channeled directly to the SCV Historical Society. He is concerned about the funds projected for
the upcoming haunt in Oct. 2010. Scott would like monies to be directed by the Historical
Society to be taken care of members who will follow the procedures of use for the Haunt and
therefore have the money and procedure of Haunt to be approved ahead of time by the
committee. Scott gave an example of vouchers being used to get approval of items being spent
for the haunt. Sue Yurosek requested the Pardee House not be used to store Haunt materials. The
Questers are assisting with the restorations of the Pardee House, and since the Questers have
committed to helping with the house they do not need to be confronted with the details of the
Haunt. Scott is working on getting volunteers for the haunt and will accommodate the request
made by Sue Yurosek.
Scott is working on the entrance of the Haunt, he will be changing the flow line around to get
people through the Haunt at a quicker pace. He is planning on having a magician, a maze
graveyard, more actors, Alice and Scary Wonderland, photos, a pirate village and a hayride to
campground 7 to see other scary things within the perimeter of the SCV Historical Society.
Major concern last year was Building and Safety almost stopped the production of the haunt,
need to follow the given guideline for 2010 ..
John Boston spoke about the Hollywood Sign being an identifying icon, he spoke about the
possibility of a sign that puts the station on the map, needs to conform to the city specks.
Alan Pollack spoke about the need to get people to the station to discuss plans for upcoming
events for the Historical Society. The society needs to start with an advisory board, make a fund
raising plan; also get to know more movers and shakers - ask for ideas. Several suggestions
were made and discussion of the December Christmas event, an activity for each of the houses
and what else could be accomplished to bring others into our society. A suggestion to members
to make a commitment for proposed opportunities to begin fund raising, and another suggestion
of the need for a a sub committee to plan on ways to get the committee off the ground.
Correspondence Report: A pick and play Blue Grass Band, has been suggested for the Haunt.
Treasurer's Report: Duane Harte reported for March $15,000 loss of expenses on the paint job
of the station and that was for the month, the actual loss was $200.00
Not all bills and receipts for the Chuckwagon dinner are in yet, but it will result in an overall
loss. Sold approximately 70 to 120 people for the event, had we sold all the tickets we would
have been squelched due to the weather. A SCV fireman made a spot check while the event took
place. Duane suggested a committee for the event. Carol did take care of all the items that
needed to be taken care of for the event. Another suggestion of setting a budget and analyzing
the amount at a reasonable rate, we will not sell all of the two hundred tickets. A discussion was
made on continuing the Chuckwagon dinner. Jeff stated that Duane was correct that we would
lose money on this event.
