A discussion followed about future activities of the Laramie Film Society.

Henry Laskowsky suggested a member of the board be present at fall film series films to promote LFS and recruit new members.

There was a discussion about fund-raising and showing films. Ali Grossman suggested showing the new director's cut of "Cinema Paradiso" as a fund-raiser. It was also suggested LFS do a showing of the Jubilee Days silent film next summer at the band shell in Washington Park, along with the downtown showing.

It was moved by Ali Grossman and seconded by J-P Cavigelli that Ali send a letter to Marshall Smith asking for free use of the Wyo Theatre, or failing that, as inexpensive a use as possible, for a fund-raiser featuring the new director's cut of "Cinema Paradiso." The letter is to be signed by all board members.
