In attendance: Lisa, Christie, David M., Mike, Amanda, Daryl, Jon.
University Hills Plaza has hired a production company to host the festival and the Farmer’s Market that is coming up this summer.
EGG HUNT: Perhaps do coffee and bagels next time and a couple of food trucks so neighbors can stay a little longer and mingle more. Daryl has 3-4 sponsors @ $400-$500 per sponsor. All positive feedback from the Egg Hunt. From the sponsors as well as the dentist from Modern Dentistry.
ASSOCIATION FUNDS: Current balance is $2387. To create a type of scholarship/gift for a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School? (More below.)

*** Jon and Lisa met w/Steve (principal @ Bradley). He preferred the picnic be BEFORE school is back in session since we want people to be able to BYOB. Therefore we decided on:
Final Date Chosen – Saturday, August 4th – 5 – 8 PM
Can we do alcohol? Yes, but NO glass allowed! Can it be sponsored? IDK - Jon?!?
Can people BYOB? Yes, see above. Steve would like us to get an off-duty DP Officer just to have on hand and be safe. Lisa reached out to a former parent to see if he can/would be interested in doing this. (Lisa also invited him to invite/include his family.) He is checking w/ the department on the rules (but doesn’t think it would be a problem) and will be back in touch w/me ASAP.
