Discussion

 

1. Website – everyone agrees website is managed well, info kept up-to-date and lots of photos. D. Southall indicated he was going to archive some of the older photographs to keep the main photos page less cluttered.

2. E-mail Communication – Everyone agreed that constant e-mail communication was good. Recent use of graphic images also received positive review. It was also mentioned that consistency of graphics from web to e-mail to posters to Sunday Powerpoints is a good reminder.

3. Phone – all reviews of CallingPost service positive.

4. Electronic Sign – general discussion centered around using it more for topical postings and also using the hooks underneath for seasonally appropriate banners.

5. Postings/bulletin boards – see below.

6. Business Cards – D. Southall will follow up on getting cards made. Design was created and approved by FOF team last year, but printing never happened.

 

Walking Tour of Building

 

 Outdoors-Main Entrance

· Overall our signage is very good, though we could use some light on the parking lot entrance sign by the west drive.

· The entrance could use some “softening” particularly in the form of landscaping to the left of the main entrance.

 

· It was mentioned that the sanctuary building committee plaque to the right of the main door is not relevant and could possibly be relocated to make space for art/banner.

· Suggestion made that old communion table used for information center just inside entrance is too deep and should possibly be replaced with a table that is longer, not as deep.

· Suggestion also made to acquire an upright literature rack for Upper Room display.

· Painting from old McLemore building needs to be move to protect it from further sun damage, could make way for bulletin board/information center

 

· Furniture and arrangement makes it look “comfortable”

· Color scheme “monochromatic”

· Age/type of artwork suggests “no young people come here”

· Suggestion made to address color scheme and artwork issue by using additional art pieces, rotating

· Need to be sensitive to history/feelings related to existing artwork

 

Bulletin boards

· No titles to indicate content, attract attention

· Could benefit from color/borders

· Suggestion made to move glass-covered board to area near entrance for information center

· Suggestion made to put a new bulletin board near main entrance for information center

· Question raised about using tri-fold created after last meeting. Janet suggested it looked “amateurish”.

 

No next meeting date/time set.

 

March of Dimes display dismantled and west wall of lobby returned to the way it was.

 

Meeting adjourned at 7:45PM.
