Hello everyone,

 Not sure if I'll be able to attend tomorrow night's meeting so here's my 2 cents worth (maybe even 1 cent).

 An earlier message was sent to DeLise.

Cheers,

Jude

Subject: Arts Commission

After considering various options, I'm leaning towards putting a "commission" structure on hold for now. Yes, agree to one eventually but for now prefer the flexibility of a "group of volunteers" that can investigate and experiment with assorted "ideas", and "people", until we can find what's best for Molalla.

My past experience with a commission is that it can sometimes be too confining. What we're talking about now are many interesting and creative projects that can be tried to see what works and what doesn't.

And even more important to me is the ability to get many more people involved...without them having to make a major long-term commitment. Then can see who seems to have " staying power". After taking more time, I would feel much more comfortable going back for another look at a commission.
