Chairman's Report:
Mo received a letter from a not-for-profit group who is interested in getting a booth at the BG
Days Festival. By general consensus, it was decided that the group could come in the first year in
the Children's Fair on Saturday, with the committee finding them a spot on Sunday and Monday.
Mo will get back to them by the end of the week. Mo noted that this is a group that is already in
the parade.
Police: Jim Newton - Not present
Park District: Ryan Risinger
Ryan has nothing yet. He has no report from anyone in the Park District on what activities they
would have at the festival.
Parade: Joe Tenerelli - Not present
Mobile Com: Roger Remblake - Not Present
Fun and Food: Rick Kahen
Rick has gotten 300 water bottles donated for the Fun and Food function. The Fraternal Order of
Police gave him a check last year, that was too late to use. He is using it to have visors made up
with FOP on the bill of the cap.
Rick stated that he hasn't worked on the food yet for the Fun and Food, but that it is too early at
this time.
He stated that the Rehab Institute has a wheelchair basketball team that could play against the
Police Department or Trustees for Monday street entertainment. He thought that it could be set
up on Raupp in the street near the Craft Show, using portable back stops. He will look at the idea
a little more.

The contracts are out. Karen is still waiting for some of the contracts to be returned.

Fund Raisin: Sara Herman
Letters went out this week to the top 100 employers and sponsors. The letters to all the
businesses in Buffalo Grove will go out next week.
13 sponsors have already responded, with 6 of them increasing their donations.
Publicity: No Report
Mo noted that Steve Zulasky is a local reporter, who is more than glad to give a helping hand to
the Publicity group. Mo stated that he will probably end up writing some of the articles about BG
Days.
Ken made the motion to adjourn.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:26.
Respectfully submitted.
