for several years, and with the possibility of the time capsule coming true, have dedicated this past year in digitizing ADS collections of over 500 pictures, newspaper articles, 155 Derleth Journal Entries, Wisconsin Historical Society collection of 156 Derleth personal letters, all of the ADS Newsletters from the beginning to current date, audio archives, video archives. This information is on gold plated discs in binary formats that should be readable 100 years from this year. The gold plated discs are advertised to be readable for 150 years. By using pdf scans, all of the text and picture files are stored on a relatively few discs. The audio and video files are stored on popular formats of today. Research on formats and other archiving methods have been studied and used during the processing of the discs. My time has been donated and the cost of archived materials funded by the ADS. Another project that coincided with this project is the archiving of the Gunnar Johansen master collection of over 1000 analog audio tapes being digitized for his estate. I have working with the executor of the Gunnar and Lorraine Johansen Trust for the past four years.

      Finally, I think it worth considering that a portrait painting of Hugo & Augie be made, professionally.  One of modest size (~30" X 40"), that could be displayed at various locations during related celebrations and continuously at the libraries, museums, SPCC, River Arts, etc. The ADS has done practically nothing for Hugo in recognizing his bequeaths.

      BTW...I think your idea of awarding an 8X10 picture of Derleth on the RR Bridge for bringing in new members is good. I can make them on canvas paper.
