JUNIOR ROYALTY:
The 1995-96 junior ambassadors introduced themselves. The
committee thanked them for doing such a wonderful job representing Brooklyn Center this
year.

FINANCE/BUDGET:
Cohen said Cass Screw will donate $250 and Firstar will donate
$500. LaCrosse said she did not receive anything from North Memorial. Cohen will call Jerry
Pedlar. Someone asked if the Hilton had been contacted. Cohen it should be a personal
contact because of it being a new business. Dorff said we should send out the letters early so
businesses can budget for it. Cohen said when you are collecting for an occasion like the
75th anniversary, the money comes in easier. He questioned whether we are selling the
product well enough. LaCrosse said Target in Plymouth donates all the money for the
1
fireworks. She asked if someone on the committee could meet with a representative at
Daytons or Target to find out what part of the Brooklyn Center community receives money.
She said they advertise a percentage of profits going back to the community. The most we
see is about $100 donation from Target and Daytons.
PICNIC/GAMES:
Dorff and Neilson have collected about $2,000 worth of prizes and
gift certificates from the business community. Some of the other people are still out trying to
get their donations.
PUBLICITY:
LaCrosse said the caps sell for $6 each. She asked if someone
would take t-shirts and sell them at the ice cream social and then bring them back to the
community center. Zastrow said she would. She will bring the extras to the arts & crafts fair
on Friday morning.
SUBSTATION:
LaCrosse said it does not look good. The movie theater owner decided to
show a movie on two different screens and it would not be appropriate for children. She will
know for sure later today.
SUNDAY IN CENTRAL PARK:
No report.
10K & 2 MILE RUN/WALK:
