Board meeting of April 11, 2007

The FILA board met at the Children's Museum in Traverse City.

The status of various grants, the yield of the benefit events, plans for another public presentation and cooperation with other lighthouses of the area in the regional Lighthouse Consortium (organized by Stef Staley of the Grand Traverse Lighthouse Museum) were discussed.

Stef Staley provided us with a list of day keepers and dates for the Lighthouse Keeper Program. Details of the schedule will be drawn up at a separate meeting scheduled for April 19th. Phil von Voigtlander reported on the status of the recommissioning of the Lighthkeeper boat. The use of the boat for non-work trips as well as safety issues including emergency procedures on the island were discussed.
