and in the future, newspapers, Sesquicentennial scrapbook, photos, etc. will be donated for the
Local History Collection.
(7) Pamphlet, brochure, book, video, describing and illustrating an overview of Colleyville
history and parent communities - Ed Havran suggested that the 50th Anniversary in 2006 of the
incorporation of Colleyville would be a good time to write a new history of Colleyville. Lila
Coley suggested that it might be feasible to print a pamphlet on the history of different
subdivisions and areas in Colleyville for Realtors since interest has been shown by an area real
estate company. Chris Faulkner is working on a video and Lila Coley is working on a history of
street names.
(8) Publication of Colleyville History and its City government - no activity to report. Committee
will look at activities for the 50th Anniversary of Colleyville's incorporation. Shirley
