PROGRAM/ENTERTAINMENT
Councilmember Kay Lasman reported Brooklyn Junior Jazz Band does not need risers. They will need 15
chairs and the rest of them stand. Earle Brown Heritage Center is going to provide a dance floor at no
additional charge. We will need to order one more gallon of punch but they can adjust the cake to
accommodate the extra students.
COMMITTEE ACTION ITEMS
Sue Low will emcee the awards program. Tony Kuefler has the door prize tickets. Doug Darnell will
emcee the door prize give-a-ways. Dorothy Jacobson has 13 nice prizes so far. She is doing really well.
She gives the businesses a copy of the program from the previous year to show them how they will be
recognized. It was decided we should do a follow-up thank you letter to contributors. Sue LaCrosse
said we will not be able to do a Northwest Cities show this year because Brooklyn Center’s rotation
doesn’t come up for awhile. She said her supervisor is checking to see if there would be another way to
get the information on Channel 12. Dr. Orn will see if he can get us on a program. Phil Cohen has
ordered the pens.
OTHER
Doug Darnell suggested we burn a CD for each award recipient. Tom Shinnick and Dr. Orn are going to
check on some ideas for doing this. Taping the entertainment and the awards ceremony and the taking of
pictures is tabled to the January 15 meeting.
MEETING SCHEDULE
