Jim Sewell to determine its cost and the cost of smaller versions, also the cost and availability of placemats.
Newsletter: Next publication dates: late April or early May and mid to late July with most of the next issue to be assembled prior to the April 23 meeting. From discussion of future editions, it was suggested that a possible joint publication with the La Have Islands Museum would include community news, perhaps with MoDL support and financed by advertising. It was generally agreed that, if anything, the size of the newsletter should expand but not the frequency of publication. Discussion about discontinuing mailing newsletters to people with membership dues in arrears. Decided to state that "Membership is support for our organization, NOT a subscription to the newsletter". The question was again raised of whether we should expand into a community newsletter. To reduce mailing costs, FOCB will continue to push for E-mail addresses.
Promotion: Discussion about having promotional signs at the beach and membership forms available at the beach, at the Petite Riviere monthly Fireman's breakfast and at the Crescent Beach General Store. Items to be inserted in MoDL's "Municipal Matters" publication.
