The State Archives has had funding approved to renovate space and move which should be completed by October. The bid release date and follow up dates are probably going to be delayed because of problems in the final move of the State archives. Hopefully, at our next meeting in Indianapolis, Bonnie Coghlin will join us for an update. The groundbreaking ceremony is still planned for October 6, 2000. Miss Bennett has contacted the First Lady s Office, the event is on her calendar at this time.
Work continues on the exact time, guest list, flyers, etc.
The Board discussed various ideas for the ceremony and publicity for it. The title, Building for the Future was selected for the event. It was suggested by Mr. Ewick that we do an interactive broadcast with some of the remote sites on the new video network. The announcement of the GALA needs to be posted on our web sites. Tom Hamm reported that he had contacted Dr. Bennett and he would have an appointment as soon as both were on Campus at the same time.
