They are online. Susan's Place also needs information. JM will follow up. DT has drafted the 2014 poster for Hometown Christmas. They will be distributed for posting this week (after minor typos corrected). Roosters Gingerbread contest info should be added to newsletter, poster and online info. DT reported that S Robinson confirmed they will not be holding the Nativity Display during the Hometown Christmas event, but plan to do it later that same week.

- SS reported on Gala Plans for Sat 24 Jan 2015. Needs printed tickets from DT at earliest convenience. Need to complete nominations and voting as soon as possible in Dec and focus on pre-selling corporate tables. As discussed at last meeting, the 2015 gala budget set at $1000 over prior year. Approved.
- Discussed upcoming Tradeshow plans. Our proposal to merge the event with the Emergency Preparation Fair was politely declined. They will hold their event the following weekend. RD reports that the website information has been updated on magrathchamber.com website.
- Proposal to work with town to include chamber renewal forms with annual business license renewal process. Suggested we approach our town liason B Oliver on how best to accomplish this.
