1--------- Subject: Honorable Mayor and City Council members December 6, 2001 Fete des Lacs To: Date: ~ . :. ,.~_,---- _-r; c'M-.:we--v ! At the last business meeting of the Centerville Lions Club, a discussion regarding the fate of the city celebration took place. The city celebration has always been a large source of funds and fun for the Lions Club members. We were informed that there was currently nobody in charge of pI arming the event and discussed planning the event as a Lion Club as we had in the past. From: Lion Craig Bode We talked about the idea of funding the event and details are still not clear on the city's intentions in this regard. Some other funding alternatives were discllssed but no decisions were made. We also talked about the manpower required to put on an event like this. We decided that, since our membership has grown so considerably in the past year, we would now be in a position to plan and stage an event like this. The vote for planning was unanimously approved by the club. The Centerville Lions Club is hereby advising the council of its intention to plan the city celebration for 2002. The Centerville Lions Club is also asking for whatever monies are budgeted for the celebration to go toward that, at our discretion. It is our feeling that the City of Centerville, in order to maintain its Star City status and maintain civic pride that is so necessary in these troubling times, would be acting responsibly by budgeting $25,000 to an event like this_ Of course our books would be open for your review if this was desired or necessary as a condition of your donation. We would like to thank you in advance for your consideration ofthis memo and for the generous financial Sllpport the largest business in town is able to make to this event.
