Suggestions were put forward on how the Medonte Historical
society andthe Township of Oro History Committee could function.
for continued historical work under the new Township.
- suggested that a Committee of the Medonte Historical Society
could prerare matters for presentation and the Oro History
Committee could prepare the same and then the two Committees
could meet to consider the proposals for approval and presentation
to Council of the Tonship of 0ro-Medonte.
Since both the Township of Oro and Medonte Councils had requested
the History Committees to come forward with a Logo for the new
Township effective January 1, 1994, this was considered by all
present.
After review of the draft art work for the Loge, types of border
and the wording, the following results were arrived at:
Wording - The Heart of Simcoe County - agreed to by all
Art - the present used by each of the Township to remain
and design to include - 0x and Plow and Sheaf of
Wheat.
Border - 50-50 sElit on Rope or Coin border.
- as well wording Alm. 1994 to be included
It was suggested that a sample of each be prepared - and it was
left that Loreen (Rice) Lucas approach Joanna McEwen to prepare
a draft work for each of the designs proposed. Same to be avail-
able for presentation and review at a meeting which had previously
proposed meeting by the Medonte Historical Society to be held
on Sunday September 5, 1993 at the Coldwater Canadiana Museum,
from 2-5 p.m. A tour of the Museum will take place and then a
short meeting could be held to review the sample Logos, which
could then be presented to the Township Councils for their
review and approval or further recommendation.
It may be noted that the arrival for the proposed Loge was by
each member present submitting on a paper their suggestions
of Wording - Art - design - border, etc.
Mttters to be presented or proposed for an Agenda or future
meetings of these Committees were discussed.
There being no further matters brought forward for discussion
it was moved by Earl Robertson that the meeting adjourn.
Refreshments were served after the meeting - coffee, lemonade
and cookies. This also served as a time for getting acquainted.
