nominations. Awards will be given at the December 8 Village Board meeting.

to 100 local businesses who have not contributed. John Eilering at the Mount Prospect National Bank

tickets have been sold.

who made nominations and to those who were nominated.
8. Octoberfest. Steve reported that the Lions Club has officially voted to participate with the Mount
Prospect Park Foundation in this event. A meeting is planned for January 4. Steve also asked if the
Special Events Commission would help. A motion was made, seconded and approved that the
Commission assist in this event.
9. Fourth of July Parade. The new committee of Jill Friedrichs, Dale Draznin, Steve Durlacher, Leo and
Lil Floros has met.
10. There is a possibility of a Home Town Days in 1999. The Village has budgeted $5,000 for this event.
Hopefully, the Arts Fair can be revived.
