Welcome to Mount Prospect - April 28, 2007: Dale reported that invitations will be
mailed during the last two weeks in March. The Village is handling the mailing list and
the actual mailing. Our goal is to increase attendance this year. In the past, we have sent
300-500 invitations, with a resulting attendance of approximately 50 people. We are
hoping that by combining this event with the Fun & Fitness Walk, that attendance will
increase. Janice is handling the prizes.
Art Fair - June 23, 2007: Skip reported (for Teresa) that 17 applications have been
received, which is lower than in the past at this point in time. The deadline for
applications is the end of March. Mike discussed distributing flyers at the Mt. Prospect
schools to generate interest and nominees for the Art Scholarships. We agreed to provide
$100 scholarships for one art student from each of the Mt. Prospect schools.
Fourth of July Parade: No report necessary.
Sousa Event - July 30, 2007: Martha reported that this event will be offered in
conjunction with the Community Band. Eileen will assist Martha on this committee.
Family Bicycle Ride - September 8, 2007: No report necessary.
Winter Festival Parade: No report necessary.
Christmas House Decorating Event: No report necessary.
Snow Sculpture Contest: Mike will find out the date for next years' event.
Celestial Ball, February 2, 2008: We received a nice thank-you note from Ralph Wilder.
We discussed possibly starting the music at 9:15 P.M. instead of9:00 P.M.. We tossed
around a couple of ideas for the next theme, one being "Ground Hog Day" and one
related to our 90th birthday. Ground Hog Day merited a few chuckles, and it would be a
belated 90th, or more accurately, our 91 st birthday in 2008.
