Introduction of new member - Jim Briskin, a 15-year resident of Buffalo Grove.
March 71h Banquet: Invitee lists are on the tables - committee requests help in locating addresses
for some of the listed people. Judy sent her report to Janet - everything is moving along nicely.
Open House 3/8-9/2008: Will be inside council chambers. Mary Jo & Janet have checked out
photos & other historical artifacts that will be in glass display cases that weekend (plates,
ground-breaking shovel, coaster sets, etc.). Videos of parades have been offered for use that
weekend. Carmen told Paulette he has photos of the golf course for display. Jack Schmerer of
the Park District is putting together a CD with interviews of residents with photos for this event.
Committee would like old videos to play in the background. Susan says the Village has
equipment to project onto a screen.
April 27th Block Party: Similar to the 3/8 & 9 event, but will include the Fire &Police &PW
departments displaying the vehicles on Raupp. Janet envisions free hot dogs & soda and/or ice
cream, etc. to attendees. Mike says the Park District has used Dorfler's Meats for hot dogs. He
will try to determine how many were served for us to give consideration to our event.
