Citizen (3 year term) 5. Citizen (2 year term) Quarterly Meetings: January-April-July-October Duties: Field Complaints, Annual Tournament (perhaps in conjunction with Mayor's Invitational), Public Relations Marketing: All inquiries should be referred to the Marketing Agent at this time for follow up. Request more frequent meetings be held (perhaps standing weekly meetings at least in the next few months or until deemed unncessary) to inure deadlines are met, momentum is maintained, and all interested parties are knowledgeable (The right hand knows what the left is doing:) 1. DAIRY QUEEN: Frank Price/Manager (not a golfer). He cannot make a cash donation since he's already over budget but he would be happy to donate any size cake for any special events we schedule. 2. U.S. BANK: Fred Flippance - Plays Cherry Lane frequently and wants to be come a lifetime; member but job is insecure at this time. He will become Lifetime member if he finds he will still be working in Boise. The bank will not be donating. since our project does not meet their donation requirements (i.e. leased. to private individual). 3. WEST ONE BANK: Terry Smith -.will purchase lifetime membership when their Aspen Condo. sells in McCail. He's turned all our literature into. .his home office....their budget meetings were held in August.He'll report as soon as their approval list is received. 4. FIRST SECURITY BANK: Bernice has turned all our literature into the home office. Budget meetings were held in August. She's still waiting to hear. Todd (asst. manager) would love to become a lifetime member but says, if he had an extra $5,000 he would have to use it to retire debt. 5. WILL BERG: Would like to purchase .lifetime membership but has to wait until after election to see ,if his job is secure. 6. JIM. GRANT: Jim and his wife are both members at Cherry Lane in respective men's and ladies assn., however, feel they are too old to purchase lifetime memberships. They will send a small donation to us as soon as they "see dirt move". Jim says he's been hearing for "years and years" there was going to be another 9 holes but has to-see action to believe it. He's also concerned with the negatives he's been hearing and reading about in the newspapers and feels that could possibly halt our project. 7. RON GULLEY: Will send something if I'll resent the mailer. He just threw the original away since he's not a golfer. Didn't realize he could just donate. I also indicated to him that he might be interested in donating time and equipment (excavation) and, if so, for him to please contact us. 8. .JIM FULLER (888-1116): Grant was of the opinion that Jim might be willing to donate as much as $100,000 to our project so I called to inquire. Jim said he was considering a donation and to please call the next morning. However, when I did so his wife answered the .phone and said ~.e didn't have any idea what his thinking was as they had not discussed it, she had not seen our brochure (so I sent another to their new address on Antigua) but they would not be donating at this time. She reiterated that they had donated all the land. Page 2 9. ARTECH: Holly Houfburg says he rarely plays Cherry Lane, only for special events. Therefore, its unlikely he would purchase lifetime membership. He did not know if he might donate otherwise. He's not a bit happy"with the city's current lease arrangment with the Lovans. He's listened to both sides, has had long conversations with the Mayor and Walt Morrow but is still convinced the City needs to rewrite at least part of the lease and now (while we are offering Wally an additional 9 holes) is the time to do so. He chooses not to join Gerry Sweet's "Watchdog" group but rather would like to work through C of C committees and talk with the Mayor and City Council. Holly is designing the temporary wall la ue_ 3' x 5' to be on display at Cherry Lane. 10. JOHN EWING: Has many concerns about the Lovans management of Cherry Lane and thinks the city should take a more prominent role since they do in fact own the land. But, he still wants the golf course to be completed and has some ideas (see below) and is willing to involve himself as deeply as is necessary to see it through. a) Donating (or finding a donor) for matching funds. b) Purchasing Corporate Sponsorship -(100 rounds appeals to him where 50 were of no interest). He would like to make business cards. to hand out to friends & clients as gifts c) Several contractors could pool their talents and resources and start moving dirt. John feels strongly that the community has been hearing for too long that an .additional 9 holes would be forthcoming that now they are being complacent. Plus, with all the rumor and innuendos. Plus, all the complaints about golf course management (unfair practices). John says we need to start some activity now so we don't lose momentum. He is contacting some contractors to see if they are interested in working with him. 11. CONNIE CROOKSTON: 1995 Women's Assn. President. Connie hears lots of complaints...some of which she feels are from constant complainers and some she feels have great merit. She & Wayne have discussed Lifetime memberships and as of this time have not .yet made. their decision whether or not to participate.
