Attached is a memorandum from Lisa Benoit with all the details. We still need to compile a list of items to put in the capsule.

A picture of the marker that covers the Sesquicentennial capsule in Vet's Park will be available at the meeting. ■ Banners: Preliminary inquiries are indicating that a production of 160- banners, double-sided, will take approximately 6-8 weeks for delivery.

They �, suggest different ways to protect your items inside but they do nvt have a "preservation technique"per say. I will be checking into a few companies that advertize about preservation and will follow-up at a later date. • Plaque I Cement Marker: I have been given the names of two monument companies that Colonial works with. I will follow-up to see if there might be another donation. Note to Marc�': The donation listings should read as follows: • Peter M. Justen Colonial Funeral Home 3807 W. Elm Street McHenry, IL 64050 (815)385-0063 Robert G. Mrachek President • Ameriean Wilbert Vault Corporation of Forest Park, Illinois (708)366-3211 � Crregory Reichle President TIME CAPSIILE Miseellaneous: • I spoke with a few people abc>ut locating the Sesquicentennial Time Capsule contents list and with the help of Mazci should have that listing shortly. � •Nancy Fike has agreed to meet witb me at a later date to discuss how the Historical Society will help.

All new and additional ideas are encouraged and welcomed. Please eall or fax us @(847)854- 4346 fax: (847)85�1-5839. BANNERS: •Process Time: Preliminary inquires are indicating that a production of 1bQ bannets that are double-sided will take approximately 6-8 weeks for delivery. We are hoping to beat the holiday rush and get the banners by late October. • I am speaking to a few local companies to get preliminary bids. I should have this infoimation by our next meeting. This will give us enough time to make the decision and move forward to meet our deadline. • I will be contacting RABA and the Chamber to negotiate a time frame for � hanging the Millennium banners as a replacement for any holiday banners already standing. •The committee will need to decide on whether the banner will cansists of the artwork in black and white or the black and white artwork with approx. 6 "at the bottom set aside for corporate sponsorships. From preliminary discussicros,the use of a separate select colar and typeface far all the sperosors will be more cost effective that trying to silks��reen the many different cotporate logos and colors. CONCESSIONS for Friday Night: • The Lions: Pete Merkle directed me to contact the president of the Lions. Mr. Iry Stabveteig spoke with me and informed me that the organization will be meeting on Monday(7/12/99)and that he would propose this request. His initial concern is that the concessions truck is usually put away for the winter. I will contact him after they meet to hear their decision. • Val has a call into the Boosters again but feels that we should move forward with the I.ions. CQFFEE C:4RT jor Saturday: � • Goldies Co,,�''ee Cart: I spoke with Wayne Gulgren of Goldies. The usual rate is $100/hour with a 3 hour minimum. ($300). This would be the cost to the city if you wish to give refreshments for free. This would include reg. Coffee, espressos and more,teas and hot chocolate. He will be working up a price on a few of their treats which I should have by our nea�t meeting. � Mr. Gulgren is suggesting that we agree on a flat rate for all items served and let the"customers"pay. Any cost that would not be met for the minimum $30�. would be picked up by the city. � � contiu�uNn�r, �c � , , , , . . � : . „ . . . . • • • . � enr ans ml ennlurn c� e r�. lor� By JAMI PETERSON Jan.2,2000,in the McHenry Community High More youths are needed, Panteleo said. with aerial photos of McHenry, school year- The Northwest Herald School West Campus auditorium.
