March 15, 2010

Present: Leeanne M, Melanie G, Ron A, Trish P, Fran D, Barb W.

Susan J. asked to be excused

The meeting began around 10:00 a.m. in Bayview Park. We had five people show up and one jury by mail.

  1. Rondini provided a copy of his CD for PC Members to review. Barb W. and Melanie G. viewed them prior to the meeting. He will be selling this item at sunset. He acknowledged that he must have a tax number and pay a set up fee each night. Not required to pay a fee.
  2. Denise Graham came to the meeting with her supplies to show us how she makes her switch plate covers. She uses fimo clay and does cane work to make the adornments. Denise paid a $20.00 jury fee. She was approved by unanimous vote.
  3. Rob Goldwitz arrived for an-add-a product, therefore no fee was collected. Rob brought a "cube" that opens in various ways to show different photos. He is using his own photography but advised the PC that he has someone else do the work. He was denied by unanimous vote.
  4. Linda McCall sent in an add-a-product with Barb W. She wants to make sculptures from fimo clay. The PC felt that this product is very different from what she is already selling that she would need to return to demonstrate for us. No vote was taken. No fee was collected.
  5. Steve Dickstein arrived with his partners, Meryl and Halle. They were approved by the PC last year for their product, and cart pending licensing. They just needed to demonstrate how they make their product, which they did and let everyone have a sample. They were approved by unanimous vote. No fee was collected since they had paid last year.
