3. Minutes : There were no minutes of the previous meeting to approve as the meeting was a
working meeting. The committee met informally on August 15 to stuff envelopes for the
village wide Autumn Fest mailing.
4. Raffle Gifts: Adam announced that Tiffany's would be donating several items — a scarf, a
pen set and some stationery. Raffle prizes are still being solicited. It was decided to use
several of the raffle prizes for door prizes on the night of the Preview Party. Bonnie will
choose several prizes.
5. Identification badges: Committee members and volunteers will be given badges for the day.
6. Volunteers: A couple of people have volunteered as a result of the mailing. Committee
members present signed up for a volunteer time slot. Joan Philip will also ask Civic
Association Board members to volunteer. Joan will print the raffle tickets and Joyce will take
care of Preview Party tickets.
7. Pet Parade: The committee decided to distribute Pet Parade applications through the school
as some members feared parents may have received the information in the mailing and not
mentioned it to their children. Eight people have registered thus far. Flyers will be distributed
to both Brook Forest and Butler Schools the week of Sept. 17. All participants will receive a
certificate. Bonnie will get presentation ribbons and continue to work with Officers Ramirez
and Mucha to organize the parade. A letter will be sent to all village board and commission
members encouraging them to participate with their pets.
8. Preview Party: Bonnie stated the Buffet will be served on the covered veranda and food will
be served by staff rather than having guests serve themselves. A strolling musician will
entertain during dinner. It was recommended it be soft background music with no
amplification. Valet parking will be ordered for guests.
9. Postcards: Reminder postcards will be mailed the week before the event to all residents. B
& T members also were mailed Autumn Fest information and reservations forms for the
Preview Party.
10. Adjournment: 8:15 p.m.
