A colorized version is needed before presentation to Council.
This has been tabled until next month.
Jenny Schell was present to give a report on the success of Playtime in the Park. The program started with 12 children and ended with 30. It was a great success. Approximately half were from Indialantic, with the remainder coming from surrounding communities. She suggested perhaps doing it again, perhaps with 2 one-hour sessions. Mr. Bohlman suggested perhaps distributing name badges to easily identify those in the group. Ms. Schell discussed a United Way Grant she could apply for, it must be submitted by April 26.
Mr. Bohlman made a motion to recommend Ms. Schell apply for the Grant, Ms. Kowalski seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Ms. Schwanbeck reported that the Easter Egg Hunt was a great success, and thanked all on the committee for their help. Ms. Schwanbeck suggested perhaps starting earlier next year, the heat being a factor, causing the chocolate to melt.
