CURRENT BUSINESS:
1. Charitable Giving: After much discussion of the philosophy and obligations of the
Special Events Commission, Commission members voted. We will continue to address
requests for donations on a case by case basis.
2. Fine Arts Festival: Teresa reported there are 35 artists at the present time who will be
participating. This number is down 12 from last year to date and our goal is 50
participants. Three $500 scholarships are offered and scholarship forms have gone out
to the schools. Purchase award letters are going out in the coming week. There will not
be a raffle this year. Commission members will be given shirts in the same color to
identify us to the participants and attendees. The Blues Bar is having their Blues Fest
the same day as our Festival and it will take place in front of the Village Hall from 2:00-
9:00. They will have banners advertising their event and will include the Fine Arts
Festival on them at no cost to us.
3. Fourth of July Parade: There was no report available from Jill. There was a
discussion of the positives and negatives of the parade. Most members feel the parade
is too long and we must limit the number of participants. There were numerous gaps
in last year's parade and we need to keep the flow gogoing ithis year. Tom is looking nto
a Fife and Drum Corp that is out of Wisconsin.
ADJOURNMENT: The May 3, 2008 meeting of the Mount Prospect Special Events Commission
adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
