APPROV AL OF MINUTES: All members present moved to approve the minutes of the August

FINANCIAL REPORT: All members present approved the Treasurer's Report of August 31,
2009 as written.
CURRENT BUSINESS:
1. Family Bike Ride: Public Works will be holding their auction the same day as the bike
ride. Due to this, parking for our event will be in the Bosch parking lot. Teresa reported
she had 50-60 registrants online and Christina had 35. SEC is providing water and
granola bars to participants. Sandy will be picking up the coffee for the event. Laury put
together the give away bags and Janice did a phenomenal job obtaining raffle prizes
from local businesses. Check in time for riders is at 9:00.
2. Celestial Celebration Survey Results: The commission went over the results of our
survey on the Celestial. SEC members gave their input regarding planning process,
quality of winners, length of award presentation and all other aspects of the event.
3. Celestial Celebration Planning: It was decided the winners will be announced before
the event and no longer be kept private until the evening of the Celestial. There was
discussion of the various awards and how changes in the community (community is
getting younger for instance) have affected them. Sandy had suggested a new way of
presenting the awards. She and other members will be working on a plan to be
implemented with the 2011 Celestial. There will be videotaping of winners doing the
things that got them nominated. This will take the place of a long talk about them before
they receive awards. SEC is hoping to peak audience interest in the award
presentation. Glen and Kathy will continue to take care of decorations. The theme will
be a Masquerade Ball with a Carnivale theme. The name has not been determined yet.
ADJOURNMENT: The September 5, 2009 meeting of the Mount Prospect Special Events
