ideas

Hey the city commission worksession is today at 5:30 p.m.. should be interesting, to see the dynamics if nothing else.

what projects are you working on? maybe we could talk about that some.
if we share our ideas, maybe others can offer help.

i got that music festival going last year. i had no idea how to do it, and even in our second year, i still don't really know how. still going to do it though. already have a contract with two bands and dont have the money to pay them yet.

i am working on getting 501 3c status so that donations will be tax deductible. anyone got any experience in that? you have to do the state part first, before you do the federal. the state part looks real easy. i know nothing with the IRS is easy.

so far we are going to have a full day and evening of music and other entertainment on the river on sat. oct. 4. Sunday will be praise in the park in the afternoon. not sure if that will be at wilson park or on the river yet. if it rains everything will be at wilson park.

i had thought about haveng an "open mic" friday night. there is a home football game that night so not sure how that would affect things. maybe if everyone was at the game already, it wouldnt be a big deal to come on out ... in this we would let whoever wants to get up and play and or sing...
but i need someone to take over that part for me. ill have too much to do dealing with the saturday part. ... churches are dealing with the sunday part. the friday thing would involve extra expense, so it may fall by the wayside for this year. unless ..........

so what are your ideas and projects?

"Open mic" now that is interesting. Would any of the people who so bravely hide anonymously on this blog have the courage to openly state their thoughts?

ACI is the savorier of Ark city. Why? Well because everyone says they are. True there are no actual facts but if you can prove a case with innuendo and gossip, then clearly ACI is our only hope.

People accuse others of illegal meetings, again hiding behind the power of anonymous. Mr. Eaton used his REAL name and posted a factual response to this small town gossip.

Not only that Mr. Eaton invited any interested party to join them on "Secret Fridays" and see for themselves what goes on. How many will boldly walk in their and say to his face what they cowardly post here?

Pat McDonald, love him or hate him, you have to give him credit also for posting under his real name. Maybe you diasgree with him, but tell him person to person. Don't just spread hate filled gossip anonymously about town.

You people and your "anonymous"...Bah to you and your lack of courage.

James, I am going to work with Sean Wallace on starting a community volunteer patrol program for our town. We are hoping to set up an orginizational meeting the last week in June. I believe that citizens can play a large role in helping police. I have a few people who are already interested in helping, but we will need more! When I get more information and exact dates, I will let you know. Maybe you can help us get the word out?
