Minutes of the Board of Governors
Present: Altenwerth (Chair), Pruitt, Ostrowski, Haas, Kettering, and two Governors who have asked not to be named. Recording: Tilley, Registrar.
- The Chair called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m.
- The Awards Committee recommended Grandmammaries Creamery, Edith Danner, Proprietor, for Excellence in Heritage Enterprise. Dr. Pruitt noted that the creamery has been kept small since 1962 and has turned down every offer to make it bigger.
- Ms. Tilley reported that Mrs. Danner had written ahead to ask that the certificate be addressed to the creamery and to nobody else in the building. The Board agreed. Ms. Haas asked who else was in the building. Ms. Tilley said the letter did not say.
- Mr. Ostrowski asked for confirmation that the cream stock would be used. Confirmed.
- The Board voted on the 2024 award. Unanimous.
- Other business: Ms. Haas reported that a laureate had run the statuette through a dishwasher. The statuette survived. The Board did not want to find out twice and directed that the Notice to Laureates be updated. Mr. Ostrowski drafted the wording and asked that it be noted that it took four days.
- Mr. Kettering asked the Board to note that he had now attended seven meetings without being asked to reconsider anything. The Chair noted it.
The meeting adjourned at 7:38 p.m.
