daffodil bulbs along the rock wall in front of the Museum. Gift shop revenues are up. The
Clinton House Museum will be featured in the PBS biography of President Clinton to be released
in 2011.

CONVENTION VISITORS BUREAU


A new report for 2011 for the convention Visitors Bureau will show sales leads booked and lost
business. In December 2010, 8 meetings were booked for an estimated economic value of
$612,222.00. Three meetings were lost (this represents $599,271.15 in lost economic impact).

A convention calendar for December 2010, January 2011 and February 2012 will show
economic data to commissioners relative to visitor spending.

The Visitor Store had a 139% increase over December 2009 sales. Average monthly sales in
2010 was $2,444.54 compared with 2009 average monthly sales of $1,554.03.

TOWN CENTER
December collections were $23,144.59 a 8% decrease from 2009. The returned sales contracts
for 2010 was up 2% over 2009 events. This should result in increased sales and attendance in
2010.

CLINTON HOUSE MUSEUM
MONTHLY REPORT JANUARY 2011

The Clinton House Museum had a total of 99 visitors in January 2011. Despite closing for
inclement weather, we had an extraordinary amount of visitors in the remaining days. The
University of Arkansas hosted a group of Vietnamese students from across the country during
their winter breaks. Many of these students were eager to see the House, learn about the “Early
Clinton Years’, and also express their gratitude toward the Clinton Administration.

The E. Faye Jones property on Hwy 16 has been recently purchased by Stephanie Zhyr, of
Albuquerque, NM. She is eager to preserve the Clinton Legacy and we are discussing possible
tours and other marketing ideas.

A redesign of a the brochure for the Museum will include the First Ladies Garden and the visit
by President Clinton this past August. The spring will launch fundraising efforts in the form of
a Buy-A-Brick Campaign and an Engraved Stone Paver Campaign with quotes of First Ladies
which will be used to establish a rock walkway in the Garden. We are also developing exhibits
featuring the former owners of the House – H.H. “Scotty” Taylor, Gilbert and Bo Swanson, and
Dr. Warren Gifford.
