Yeah, well 448 00:25:24,033 --> 00:25:25,166 - Why don't you, who did it? 449 00:25:25,266 --> 00:25:27,934 Tell us what you would and then we'll jump in. 450 00:25:28,066 --> 00:25:32,100 - Okay. So the funding for this program was about $500. 451 00:25:32,734 --> 00:25:34,433 So that wasn't bad for a, 452 00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:38,567 so we would anticipate it probably would be 453 00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:41,133 a little less for next year. 454 00:25:43,734 --> 00:25:48,367 So in terms of the when to hold the ceremony, 455 00:25:48,834 --> 00:25:51,000 I thought having it at the Brass Band concert 456 00:25:51,367 --> 00:25:53,166 before the Brass band concert when, 457 00:25:53,433 --> 00:25:58,333 - When I missed that - It Oh, when to hold. 458 00:25:58,433 --> 00:26:01,000 Yeah. The event of the award 459 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,100 - Suggestion I missed. 460 00:26:02,533 --> 00:26:05,233 - So this year we held 461 00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:10,066 the award ceremony in the summer at a brass band concert. 462 00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:12,734 Now, typically a lot of people, 463 00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:17,433 organizations like ours hold it during preservation month. 464 00:26:19,767 --> 00:26:23,100 But I thought having it during the summer in front of a, 465 00:26:23,333 --> 00:26:25,166 an at a brass band concert was good. 466 00:26:25,266 --> 00:26:29,100 So I think that's something that we need to decide. I 467 00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:30,133 - Think that was excellent. 468 00:26:30,133 --> 00:26:32,266 If you had it all by itself, 469 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,634 frankly we wouldn't get a quarter of the turnout. 470 00:26:37,333 --> 00:26:39,834 - I agree with Pam. I think we need to associate it with 471 00:26:40,333 --> 00:26:42,100 an event that's already happening. 472 00:26:43,266 --> 00:26:47,634 I don't recall if there's an annual, something 473 00:26:47,634 --> 00:26:52,433 that happens in May, but I would favor 474 00:26:53,033 --> 00:26:58,000 July over not having any event, you know, to that 475 00:26:58,066 --> 00:26:59,300 that's organized like that 476 00:27:00,567 --> 00:27:04,133 because people are stationary as opposed to moving around 477 00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:06,166 and, you know, like a festival. 478 00:27:07,066 --> 00:27:08,700 Yeah. Yeah. 479 00:27:08,767 --> 00:27:12,433 I think that would be a, that would be ideal. 480 00:27:12,433 --> 00:27:14,100 Unless there's something in 481 00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,700 preservation month that we can do. 482 00:27:15,934 --> 00:27:17,734 - Yeah, I, I agree. Yeah, 483 00:27:17,934 --> 00:27:21,033 - I think the first concert would be 484 00:27:21,033 --> 00:27:24,867 because people usually are anticipating the concerts 485 00:27:24,867 --> 00:27:27,300 and they say, well, I'm gonna go to the first one anyway. 486 00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:33,033 That's what we said. And then things get in the way. 487 00:27:33,934 --> 00:27:34,934 I thought it was good. 488 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,667 - I did too. So I'll be in con in contact with the 489 00:27:40,133 --> 00:27:41,934 brass band organization 490 00:27:42,033 --> 00:27:45,734 and it's asking them if we could par partner 491 00:27:45,767 --> 00:27:47,000 with them again in the future. 492 00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:53,867 So in terms of our, a next item, our judging committee, 493 00:27:54,533 --> 00:27:57,233 I thought, you know, we really worked really well together 494 00:27:58,133 --> 00:28:00,634 as, as the historic, the Heritage Commission. 495 00:28:00,634 --> 00:28:03,000 We worked really well putting together a formula. 496 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,367 Pam, you were key to that. 497 00:28:05,567 --> 00:28:07,233 It was, I thought it worked out very well. 498 00:28:08,033 --> 00:28:10,433 But would we wanna expand our judging committee? 499 00:28:11,266 --> 00:28:12,533 - No, we wouldn't. 500 00:28:15,834 --> 00:28:17,433 - Should be us. - Hmm. 501 00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:22,100 If we expand it, then it will no longer be our appropriate. 502 00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:26,100 - Okay. I'm not opposed to that. 503 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,266 - Well, but that brings the question up. 504 00:28:27,266 --> 00:28:30,900 If we wanna have like the preservation 505 00:28:31,367 --> 00:28:32,934 alliance and the representative from there. 506 00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:36,333 Okay. That's a, you know, either or. 507 00:28:38,066 --> 00:28:42,000 - Yes.

