Other Business
Venue Commission members visited Bristol Palace and Old Orchard. At this point the
commission will wait to see if Victoria in the Park will be a viable venue. We will have a definite
answer from Avery within the next few months. The problem is with the building not the
banquet company.
Public Works Luncheon The luncheon was great and employees were very appreciative of the
gesture.
Centennial Commission Linda Hoefert is the liaison between the Centennial Commission and
the Special Events Commison.
Next Meeting There will be no SEC meeting in July and the next meeting will be August 2 "
