Sees an opportunity for Dania to create a historical society for Dania / Liberia and the importance of J Ely to our history in this area. It will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays 10am-2pm and Saturdays 10-4 . 2. Sandy Thanks Kisha for microphone at the most recent Dania After Dark. 3. Linda strongly suggests a push for a historical society similar to Hollywood and Broward county. A lot of lost historical facts missing from mid 1800’s forward. City should start making contact with Mc Elyea’s family, to obtain facts and artifacts. A better display location for historical photos graphs should be on the agenda. Photos should be placed and a historical society would be an asset to the city. 3 Tuesday, March 19, 2019 Kisha CRA Liaison - Thanks CACAB for promoting the arts and events hosted by the CRA. Hands out Hospitality passes for the members of the CACAB. Linda mentions the lack of cooperation from local hotels, with promoting Dania Events because of “branding issues” .

Community members submitted stories to transform into art pieces for the tour (end product of grant) Scheduling for this will occur sometime in April in the Gallery. Concepts are pretty developed and there is opportunity for feedback and suggestions. Gallery located in Pink house W. Dania Beach Blvd. Joan mentioned how nicely a box on Bryan road was ﬁxed.
