Dear <br /> First of all, I would like to thank you once again for helping plan <br /> and put on the city celebration this past year!! <br /> Now that the dust has settled, it is time to start planning next year's event. I <br /> have very high expectations for next year's city celebration. I would like to <br /> see increased attendance. I'd like to see the church, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts <br /> and the elementary school get involved. I'd like to lower the price of the <br /> carnival, and bring in more rides for teens. I'd like to do more with the <br /> sponsorship program and the volunteers, offer them a discount night at the <br /> carnival! I have high expectations and they may not all come true, but we <br /> need to start doing it. <br /> One of the many things we learned last year, is that the committee needs to <br /> be more structured this year. I think for the first year, we needed to be <br /> informal, we needed to pioneer new pathways, and we did that. This year <br /> we will have a more formal committee as well as the sub - committees. We <br /> will have seven voting members who will be in charge of different areas of <br /> the festival, then we will have si lb- committees under these 7 members that <br /> will work on each individual event. The only fair way to place these seven <br /> members on the committee is to ask for "letters of interest" and let the <br /> Council decide. Again, I want to say if you don't want to be a voting <br /> member on the "Committee" that's OK, we will still have sub - committees, <br /> and everyone is invited to the meetings. <br /> Please fill out the form enclosed and drop it off at city hall. I am hoping <br /> to have the people who were active in helping last year, help with this year <br /> to plan a great event. It is important that you fill out this form right away <br /> and return it to city hall so we can have a meeting soon! The deadline for <br /> accepting "letters of interest" is Sept. 22, 2000. For legal reasons we will <br /> not accept any letters after this date. The council will be appointing <br /> members to the committee on Oct. 4, 2000. The first meeting will likely be <br /> Oct. 19, 2000, more information will be forthcoming. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions at all! <br /> Ray DeVine <br /> 651- 407 -1800 <br />
