COH President’s Report – June 19, 2017 SCFD Visit– As most of you know, we have arranged to meet with Jessica Kato, Assistant Director, Tuesday July 11; 9:00 – noon, at SCFD offices at 899 Logan Street, Denver, CO 80203. This will be a good opportunity for us to better understand what SCFD expectations are for us to become eligible for future funding. As a reminder, SCFD has a two step process for applicants. Applicants must first be accepted for eligibility; once accepted, they may then make specific funding requests. So, the whole process to actual SCFD funds may take awhile; but just being accepted for SCFD eligibility is a great credential that can be used with other major funders. So this is a great opportunity for us to learn and make ourselves known to this important source of potential funds. Integrity Arts- Kathy Kucsan, our consultant, will be joining us in the SCFD visit, and is preparing to present her findings to the board in the July meeting. Board Application- Carol Rowe has submitted her application to the COH board. Carol has a Masters in Journalism from the CU Boulder, and extensive experience in public information, including 8 years as a staff writer for the Boulder Daily Camera and 5 years as Director of Communications for the CU College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. She envisions helping COH generate positive media coverage to generate greater awareness, visitation and support for COH. Carol is a longtime COH supporter/volunteer, currently on the board’s Marketing/Publicity committee. Chelsey – After long and difficult consideration, Chelsey Havil announced her intention to resign from the COH board to focus on her new business and family responsibilities. Great appreciation to Chelsey for her excellent quality work as Secretary of the COH and her long time service as a COH volunteer. She will be missed, but hopefully not for too long!

Chelsey Havill PO Box 306 Nederland, CO 80466 828-280-1200 June 19, 2016 Carousel of Happiness, Inc. Board of Directors 20 Lakeview Dr. Nederland, CO 80466 303-258-3457 Dear Carousel of Happiness Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for the experience I have gained while sitting on the Carousel board as a volunteer and as Secretary. I have truly enjoyed working with each and every board member and volunteer that I have encountered through this organization. The Carousel of Happiness holds a very special place in my heart, and always will. This is why I regret to inform you that I will be resigning from the board after completing my duties following the board meeting on Monday, June 19th, 2017. With the purchase of The Business Connection, some personal issues, the aging and health complications of my best friend and dog companion Shanti, and respect to my marriage to Mike and adjusting to our lives as newlyweds and business owners- I have not had adequate time to care for myself and tend to my own needs. I feel (and hope) I am leaving the board in a strong position to move forward without me. I will make myself available as much as possible to train the new Secretary. I would also like to extend an offer to continue uploading the minutes to the website monthly, if the back-end of the website is confusing to the new Secretary. Please know that I will ALWAYS be a supporter and advocate for the Carousel of Happiness, Inc. Much Love & Respect, Chelsey Havill Secretary- Carousel of Happiness, Inc.

From: Ellen V. Moore evmmoore@gmail.comSubject: Support letter for Carol Rowe's application to serve on the COH Board of Directors

Date: June 16, 2017 at 1:49 PMTo: Charles Wood charlzwood@gmail.com

Dear COH board of director members.

I've learned that my friend Carol Rowe is applying to be a member of the board of directors ofthe Caoursel of Happiness and this letter is written in support of her application.

I have known Carol, her children, her work at CU-Boulder and as a volunteer journalismprofessional abroad as well as her work at the Daily Camera and in the CU-B School ofengineering. I am so impressed by Carol in so many ways, this letter might go to many pages.

Instead, I am coupling my knowledge of how Carol handles and has handled, a multitude ofresponsibilities in her life, with my knowledge of the hundreds of COH volunteers over theyears, working to build the COH pavillion/house, publicize the many features of the COH togrow our ridership, study processes and programs within the scope of the Carousel ofHappiness and its board, celebrate and cherish the vital role of volunteers at the COH andascertain their input on a wide variety of aspects of the COH, and embrace the necessity ofsystematic and continuous fund-raising necessary to ensure the future of the COH andnecessary improvements to the COH site and building, program development and COHparticipation in Nederland and Boulder County affairs.

Carol will definitely serve the COH well as a board member.; she is calm and thoughtful,respectful and focused.

Call if you questions about this letter of recommendation.

