4 <br /> <br />Congratulations to the Carolina Inn for their award from Meeting Professionals <br />International bi-monthly meeting and golf tournament at Finley. <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS <br /> <br />Board member Jim Ward complimented on the collaboration with UNC athletics but <br />raised the question on the VBs relationship with the hospital. Ward expressed his <br />opinion that it should be the same. Paolicelli agreed and contact information was given. <br /> <br />Trolley update: Paolicelli updated board that she continues to pursue newer, <br />environmentally sound, tour bus options, similar to, but very different from, the towns <br />Trolley of more than a decade ago. She reported that several members of the original <br />trolley committee she began one year ago, where still hard at work on the subject. Recent <br />meetings with the Advanced Energy Group out of Raleigh, former commissioner Steve <br />Halkiotis and community citizen Marty Mandell, offered new hope into an electronic tour <br />bus produced in Chattanooga. At that meeting it was suggested that Scott Gardner, <br />community relations with Duke Energy and Stick Williams with Duke Energy be <br />approached to sponsor a part of the Trolley in keeping with Dukes PR efforts in Orange <br />County. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Chair Pavao motioned to adjourn, Moses Carey, jr. so moved to accept with Jim Ward <br />seconding. With all business of the Board completed, Chair Pavao adjourned the meeting <br />at 9:44 a.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________________ _________________________________ <br />Minutes Drafted by: Minutes Accepted by: <br />Laurie Paolicelli, Executive Director Lee Pavao, Chair <br /> <br />________________________________ _________________________________ <br />Date Date
