Mr. Milbauer <br />stated the bank is still willing to take care of it, but he doesn’t want to do it without agreement <br />from the Blue Heron Committee. Ms. Hansmann needs the logo to do a button design. Brian <br />Wentz is the contact person for the Chamber. <br />Suggested Button/treasure logistics: <br /> Only two people know the location. <br /> Someone writes clues, organize where they will be posted: city hall, banks, and stores <br />that are participating. The clues could be emailed at a certain time each day. Ms. Divine <br />said she would help write clues. <br /> Clues should be on the city website to get people on the website and see what it offers. <br /> The buttons and ad will say which businesses are participating. <br /> Excess money raised from buttons could go to the Blue Heron Committee. <br /> A minimum contribution from businesses should be required. <br /> You get a larger prize with a button, perhaps cash only. <br /> A drawing from button holders could be held for non-cash prizes that would be donated <br /> Ten businesses could donate $100/each. They are the only businesses besides the website <br />that have the clues. <br /> They have the option to give a gift certificate or merchandise. The second prize winner <br />has the option to win the prize package. <br /> Marketing needs to be done a month ahead of time.
