th
Janet thanked everyone for the success of the dinner on March 7 She
especially thanked Judy, Judith, Beverly, Barb & Arlene for putting it all
together.
Open House- went very well. Janet again thanked the committee for talking her
out of an outdoor event for that weekend! It was good to see the 400-500
people that passed through Village Hall on Saturday & Sunday (March 8-9th) .
Many people stayed and watched the videos and signed the time capsule scrolls.
April 27th Open House: Janet is very pleased that so many village employees
have gotten involved in planning this event. Susan & Ghida have put together a
tri fold brochure with the activities for that day. (Copies passed around for
corrections/additions) .
Committee members should sign up to be there during the day to assist with
questions etc. Nancy has the sign up sheet.
Beverly requested more handicapped parking spaces be allotted for the event,
around Village Hall.
(Janet advises she has no info on the Hot Dog guy-will follow up)
Logo: it' s all over the village! The light pole banners look great. Public
Works Dept made the `Happy Birthday `signs which are up around the Village.
History Book: Many nice compliments have come in concerning the history book.
Overall, it is a great book! Kudos to the committee who assembled it.
Car Show/Sock Hop: Paulette reports:
Cloverleaf Bottling is the only area Vendor for Green River soda. They can
supply 20 oz bottles 24 to a case. $13 per case minimum 7 case orders.
Delivery included and a `Green River' sign for decoration too they also
sell Dog n Suds root beer. Janet agrees to a 7 case purchase
Coca Cola- spoke with Company they have an 8 oz glass bottle reg/diet of
coke. 24 bottles per case minimum 10 case order. They also can supply
Fanta orange, grape, strawberry soda. The salesman would ask Coke for a
donation of some of the product in exchange for In Kind Sponsorship
acknowledgement. Janet says no we will purchase locally
BG has never charged admission for any BG Days concerts nor does the park
district charge for concerts. Charging `admission' fee- hard to swallow.
Sub committee requests we change this to `suggested donation $5' .
after discussion Janet agreed)
Spoke w.Pete- Dick Biondi' s manager. They will do dances such as the
Stroll, Jitter Bug and any other requests we have. They will bring 3-4
hula hoops and some prizes for give aways. ( we will give out ribbons or
something similar) Referred Pete to Adam Moodhe, our sound guy so they
can discuss what is needed.
We will have planned games for day and night. We will purchase 12 hula
hoops, bubble gum, paddle balls etc ( betty lou is handling games and
scheduling)
The commercial size coolers have been found and the Boy Scouts have agreed
to let us use them! We will arrange pick up and delivery.
