Meeting began at 7:00 p.m.<br />
Those present:<br />
John Morlock<br />
Charlie Pitt<br />
Debbie Ramirez<br />
Linda Neville<br />
Mary Mitchell<br />
Mary Jensen<br />
 <br />
Treasurer's report:  &#36;222.62 in the bank.  Linda Neville had outstanding bills, but she decided to donate the amount of &#36;42.00.<br />
 <br />
John reported comments from the movies shown December 3rd.  Many said they didn't know anything about it.  However, Mary Michell had hand delivered flyers to about half the town announcing the coming movie time and place.  Also the information about the movie was posted various places and was also included in the town letter.   Others, Curtis Abraham said he thought it was very good.  He hadn't seen anything like the movies shown.<br />
There were 6 people who had volunteered to help.  One was a security back stage, 1 ticket taker, 2 concenssion people, 1 projecter operator, 1 security in the foyer. <br />
    The building was cold.  Not only the theater itself, but the foyer also.  An electric heater would have helped in the silo.  In the future John will ask to have the heat turned on previous to the showing of the movie.<br />
There were 10 tickets sold. <br />
    While John was setting up the movie the town employees and mayor wanted to know where the equipment that had been there was located.  Chuck Brightly knew where the equipment was and John was taken there.  To those who knew the school previously we called it the old band room located to the west of the auditorium stage.<br />
    Linda congratulated John for good way he had set up the stage for projection.  He had also given a spiel before the movie that she thought was good.  He also announced that donations would be appreciated.<br />
    In the future we will need signs along the sidewalks on sandwich boards to announce the movie.  Also there is a need for better advertizing through the area.<br />
    The idea of non-profit organizations was discussed.  In our mission statement it is written that we are a non-profit organization with hopes to develop better relationships in the town. <br />
    John asked how often we should show movies.  LInda suggested that once a month on the first Saturday of each month was a good time.  Those present agreed.  During the summer months we may decide to show movies more often.<br />
    It had been decided in previous meeting that profits from the showing of movies would be divided 50% - 50% with town and BCO.<br />
    At the next meeting of the Town Council John will present to the town John will prepare a proposal for the town regarding movies shown.<br />
    The agenda John had prepared included mention of a meeting John and Linda had had with Richard Hawley.  Richard is the grant and project co-ordinator for Senator Mike Enzi.   Two options were given during the meeting and Richard suggested they we use both of them to move our grant applications forward.  John suggested to table the discussion.<br />
    A future meeting concerning Mr. Hawley's recommendations will be scheduled.<br />
    Caroling together with the LDS Young Men and Young Women will be Wednesday December14th.  We will meet at the town hall and then go to the LDS church and join with the group there.<br />
    Future activities: <br />
Bingo:  It was decided to have a Friday night bingo activity on the 3rd Friday of January.  John will check on-line for cards and poker chips and other equipment for bingo.  We will need prizes.  The board is to ask for prizes from various stores etc.  Two dollars will be ticket price.  The winner of the last game will split the ticket money with the organization.<br />
Den:  The Den has proven to be ineffective.  That activity has been cancelled.<br />
Flea Market:  In the future, perhaps in the summer.  We need to have things that really have value to include in the flea market.<br />
Variety Show:  Something like "Byron Idols", or the "Byron Gong Show".   We want it to be fun where people can have a good time.  We will look to possible late summer times.<br />
 <br />
The meeting was adjourned at 8:37 p.m.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into<br />
high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply<br />
produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of<br />
American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will<br />
give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no<br />
longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that<br />
is produced by American hands. Yes there is!<br />
<br />
It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to<br />
fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?<br />
<br />
Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift<br />
certificates from your local American hair salon or barber or nail<br />
salon?<br />
<br />
Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about<br />
some health improvement.<br />
<br />
Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American<br />
owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift<br />
certificate or a book of gift certificates.<br />
<br />
Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking<br />
down the Ben Franklins on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that<br />
grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed<br />
for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local<br />
golf course.<br />
<br />
There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift<br />
certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what<br />
about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember,<br />
folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting<br />
your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to<br />
keep their doors open.<br />
<br />
How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or<br />
motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?<br />
<br />
Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services<br />
of a local cleaning lady for a day.<br />
<br />
My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy<br />
who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.<br />
<br />
OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people<br />
spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and<br />
pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.<br />
<br />
Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and<br />
leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play<br />
or ballet at your hometown theater.<br />
<br />
Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.<br />
<br />
Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand<br />
Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of<br />
light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those<br />
kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a<br />
nice BIG tip.<br />
<br />
You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so<br />
that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about<br />
caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep<br />
plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other<br />
Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back<br />
to us in ways we couldn't imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas<br />
tradition.]]></description>

folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting<br />
your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to<br />
keep their doors open.<br />
<br />
How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or<br />
motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?<br />
<br />
Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services<br />
of a local cleaning lady for a day.<br />
<br />
My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy<br />
who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.<br />
<br />
OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people<br />
spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and<br />
pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.<br />
<br />
Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and<br />
leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play<br />
or ballet at your hometown theater.<br />
<br />
Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.<br />
<br />
Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand<br />
Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of<br />
light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those<br />
kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a<br />
nice BIG tip.<br />
<br />
You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so<br />
that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about<br />
caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep<br />
plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other<br />
Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back<br />
to us in ways we couldn't imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas<br />
tradition.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[John Morlock presiding<br />
Those in attendance were:  John Morlock, Charlie Pitt, Mary Mitchell, Christy Petrich, and Mary Jensen<br />
Purpose of Meeting:  To make decisions concerning the showing of movies beginning on December 3, 2011.<br />
 <br />
John explained to those in attendance the type of movie that will be shown.  It will include the movie, cartoons, newsreels and will run for approximately 2 hours.<br />
 <br />
A motion was made by Mary Jensen and seconded by Charlie Pitt and approved by the board to begin the movie program with a Saturday showing from 4-6 p.m.<br />
 <br />
John responded to a question of how many volunteers would be required for the movie as follows:<br />
1 person to take tickets<br />
1 person for the concession stand<br />
1 person for backstage security and to work the lights<br />
1 person for the projector<br />
1 person for security in the foyer.<br />
 <br />
John further told the group we need to have volunteers ready to help.  He thought that originally the volunteers would just be board members, but he hoped to have others join who were willing to help.<br />
 <br />
The Town of Byron has given Byron Community Outreach permission to try the program.  The next board meeting of town officers will be after the December 3rd showing.  After that initial showing a proposal would be submitted to the Town Council for approval to continue with the program.<br />
 <br />
A motion was made by Charlie Pitt and seconded by Mary Jensen that compensation for the use of the building would be 50% of the profits.  The motion was carried. <br />
 <br />
The town has decided to maintain the building's temperature this winter at 55 or 60 degrees.  The auditorium has an additional thermostat function to allow the auditorium to be heated to a warmer temperature temporarily.<br />
 <br />
It was agreed to have a Christmas Eve showing, but to move the time of the movie to 2-4 p.m.<br />
 <br />
Assignments were made for the movie as follows: <br />
Charlie Pitt would buy supplies for the concession stand and would initially man it.  Vicki Gibson would allow BCO to use her popcorn machine.  John believed there would be Halloween candy on sale now. <br />
 <br />
Mary Jensen would begin the advertizing for the movie.  Mary Mitchell would assist Mary J. with advertizing.  John would like the communities around Byron to also know of these old movie experiences.  We could include advertizing on the Byron web site and on Facebook.  We could also look at what free advertizing can be done through other media such as the Northwest College radio station.    <br />
John would be the technical director. <br />
We would need 2 additional volunteers.<br />
<br />
John would like to have a schedule of volunteers for The Den.<br />
 <br />
Meeting was adjourned at 10:45.<br />
 <br />
Respectfully submitted, Mary L. Jensen]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[That's right, the BCO just received permission from the Town Council to begin showing movies in the auditorium of the Byron Plaza Building (the old school building). But the BCO couldn't just show any old movie, no, we're showing the REAL old movies. That's right, here's your chance to really experience what it was like to go to a theater in the 30s, 40s and 50s. These old movies are shown with 2, 3, or even 4 short cartoons, a running weekly serial, and a feature film you just can't see anymore. Cartoons like Popeye, Betty Boop, Superman and many more classics. Plus, a running serial of the old, campy, sci-fi thrillers that will keep you coming back week after week. You won't want to miss an episode. Top that all off with the old classics starring John Wayne, Bela Legosi, Roy Rogers, Steve Reeves and all your old favorites. See the exploits of Buck Rogers, The 'New' Adventures of Tarzan, Laurel and Hardy and many more classics.<br />
<br />
Believe me, this is not just going to see a movie...This is a TRUE old time theater experience. You'll want to make this a weekly ritual just like gathering around the radio used to be.<br />
<br />
The first movie experience will be Saturday, December 3rd. I'll post the times as soon as we have a special board meeting and hammer out the details. <br />

There are just two factors limiting our ability to see them through, they are, funds, and volunteers. We are diligently working on the funds issue and are making good progress. Where we need help is in the area of volunteering. At present, we need volunteers to set up and offer coffee and juice in the Den. This is done Monday through Friday from 7am to noon. If you can cover just one day a week, or every other week, it would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
     Also, we will need people to volunteer for other projects in the future. Monitors and ticket takers for future theater events. Maintenance folks who could help create and maintain a skating rink. These are just a couple of areas that we may need help. If you are willing to help in the future, please contact a Board Member and let them know. Of course, you can always contact me at (307) 254-8168.<br />
