S~~~6M2001! My ideas for the 2001 Festival Committee have been derived from my experience in planning and staging the 2000 Fete des Lacs, from countless hours of talking with members of last years committee and countless hours of discussions with other members of the community. I feel we need a more structured committee, not because I think the event will be more successful, but rather to spread out the workload and try to minimize some of the issues that arose last year, when we worked as an informal committee. I feel last year, because we were pioneering new trails ancl breaking the mold of what had been done in the past, it was necessary to hElve an informal committee. We are hopefully wiser now and learned a lot last year. Jggal Issues My ideas for the committee for next year consist essentially of a seven-member committee, similar to the park and rec or EDC committee. I have attached a set of bylaws created from looking at the bylaws of our current city committees. Also, all meetings would be open and would follow "Roberts Rules of Order." 8Qpointment I would suggest we contact our committee from last year and residents that helped in other volunteer capacities and invite them to submit a "letter of interest." I would also recommend we advertise the openings on the sign at city hall and in the Quad Community Press. It would be fair at that point for the city council to review the letters and consider who was involved in the event last year when making appointments. I am confident we would find the seven necessary members without further problems.
