Approval of Minutes
Upon MOTION by Mrs. Kallman/Mrs. Resnick, the minutes of the May 22, Regular
Meeting and the June 26, 2008 Regular Meeting were unanimously approved.
New/Old Business
Continued Discussion re 2008/2009 Calendar:
Chair Firtell asked the Board about starting a "National Holiday Program", with July 4,
2009 being a starting event. Mrs. Kallman noted that at her synagogue this past July 4,
the movie "1776" was shown, with refreshments served, and said there was a very good
turnout. The Board liked this idea, as the event could be indoors in air conditioning, and
could be at a time as to not interfere with any outdoor evening plans residents may have.
A "flag cake" could be served along with coffee or ice tea.
• Chairman Firtell will present this idea to the Town Commission. It was suggested to
have a Memorial Day affair, but the board decided to start with July 4 h and in time could
add additional National Holiday Programs. There was unanimous approval to add this to
the 2009 calendar of events.
Lois Feldman is looking into organizing a Socratic Cafe. Rene Yucht will be in charge of
publicity — she will keep the Sunday Community Section of the Sun Sentential informed
of upcoming planned events.

Myrna Resnick said that she contacted Action Awards in Boca Raton and obtained the
following information:

CULTURAL BOARD.
There will also be a memoriam for Jack Glazer and Riia Futernick. The plaque company
can lay out as to where this part should go.
Chair Firtell spoke about the Milani Park project, and suggested that some cultural
history and background be displayed. It was decided to wait and see what the county
presents to the Town Commission, and what the Town approves.
General Board Information

Commission. As a recap, Lois will maintain the volunteer list, Rene' will handle
• publicity, and Myrna and Sheila will work on the recognition plaque.
Appointment of a Vice -Chairman. Upon MOTION by George Kelvin/Sheila Kallman,
Lois Feldman was appointed as Vice -Chairman. Motion carried unanimously.
Board Reports
Lois Feldman spoke about the Brandies National Committee Group — she is a member
and received their summer study group guide, and thought if the Board wanted to hold
another musical next year, this may be a group to look at. The Board all agreed that this
should be looked into, and Mr. Kelvin suggested a CD be obtained in order to hear the
group. Mrs. Resnick noted that the group has performed in her building, and is well
worth obtaining.
George Kelvin commented about channel 19, and feels that current Town news should
run at the top of the hour. Myrna Resnick suggested the 6:00 p.m. cultural hour be
changed to an earlier time, perhaps 5:00 p.m. when residents are home, and before going
out for the evening. This was agreed to, and Mr. Kelvin will ask Zoie to make this
change.
Public Comments — None.
