5.         Five Year Goals -  There were nine responses to Charlie  Wainwright's

Strategic Goals Prioritization Survey.  Not  Everyone  answered  every question.

See  Survey  Results  Attached.      

6.         Calendar -  The idea of  selling ads and giving the Calendar away is not going to be an option this year.   We really do not have the man/woman power to generate all the  ads that would be necessary to make it  profitable for BAP.

We are looking for group pictures of famous Beverly people.  Darren Brown agreed to search the Beverly Historical Society's Archives for pictures that we could use.

It was suggested that we set up a booth at Homecoming to sell the Calendars. 

The Library and Desjardins  will also take Calendars to sell. 

Carol needs the dates to highlight in the Calendar.  There may be changes, additions or deletions from last year's Calendar.

7.         Archive Management Books  –  Kobi has put a collection of  eight volumes of  the A.M. Books in the BAP  room at the Library.

8.         Beverly Farms History Project  -  Kobi informed us that Nancy Coffey is in charge of  this  Project.   The result of their research will be a book.

9.         BAP Elections  -  Barbara Broudo nominated and the following were unanimously

elected to serve in  2007 – 2008 :

            John  Thomson,  Chair and Treasurer

            Charles  Wainwright,  Vice Chair

            Elaine  Israelsohn,  Secretary

            Carol  Mori,  Publicity  Chair

10.       Our next meeting will be Wednesday,  September 5th, at 7:00 p.m.
