Clemons informs the commission that they can host a Movie Night at Knutzen Theater and sell concessions. Chair Ankit suggests hosting the event for Teens/High School Age students. Commissioner Justin asks if they can host multiple Movie Nights for different ages. Clemons suggests hosting one night to start off with, and then decide if it is worth it to host multiple depending on how the first one goes. Chair Ankit suggests hosting the Movie night on a Friday/Saturday. Commissioner Justin suggests late May/early June. Vice-Chair Bryan thinks that it will be hard to get people to buy tickets and attend the event. Clemons suggests throwing in a door prize that would entice people to attend. Chair Ankit and Commissioner Justin point out that the best way to promote the event would be on social media. The Commissioners try to decide which movie to play at the Movie Night. The Commissioners decide on “The Dark Knight”. The Commissioners choose the tentative date of May 12th with a start time of 6:00pm. Clemons will check on the Theatre’s availability and give the commissioners an update at the next meeting. Restaurant Takeover Fundraiser The Commissioners decide to focus on the Movie Night Fundraiser instead of the Restaurant Takeover.
