the past - 30 in 2006 compared to 44 in 2005 and 57 in 2004. Flags were donated by
Dick Hughes of ERA American Brokers. However, he has moved out of Mt. Prospect
and we will need to obtain flags elsewhere in the future. Commission members were
requested to be present at the event to hand out flags and programs.
Family Bike Ride -10/14/06
House Decorating Event - Week of 12/4/06 - Paul Seils: Discussion was held on
accepting applications from homeowners vs. Commission members submitting their
opinions of homes they have searched out and having Paul Seils make the final judgment.
A decision was made to do the same as it is has been in the past.
Celestial Celebration XIV: A decision was made among the committee to hold
meetings in the evening. Early discussion was held regarding Ralph Wilder's new
contract.

Playground Pals event. A decision was made to donate $500 (or similar amount from last

A suggestion was made to be aware of traveling exhibits and to work with the Mt.
Prospect Public Library in arranging an additional event.