But I, I don't, 513 00:29:00,233 --> 00:29:01,533 - Well, I would definitely have this 514 00:29:01,533 --> 00:29:03,266 person not be a voting member. Yeah. 515 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,634 - Because they will not have been with us to each, 516 00:29:09,367 --> 00:29:11,166 to eyeball each site. 517 00:29:15,834 --> 00:29:19,033 - Okay. - That process went very well in terms of us going 518 00:29:19,033 --> 00:29:21,166 to visit the sites and talking to the people. 519 00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:26,634 I thought it went very well. I'm not opposed 520 00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:30,100 to keeping the judging within our committee. 521 00:29:31,066 --> 00:29:32,100 I'm not opposed to that. 522 00:29:36,634 --> 00:29:41,533 So moving on with our nomination form, 523 00:29:42,133 --> 00:29:47,033 we didn't put any categories like businesses 524 00:29:47,033 --> 00:29:50,767 or homes, places or whatever. 525 00:29:51,500 --> 00:29:54,000 And I thought that was okay. 526 00:29:54,266 --> 00:29:57,634 - That worked fine.

That happened with another committee 575 00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:27,900 that was meeting for years and, 576 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,867 and keeping all their records in the chairman's office. 577 00:32:32,033 --> 00:32:34,266 And somebody came in and asked for some information 578 00:32:34,767 --> 00:32:38,133 and it wasn't here, it was that the chairs of Okay. 579 00:32:38,133 --> 00:32:39,133 Home. 580 00:32:40,433 --> 00:32:44,900 - Okay. I will get that information together. 581 00:32:45,233 --> 00:32:49,500 Okay. So in this particular year, 582 00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:51,634 we did not keep the winner's secret. 583 00:32:51,934 --> 00:32:53,333 And I thought that worked out well. 584 00:32:54,066 --> 00:32:57,667 We publicized ahead of time, who got the awards, 585 00:32:58,033 --> 00:32:59,133 why they got the awards. 586 00:32:59,934 --> 00:33:02,734 And I thought it really did, one of the things 587 00:33:02,734 --> 00:33:07,500 that we wanted it to do was inform the public about 588 00:33:09,233 --> 00:33:14,166 the importance of our heritage and our history 589 00:33:14,166 --> 00:33:18,333 and what these particular winners did 590 00:33:20,567 --> 00:33:23,133 in terms of promoting, preserving, 591 00:33:23,266 --> 00:33:25,367 and our heritage and history. 592 00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:29,033 - See, I would, would've disagreed, 593 00:33:29,166 --> 00:33:31,033 but it didn't make any difference in the end 594 00:33:31,033 --> 00:33:32,667 because we still got a big crowd. 595 00:33:33,734 --> 00:33:36,734 - Okay. - Yeah. I was afraid that once everybody knows 596 00:33:36,734 --> 00:33:39,333 who won, then only the people who won would show up. 597 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,867 - Okay. - Yeah. Well that's why if we tie it in 598 00:33:41,867 --> 00:33:45,433 with something like the band council, I think it's good. 599 00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:49,133 And, and it's nice for the people getting the award 600 00:33:49,133 --> 00:33:50,900 that they have a, a month 601 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,333 or whatever to get people coming on 602 00:33:54,333 --> 00:33:56,133 and say, Hey Jack, that's great. 603 00:33:56,133 --> 00:33:57,133 You know? 604 00:33:58,100 --> 00:34:00,533 - Okay. - Well, I see now I agree with Pam 605 00:34:00,533 --> 00:34:03,634 because I'm used to how the Preservation Alliance does it 606 00:34:04,033 --> 00:34:06,500 and they let the person know that they've been awarded it 607 00:34:06,533 --> 00:34:08,133 so they, you'll be sure that they come 608 00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:09,500 to the awarding ceremony. 609 00:34:10,133 --> 00:34:15,000 Yeah.

It's, it's very touching. 630 00:35:13,066 --> 00:35:15,634 - So one of the things that I thought worked out really well 631 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,767 is the actual award that we gave to the winners. 632 00:35:19,834 --> 00:35:22,333 Yeah. I liked that award for this year, 633 00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:26,567 but we're gonna have to think of an appropriate award 634 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,500 to give out in the future. 635 00:35:29,734 --> 00:35:31,066 - I liked it and I don't, 636 00:35:31,667 --> 00:35:34,667 but again, we don't have to lock ourselves into it.
