Minutes of the Chamber of Commerce Tourism CommitteeJanuary 10, 2010 Present: Stan Moore, Pam Thomeczek, Ken Yowell Chair Stan Moore called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. Pam moved the December meeting minutes be approved. Ken seconded. Motion carried. Ken distributed new copies of the Marshall tourism brochure for 2010. Stan noted that the Friends of Jim new website is up and running. He encouraged committee members to look at it (jimthewonderdog.com.) There is a membership page, for “Members Only” will show members, photos, financial reports, minutes of meetings and other stuff. Stan reported that he had attended the Marshall Tourism Commission meeting prior to this meeting. The Commission approved that the 2009 allocation to Friends of Jim ($413.25) be carried over to 2010 to fund the web site development. About $11,098 in unspent funds from 2009 has been returned to the Commission, making approximately $155,000 available for future use. Stan stated that the Marshall tourism website needs to focus on strategies of awareness of the calendar and encourage people to submit events for posting to the calendar. He also said that another future goal of the website is to have local business advertising – once activity reflects that the web site is used on a regular basis. Ken reported that the Chamber will soon be accepting credit cards as a form of payment in their office. With no further business, Ken moved and Pam seconded that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 10:00.
