Then maybe they would understand. <br />Commissioner Jacobs also suggested that we could offer scholarships to events /expo's as <br />doorprises. <br />Tina Moon suggested linking the concurrent sessions to future field trips. Also, the CSA <br />person could be a potential speaker. <br />Dr. Barber suggested that maybe the People's Channel could video the meeting and <br />break -out sessions and run the tape on their cable channel as a community service. When <br />they do this type of service, they would also give us a copy of the video tape of the <br />program. This could be loaned out to farmers that don't have cable. Dr. Barber will <br />contact the People's Channel to see if it would be possible for them to attend. <br />Discussion Topics: <br />Date: The Planning Committee selected Friday, November 1, 2002 as the <br />date for the Agricultural Summit, with an inclement weather date of <br />Friday, November 8, 2002. <br />Time: The Planning Committee set the times as follows: <br />8:30- 9:OOam Registration and refreshments <br />9:00 -12:00 Meeting (specific agenda times to be determined at a <br />later meeting) <br />12:00 -1:00 Lunch <br />1:00 Adjournment <br />Location: Northern Orange Center, Cedar Grove <br />Budget: $2,100.00 <br />Meal: To be determined at a later meeting. <br />Next Meeting: November 13, 2001 <br />10:00am, Planning & Inspections Conference Room <br />Dr. Barber then adjourned the meeting at 11:07 a.m. <br />Attachment: Updated Planning Committee Members List <br />
