pavers was recently sent into the manufacturer and we can continue to sell additional pavers. Chairperson Swope explained that she, Civic Cultural Commissioners Virginia Ball and Tamara Piulle, and Park and Recreation Intern Julie Calleja visited a tile company in Sausalito to receive training on how to do the tile process in-house. She announced the training session was not successful and very disappointing. Julie Calleja has researched the tile issue and has found that Nelda's Ceramics in Redwood City is able to handle the tile process for us in a satisfactory manner and can also offer us a discount. Nelda's Ceramics can provide each tile at a cost of $1.74 each including glaze and firing. The tiles will be sold at a cost of $50.00 each to benefit the fundraising efforts. Chairperson Swope asked the Commissioners if they were willing to operate a tile booth at various community events such as the Labor Day Festival at the Senior Center, the Climate Best Fest on September 16-17, Raychem Health and Fitness Fair, children's Halloween event, and Dia de la Raza event at Hoover Park. Chairperson Swope sent around sign-up sheets for the Commissioners to help operate the booth at each of the events. Commissioner Davis agreed to update the tile flyer and Ira Ruskin will be contacted to handle the press release. Civic Cultural Commissioner Tamara Piulle said people can be given a choice of alternatives for the tile. It does not have to be a handprint but could write their name, or do a design on a tile to "personalize" it. Commissioner Slusser felt sample tiles should be on display at the booth to help sell the product and people should be given a limited number of variations for the tiles. He felt pictures could be made for the tile flyer for people to refer to. Chairperson Swope reported Supervisor Jan Knight needs to know what in-kind donations have been received by October 15 so she can determine what items she needs to order for the new facility. Commissioner Slusser mentioned that many companies he has approached for in-kind donations have required a SO13C status which we do not have. Commissioner Hughes suggested obtaining a letter of endorsement from Honorary Chairpersons Pete and Paula Dccelli to help with the donation effort and agreed to handle this matter. Chairperson Swope said she is continuing to send out grant proposals and asked the Commissioners to keep her abreast of what companies they have contacted for donations. ITEM 3 ..
