PAINT MAGIC, INC.
History
Paint Magic was incorporated on July 24, 1986. It was formed to use volunteers to "coordinate exterior beautification on the homes of senior citizens within the Magic Valley of Idaho." It’s initial registered agent was G. Kent Taylor (Public Accountant) of Twin Falls. Cliff Snider, Idaho Power, was also instrumental in the new program.
There were 12 incorporators:
Ed Bulgin, Amalgamated Sugar Company
Richard Boyd, College of Southern Idaho, Office on Aging
G. Kent Taylor, P.A.
Greg Lovell, Idaho First National Bank
Jack Miller, Idaho Power Co.
Michael McBride, Independent Meat Co.
Dennis Conrad, KLIX Radio
Penne Main, KMVT
Rosemary Laufenburg, Magic Valley Regional Medical Center
Louise Slater, Mountain Bell
Wiley Dodds, Times News
Curtis Eaton, Twin Falls Bank & Trust
The initial Board of Directors was comprised of "one designated representative of each sponsor organization." They were identical to the incorporators.
