Board discusses modest unveiling plans; member to pursue drape and local vendor
Summary
Members debated scaling back a large unveiling to avoid division, discussed a small afternoon reception option at the Elks, and Rose Nyman reported plans to approach a Butte vendor to make an unveiling cloth (previously authorized up to $200).
Board members debated whether to hold a large unveiling ceremony for the Phoebe Hearst statue. Chair Bob Wren recommended reconsidering a larger celebration to avoid community division. Rose Nyman urged that the board host something to commemorate the installation; Tammy Mattson proposed a smaller afternoon event with cake at the Elks and Lynette Foulger volunteered to contact the Elks about a cocktail menu.
Rose reported she has researched drape materials and plans to approach a Butte business to make the unveiling cloth; the board recalled a prior approval to allow Rose to order a drape for $200 or less. Tammy said she would follow up on an uncashed cashier's check referenced in a bank letter. The board adjourned at 10:45 AM and set its next meeting for April 2, 2026.
