Recent Events
• Final numbers for F&F are in! We will hear from Courtney and Ann on that, but it is really great work!
• It is time to really focus on our obligations for helping to make Park Lovers' Ball a success. Please buy/form
your tables and make a final push on auction items.
Organizational
• Donna and I had a great meeting with Sonny Brandtner and would like to propose that we add him to the
board with the mission of being exclusively focused on getting underwriting and auction items for our events.
• Will be having our meeting on December 9"' to talk about marketing and using some marketing strategies to
help our Friends efforts. Get your ideas to Katie please!
Parks Board Meeting
• Parks Board initially point of view on concessions is to recommend to City Council that Edloe Deli be
retained for concessions at the pool. A number of practical reasons are driving this, especially that most
customers were pleased with the food and the fact that there is no kitchen in the space, meaning that we need a
local vendor. It was noted that Chick Fil A has an interest, but they are not open on Sundays which could be
an issue.