Thanks for listening. Ellen V. Moore

6/12/17 Events Committee Meeting - Cathy Grace Present: Katrina, Scott, Bette, Charles, Cathy

GOALS of the event: *money *audience expansion *fun

IDEAS for structure: We agreed that we like the Black Tie *Ned style idea: good to have consistency and predictability from year to year. Bette proposed the idea of a pajama party rather than black-tie, but we thought on the whole, black-tie would be better. We like Katrina’s idea of having a special honoree for the event: happiest person in Ned (or some variation); perhaps people nominate and vote? Or a committee decides? Special plaque or something to honoree. AND we agree with Katrina that having a different and strong THEME each year will add interest and keep things fresh -- and be fun! Scott’s idea: the animals are happily tired from a busy summer, are now ready to celebrate and recharge; George could make us a terrific poster (or did I make that up?)

● For board meeting Mon 6/19: all board members brainstorm other theme ideas

FOOD AND DRINK: cost $10-12 per person w/ local caterer (Kim Culver) INVITATIONS: discussion of how to do this: hand-written invitations to our most generous donors (and perhaps free ticket(s) for them?, but perhaps not, as they know it’s a fund-raiser for us)? Each board member to think of people they particularly want to invite. We also want to welcome the public. Possibly list in Daily Camera events? But capacity is only about 175, so we’d only want to take reservations up to 200 or so. Publicize in advance at the Carousel to capture regular riders from “down the hill” (many/most of whom are not on our donor lists); posters and flyers around Ned and to board members to distribute. **Katrina will print out list of our top donors for board meeting 6/19 SPONSORSHIP/UNDERWRITING: bold new idea! Board members and others could sponsor/gather a “table” (probably virtual, rather than physical); could have different $$ levels (gold, silver, platinum or mouse, rabbit, moose). AND/OR: check into UNDERWRITING: one or more major underwriters to cover the expenses ($2600-4500) of the event so that we realize

more net income. Scott and Katrina willing to meet with Tebo (and others: Eldora??) to make a personal pitch. **Katrina will check into access to Tebo TICKET PRICE: to be decided: it’s a fundraiser! AND we want locals to come, too. Last year we made $1822 on tickets ($975 the year before). A couple of considerations: tickets were included with our Business Promo packages last year, but other than that, we gave away few free tickets. Tickets were priced lower than the year before. SILENT AUCTION: Agreed we need to pump this up, include an online component. Ned PTA made $20K with theirs! Begin with committee of Scott, Charles and Bette. We have lots of posters of different carousels -- good draw for online auction for carousel enthusiasts who may not even be familiar with CoH. **Katrina will have photos taken of those posters so we can post online **Katrina will contact Jenny at NMSHS for info/advice on Silent Auction software, etc. **Cathy will check notes from Colo NonProfit Assn session on Silent Auctions ENTERTAINMENT: background music, to enhance the ambiance. Last year Bill Ikler trio (? not the full Gael group, right?) (they charged -- couple hundred?); year before Bonnie and Max (free). How about Jon Ridnell? Probably would charge a couple hundred **Katrina will check Jon’s availability and charge Darryl Purpose? LOVES the carousel, wouldn’t charge us, but we wouldn’t want him as background music: that would be an actual concert. Maybe we invite him to come and play his Carousel Song in addition to whatever other musician(s) we have.

TEAMS NEEDED: Silent Auction (Scott, Charles, Bette so far) Food and Drink Invitations PR Decorations

BUDGET ITEMS: REVENUE: Silent Auction Tickets Event Donations [people often make a donation even if they don’t come] Program [could have people buy ads/notices] EXPENSES:

Silent Auction (online software) Invitations? PR? Food Tents/Tables/Decorations Music/entertainment

TIMELINE: What needs doing by when

Events Meeting 06/19/17 - Chelsey Havill CONFIRMED EVENT DATE: September 16, 2017 THEME:

- “Ned-Style” Black Tie (keeping the status quo) - A night at the Carousel… ← most popular choice @ meeting - “Come see what happens when the Carousel closes…” - “Animals After Dark” - “Fall Fantasy”

CELEBRATION IDEAS:

- Honoring a local. Something unique and fun that reflects the Carousel. “Happiest person in Nederland”... etc.

SAVE THE DATE:

- Need design, and send out soon. Give ideas to George Blevins. - Fox to represent autumnal equinox? He looks down on the animals to let them know. - An operator “closing shop” with a push broom- animals coming to life behind him. Good

idea for a Save the Date teaser. NEEDED:

- Sponsors? Can help fund. We need a way to represent them, if we can get them. - Alcohol donations
