Subject: Coloring Book
Hillary! I came up with an idea for a coloring book that I wanted to pass your way. I think we should develop a Meridian
Coloring Book. It could tell our history, and also include facts such as public works stuff, parks, and art pieces. I think it
could be something that all of the commissions put together. Each commission could get four pages or so — to tell
something about their role in the City — an education piece.
We could hand it out at tours, at schools, at HOA meetings, events, parades ... the possibilities are endless and it's great
branding/marketing for the City and commissions- not to mention a great education piece.
The Mayor loves the idea but says the commissions should get sponsors (should be pretty easy — logos on the book that
would be seen by TONS of people).
Thoughts? I can help with this project!

Dear Downtown Business Owner,
The Meridian Arts Commission is planning an Art Walk on Friday, September 9th from 5:30 to
8:30 p.m., and would like to invite you to be a part of this great downtown event!
Members of the public will be invited to come downtown and enjoy the growing arts scene.
The suggested Art Walk route will be along Main Street and will include a public art unveiling,
an art show and reception in Initial Point Gallery, and a chalk art competition. We will also be
hosting a campaign called "Meridian Art Drop Week" which will conclude on the day of the Art
Walk.
We would like to invite you to participate in the evening as well by hosting an art event in
your building, on the sidewalk outside, or in conjunction with another organization. The
possibilities are endless and we can't wait to see how creative our Downtown community will
get!
Thank you for encouraging the vitality of our downtown and thanks for taking part in the arts!
Sincerely,
Mary Jensen
Meridian Arts Commission Chair

o Overnight security to have a two day event
o Community partners can host kids activity booths if we can't get enough
artists interested
■ E.x. MLD hosting craft table, MYAC hosting rock painting, or MAF

Hillary,
I appreciate all that you do so much. You deserve thousands of personal emails expressing appreciation for
your wonderful series.
I am honored to be affiliated with your excellent Arts Commission and the exciting, thriving City of
Meridian. We love working with Leslie and the Meridian Symphony String section folks. Everyone with whom
I interacted was so upbeat, clear, helpful and professional. We had a marvelous time during the concert. Thank
you so much for making this opportunity possible for us and ensuring that it was truly enjoyable for everyone!
Please pass on my gratitude to the Commission and city officials.
Best always,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
This was forwarded to me and I thought I would pass it on. It isn't very often that we receive personal
emails from the public. I want you to know how very appreciated you all are! I hear great comments
every time we get a chance to have you all play.
Thank you again for all that you do and for continuing to put up with us! Hopefully as we continue to
