Welcome to our newest member, Joan Kuffel. She has lived in the Village since
1956, one of the "original families" ! Joan designed the Village Flag.
Original may be at Village Hall or the Museum. She won a war bond for making
the flag!
Mike discussed finding the "original" 168 people who lived in Buffalo Grove at
incorporation. Janet explained we will concentrate on finding these families
and not go back to 1900 or further etc.
t
Arlene spoke with a woman named Donna who has movies of the 1 parade.
Perhaps we can use this during the open house? Mary Jo also had old 8mm films
that she gave to the Village several years ago. Stored in the museum or
Village Hall?
Janet says in the next Village Newsletter, she has an article asking for
information or submissions for display from residents.
Janet was given a diary by George Weidner 1889-1929; it has interesting notes
of daily/weekly happenings in the area - maybe we can use this ...
The Museum does sit on the original land of the Raupp family farm.
th
There will be a link on the Village Website to the 50 Anniversary Committee
later this year. This site can be updated and enhanced as needed.
Mary Jo discussed a book written by a local author, Blanche Colman, Why Horses
Mrs. K? .
Calendar/History Committee: they have met several times already. Outline has
been created of the information they will use.
The Booklet will be in color, the calendar will be black and white w/collage
photos. Ads/sponsorships at the rear of the calendar.
Veterans, display: no report
Car show: date of June 21, 2008 has been chosen. Paulette has contacted a
local car dealer for sponsorship of the event. She also contacted a new race
car company in Vernon Hills about sponsoring a tent for building model cars
etc.
Time Capsule: no report
Logo: Jennie/Craig/Beverly each are contacting one high school (Craig has
already spoken to BGHS) . We need the logos to be created and submitted by
the end of the first marking period 2006. The chosen one possibly could be on
the vehicle stickers being sold in May 2007.
Sponsorships: No report - Mike & Rich have not met to discuss details. Mike
suggests a general letter to be sent to area businesses to see if this
generates interest. He would like the logo used on the letterhead of the
stationery.
Mike discussed the need to create a budget for the whole 6 month event. He
would prefer monetary donations so we can control costs and use money where
needed. He is also favorable to in-kind donations (food) for various events.
Dinner: the sub-committee is meeting next week - different aspects of the
dinner. Probable higher percentage of "yes" responses; room can only hold
300? Possible 2 dinners to accommodate everyone? "A & B" lists? Dinner will
be by invite only. Everyone has to pay to attend. We don't want long winded
speakers. All agreed we need to skip the dance floor - won't be any room.
Open House: no report
Candy: no report
Light Poles: no report
Display Case: no report
Blanket/Note cards: Joan Karge found information on a company that can make
the blankets
Band/Music: Janet has met with Linda Rosen and Howard Green. The suggestion
was made for a Sunday afternoon concert at Buffalo Grove High School in early
August, 2008, perhaps with an ice cream social.
Mike suggests, at the Willow Stream Concerts (on Thursday nights) , maybe one
th
night can be "50 Anniversary Night" with appropriate music and tie in
picnic/dinner night? All agreed this was a good idea.
Jay suggested we re-name Lake Cook Rd "Main Street" for the 6 month
anniversary period.

Next meeting September 28 at Village Grill/Clubhouse
