2:00 P.M. CITY HALL Nov. 13, 1984
The meeting was called to order at 2:00 P.M, by Chairman Bolger.
In attendance were: Chairman Bolger, Barb Gilpin, Anne Rodenkirch,
Jim Wiser, Pat Joyce, Dawn Ferguson, Gene Hester, Liz Nolan, Tony Freund,
and Dolores Rogers.
Excused because of working out of town: Gary Snell, Ceil
Serritella, and Frank McClatchey.
Chairman Bolger opened the meeting by thanking everyone for being on
time and then brought the full committee up to date on everything that
has transpired so far. Next on the agenda was a review of committee
assignments. While everything is on schedule, Bolger cautioned all
members that there are only 25 days left until the par'ty, so there must
be no let-up in their efforts. There was some discussion as to the
advisability of having a caricature artist at the party. Bolger said the
man he had talked to lives in Janesville, Wisconsin, and while he appears
to be a real gentleman, upon a reference check it was disclosed that he
is in his 70's and just an average caricature artist. It appears that we
will not employ his services for our party.
The menu selection was discussed and will be reviewed by the menu
committee. Liz Nolan and I met with the chef at the Country Club and he
said he will provide a buffet dinner with a beef roast, turkey, mashed
potatoes and gravy, dressing, salads, and a dessert table. We may be
able to add a pork roast to the menu and can make substitution on the
roast turkey if we wish. The price appears to be very satisfactory.
Final determination on the buffet selection will be made by the menu
committee.
Bolger disclosed that he had just received a phone call from Judy
Irwin about a professional entertainment group that would be available to
put on a Broadway-type musical for $150.00. Their show lasts about 45
minutes.
In the discussion that followed, Pat Joyce warned against trying to
jam too much entertainment into one evening. Since Jeff Smith will be
playing the organ and encouraging some sing-alongs and Shirley Smith will
offer several favorites possibly that would be sufficient. Some seemed
to feel that there would be many who wished to dance. Liz Nolan felt
that Jeff's arrangements are suitable for dancing. Bolger said a dance
floor would be provided and that he would talk to Jeff about dance music
and the possibility of a bass player or whatever he suggested for �
enjoyable music for dancing.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:32 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
