Present: Maxine, DeeDee, Bruce, Michael, Caroline Birden (briefly: Carolyn McIntyre)<br>Missing: Rachel Barr, Mitchel<br />
Cohen<br><br>We decided to put the discussion of the sidewalk sale later, pending Rachel Barr attendance.  We will<br />
discuss at the next meeting.<br>The art auction is for later-- either in the late fall or early spring 2022. There are<br />
several hundred paintings and drawings that are available, plus the ones already being stored.<br>We discussed getting a<br />
WBAI Bumper sticker. We need to look at earlier designs and pick one. <br>In general there is a lack of publicity<br />
material and Maxine will look through the files to get a sense of what is available from the past.<br>Bruce suggested<br />
that the old Folio covers have very cool designs. <br>Maxine brought up the African Art Fair which will take place on<br />
July 4 for four days. She will be there and others agreed to help. We agreed to have some publicity material available<br />
for people to take home by that time. We thought a postcard would be a good idea. We should also have bumper stickers<br />
(to sell?) available and glassine stick sheets that can be put in store windows.<br>We spoke of tee shirts and Bruce<br />
said there is a company named  Zazzle which alllows you to send designs and then order shirts and you don't have to keep<br />
the inventory-- it is print on demand. People could order (and pay for) at the WBAI table (at fairs and events) and the<br />
company will send directly to the customer.<br>Bruce also mentioned the Jazz Festival. He said that because of the<br />
station's ability to publicize events, we should trade with them that if we broadcast info about their event, they<br />
should also promote WBAI membership.<br>Bruce will get a sort of sample for producers to use for "quid pro quo"<br />
exchanges.<br>DeeDee suggested that we write a letter to all producers that they team up with community groups to be a<br />
presence at events and that they also promote WBAI as part of their events. Maxine also said  the letter to producers<br />
should also include the suggestion that all producers need to fill out the form for EACH show so that they can come up<br />
on searches and promote the station.<br>DeeDee volunteered to pay for the Bumper stickers. ( Rachel Barr had said in an<br />
email that any printing should be done in a union shop.)<br>After everyone had left and before I shut off the Zoom,<br />
Marie Skelton came on and she said she was interested because she had heard the town hall and really liked it. She<br />
missed the meeting because she lives on the West Coast  and confused the time. <br>DeeDee
