Fishers Island Community Center Board
Meeting Minutes for 7/11/05, 6:00pm
Fishers Island Office
1. Status of cooperation legal formation -John
This is still in the works by John. He has a copy of the incorporation-not-for-profit
law and the paperwork from Waterman's on how to set up a not-for-profit org. Any
money collected before this is established can be filtered through the FICA 501c4.
The grant will go through the town, so that is not a problem either. The Cooperate
Committee is John Spofford, Judi Imbriglio, and Sarah Moody.
It was decided that the Board members for the inc. would be
Judi Imbriglio
John Spofford
Sara McLean
Sarah Moody
Grace Burr
Gail Cypherd
Hanes Parsons Jr.
Mark Bordon
Rosemary Baue
Scott Reid
Jeanne Schultz
2. Establishment of sub-committees

This group will set up meetings with Bruce and help him as needed.
Program Development -Gail Cypherd, Sara McLean, Grace Burr
This group will feed into the Building Committee as needed and continue to
develop program parameters.
Management -Karla will be the Chair
3. Logo Report
Heidi is sending us her redo based on the suggestions Karla and Judi made on
Thursday nights meeting and Mere emailed her. The decision is to use round logo
(C.) from the last batch she sent but with a larger more tilted Island, just 98 on the
flag and the word center to be right side up. John is taking this design to Groton Tees
on Tuesday 7/12 to have t-shirts made for the block party to sell.
4. Brochure Status
The brochure is done when the new logo is added to the cover and the correct list of
Board members is in there. Mere is on that.
5. Block Party
Karla has been great on this. She has approached Heather Burnham for FICA funds
and Heather pledged around $2,000-2,500 for it, she asked for a written proposal

donations are tallied. Karla got Billy Bloath to donate 2 boxes of hot dogs and
anything we need after that can be bought at cost through him. She has also set up a
band, 'The Everyday Visuals' to play at the party for no cost. She got Solomon's to
donate $100.00 worth of paper goods, which can go towards the plates and napkins
etc. Dick Greebe will close off the road from the intersection near the school and the
ferry office to the other end near 98 using sawhorses.
It is agreed that each committee member will bring 2-dozen cupcakes for the
decorating contest and Grace Burr will help with the supervising. It is also agreed that
there will be no beer at the event, as several people have mentioned that they would
not attend if there were. We still need volunteers to help in many ways on this, cooks,
running around and general preparations. Sara Moody and Jeanne have offered to
help cook.
6. Building
Mere is researching the next steps in the permitting process after we received our
initial rejection letter from the town. She is trying to fmd out if we can reuse the site
plans from 1996 and add Bruce's interior plans and what to do next in general. We
need zoning board approval and site plan approval. Bob Wall and Ken Edwards need
to remain informed about or actions as they can and will be helpful with the permits.
There needs to be an invitation extended to the right people at Southold to see 98
during the Town Fathers meeting in August. They may need to make special
arrangements to add 30 minutes to their day in order to tour it and meet with the C.C.
group.
Rob Noyes works for Seaways that is owned by Brunswick and he needs to be called
for advice on the bowling alley move.
Karla will obtain an application for the Sanger Fund and there need to be thank you
notes sent to the people who have already pledged donations to the 98 project.
