Under New Business: Jenkin Davis of Technical Support reported that they have taken an inventory of the projection light bulbs in stock and found a need for more. The committee estimates $2000 will cover the cost of the bulbs and miscellaneous supplies needed. The four major income producing users of the system, Tanglewood Community Church, TAG, Special Events, and TMAC have been asked to contribute $500 each. TAG and Special Events have agreed. The Church, though not a TMAC committee, is said to be agreeable.
From the audience Marie Hummell said that no vote has been taken by the church council. Al Foley added that Church Chairman Keith Cogley is reported to support the idea, but no binding action has been taken yet. Bruce Ortberg said Keith gave him the okay. A motion was made to allow TMAC to contribute their $500 portion of the cost. A paper ballot was taken, motion passed unanimously.
