4th of July Parade
-Miscommunication on my (]ill's) part regarding language in paperwork to be distributed
to participants for Covid cancelation.
-Have spoken with Sean Dorsey, PW and Lance Malina, Village Attorney about language.
-Paperwork is ready to be sent to past/future participants.
-There is still a chance event could get cancelled. Depends on Covid numbers.
-Easier to set-up parade in advance and cancel than it is to try to put something
together at the last minute.
-Right now the Mount Prospect Lions Club Festival is "a go" that could change as well.
-Meeting needs to take place between Cassady, Dorsey, Frederick and Friedrichs on
logistics.
