There was not a quorum of members present. As a result we had a general discussion about
topics, but no votes could be taken.
1. Activities
a. Masha and Dawn attended the AAA Marketplace at Patriot's Place. We made some
very good contacts with several organizations, including the people from Williamsburg.
They recommend that we consider having a table next year. It was all people intending
to travel in the next year.
b. The GMCVB would like us to continue our ad on the inside front cover of the Visitor's
Guide. The Liberty Ride can participate, Dawn will check to see if the other
organizations will as well.
c. We talked about the design of the Official Map and Guide. The suggested distribution
points are Museum, Visitor's Center, Aloft and Element.
d. Our MOTT sponsorship has been submitted. The Logo has been completed by Kerry
and we discussed what we could put on the 500 chairs and what to have in our booth
display.
2. Liberty Ride
a. We discussed the possibility of advertising on the Salem Trolley Tour vehicle. Dawn
will get the information and bring it up for a vote at our next meeting.
b. CTM has AAA offices in NY & CT as areas where we have not previously distributed.
Since there will not be a Greater Merrimack distribution we will be looking for ways to
reach 5 -7,000 visitors that we will not have since that site closed.
c. Suggestions people had for making the meetings more attractive for members to attend.
3. Next meeting will be Monday, March 22, 2010 at 4PM.
Respectfully submitted, Dawn McKenna
