Approval of Minutes
A motion was made to approve the minutes of the April 17, 2013, by Marilyn Alaynick seconded
by Laura Ander. The motion was unanimously approved.
Chair Report
Linda asked the group to come prepared for the meetings and try to keep our meetings to a
maximum of forty-five (45) minutes. She thanked all the volunteers who worked the Buffalo
th
Grove Symphonic Band concert on April 20 . She also thanked the village for the gift of flash
drives that were given to the commissioners as a thank you gift at this year's volunteer
reception.
Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band
th
The spring concert, held on April 20 at Stevenson High School, was very successful. The band
felt the attendance was at an all time high. It was estimated that there were close to 500
people in attendance. The program seemed to be very well received b the community.
The fall concert will be held on November 3, 2013, at Buffalo Grove High School.
Artists' League.
Sharon Borstein reported the April meeting was very successful. Guest speaker Larry Goldberg
spoke to the group about how to write a business plan.
A date for the May meeting has not been set. This meeting will be a follow-up to Larry
Goldberg's program— "Show me yours and I'll show you mine." The members will be asked to
bring their business plans in and the group will critique each others plans.
Art Festival
Carol reviewed some of the details of the fest with the commission members.
Amdur Productions submitted a sample of the proposed poster. Sandy Greenberg made a
motion to ask Amdur to submit another poster design. Lynne Schneider amended the motion
to add that Linda Rosen and Carol Berman could approve a revised design since it's getting
close to the time advertising materials are needed. The motion was approved unanimously.
Volunteers are still need for the fest.
Carol met with the Commission for Residents with Disabilities. They will be arranging the artists
for the Unique Expression program. They are trying to get a mixutre of quality artists and also
some people who have not been in the fest in previous years.
The CRD wanted the 4 man golf cart once again this year. It was discussed to have a path
behind the tents just large enough for the gold cart to use which will be a shorter distance for
those who need the service to walk. It was also suggested to have specific stations set with
signs that indicate it was a stop of those who needed assistance.
There will be a special walk on Sunday from 9:00-10:OOAM, before the fest officially opens, for
people with disabilities. This will allow people to use wheel chairs, motorized scooters and
wheel chairs in the midway prior to the crowds coming. The committee could not decide on a
name for this event. Carol and Linda will select a name of this event.
Barbara Herman has volunteered to ask the Bank of Buffalo Grove for 160 plastic bags that we
can use to hold a bottle of water, banana and a power bar with a thank you note to distribute
to the artists at the end of the fest.
