New items include khaki ball caps and golf balls with the LHAB logo, key chains and perhaps metal licence plate frames. Still in the works: mouse pads and note blocks with the LHAB logo on all four sides. T-shirts will be reordered. Speaking of "tees", Scott Hendrix brought in the New Men’s T-shirt, with a photo of the first LHB on it. Officer consensus was positive for using this on future LHAB shirts.

Allan motioned/George second to donate $300 for this. Motion carried. They also need school supplies. Elizabeth will run articles in the spring and summer BLASTs and have donation bins at BAND DAY 2K. The music teachers asked if LHAB members could come show instruments to the kids. Jenny said she would call KKY/TBS members to help. DUNAGIN HOUSE: Susan said H.B. Dunagin’s widow left their west Austin home (behind Travel Quest on W. 6th) to Donna Beth McCormick, who wants to donate it to LHAB as a permanent home. It appraises at $400K, but is in need of repair. The BOT is willing to loan $$ for renovation. Use options include a storage facility for LHAB and a residence hall for LHB members. Scott proposed forming a Dunagin House subcommittee to research uses, renovation options, tax advantages and historical landmark status. Susan will work with the BOT on this. DALLAS AREA REP Ken Capps contacted LHAB because he did not get his LHB CD. Susan bought one and sent it to him. She requested reimbursement of $25, including postage.
