4th of July Parade There are approximately 40 units registered to date. Potential participants do
not start thinking parade until school is out. Need a sign at the end of the parade saying
something like "End of Parade - Follow Us To The Festival". Need a line painted in close areas
that people can not cross, call Teresa prior to follow-up with what areas need to be marked. Will
make it easier for SEC members to tell kids to stay back. Recommended that what golf carts
have been used in the past we keep the same number - use extra cart to move participants to
position. St. Paul needs to be told Maple Street will be closed at 11:45 and no cars will be
permitted to Busse Automotive parking lot after that. Line-up sheet needs to be done
alphabetically. Members are asked to be there at 11:45 for assignments.

Celestial Celebration Teresa and Christina met with members of the Centennial Commission to
discuss the 2017 centennial dinner. The SEC will have the lead on the event with input from the
Centennial group. We need to start planning by looking for a venue, need to put together a list of
needs if not in a banquet facility. All members are to start submitting thoughts to Jill via email, she
will in turn compile a inclusive list. Must haves: open bar, outstanding food and not to exceed
$100 per person.
