 Treasurer’s Report:

 Dave Swope gave the Treasurer’s report and copies of the financial

 statements to the GBACC Secretary for filing. For a complete

 treasurers report contact the treasurer.

 

 Bike Rack Proposal:

 The City of Brunswick is trying to attract Bicyclists from the C&O

 Canal tow path to shop in town. If a request should be made by the

 City or the Economic Development Committee to donate a bike rack to

 the Brunswick Historic District the Board will consider it. A

 suggestion was made to put the bike rack in front of the Citizen lot

 or in front of Antiques 'N Ole Stuff.

 

 Events:

 Jerry Knight reported the Monday, August 24th Weather Lea Farm and

 Vineyard event is on schedule. Beans in the Belfry, El Sloppy Taco

 and Green Country Inn will be paid $30.00 each to supply food for the

 event.

 

 GBACC will work with Brunswick Main Street on a Brunswick Railroad Day

 Reception, Friday, October 2 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. A budget of $300.00

 was approved for the event. GBACC will also have an information booth

 in the same canopy on Saturday and Sunday. Dave Swope will check on a

 canopy for the event and Gail Shaw suggested we write Costco and ask

 for a $25.00 in house gift certificate to help with the food. Jerry

 will write Costco.

 

 Membership:

 

 Two new members joined in August. Thrifty Sisters in Lovettsville and

 Little Bugs Day Care of Brunswick. There was also one inquiry about

 membership.

 

 

Organization: Bill Sims showed a brochure he got at a restaurant in

 Havre de Grace, MD. The board members agreed it was a great example of

 what Brunswick should have. Ellis is going to check on what it would

 cost to do this kind of brochure and he will ask Ellen to check with

 advertisers in the Business Directory to see if they would be

 interested in taking an ad in a brochure.

 

 The meeting adjourned at 7:10 pm
