April meeting minutes

The Kristallnacht Committee met at the Unitarian Church on Thursday, April 17 at 11:30 a.m.

John Kiley was welcomed to the group. John is the Social Action Director the the Diocese of Davenport.

It was announced that Sean O'Harrow would also be joining us. He is the Director of the Figge Art Museum.

The roll of secretary was discussed. It was agreed that everyone would take turns. Rabbi Henry Jay Karp volunteered for this meet.

CONFIRMATION OF SPEAKERS:

Martin Doblemeier has agreed to come and will be showing his film "Bonhoeffer". The film will be shown on Saturday night, (11/8/08), after Shabbat. We discussed the possibility of showing it at the Figge. We also discussed having a panel discussion accompany the film, perhaps inviting Dr. Alan Goldfarb to be a member of the panel.

Victoria Barnett, of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum will also be participating. NOTE: Since the meeting, she has asked Roger if it would be all right for her to stay through to attend the Doblemeier program. If she does, we should consider her for serving on the panel.

Alan Ross reported that he will request $4,000.00 from the Scott Country Regional Authority for the art prints. This request is due 5/15/08. The Figge has agreed top host the exhibit and permanently house it there. Rabbi Samuel suggested selling reproductions. According to his calculations, the budget for the entire weekend event should run about $12,000.00. He is looking at other sources for the balance of the funds.
