4. Preview Party: The committee approved the menu and pricing for the Preview Party and
ordered the printing in preparation for the August mailing. It was decided that at the next
meeting we would stuff the 3500 envelopes and additional volunteers are welcome. We'll
have sandwiches for everyone. We discussed the set up of the Clubhouse and reservations
and it was decided that people needed to put a whole table together themselves at the time of
their reservations, and that all remaining seating would be "open seating ". Bonnie will work
with Doug Beach to determine the best location for the Elmhurst College Band in the new
Clubhouse.
5. A Sponsorship and Raffle Update was distributed and we are well ahead of the same time
last year — including the underwriting for various events. Sponsorship letters and
opportunities were presented and approved by the committee to use for solicitations.
6. County Canine Units: Bonnie will meet with representatives from the County Canine Units
to organize the pet parade and to prepare the information for schools, publicity and postcard
mailing reminders.
7. Three food vendors have expressed an interest in participating in the Sunday event and Joyce
Antoniolli reported that the Farmer's Market vendor will be returning.
