Committee discussed the need to book events further out and to place in the Newsletter. Ms. Potts-Hendry agreed to look into booking an event for the Fall.

B. Easter Egg Hunt

This event is Saturday April 8 at 9:00 a.m. in Orlando Park. Ms. Schwanbeck advised the Committee that everything is in place. She has contacted the bunny, chicken and clown. Kelly Radano from the Fire Department volunteered to be our chicken and her costume has been dropped off at the firehouse. Although the clown’s price has gone up from $60 to $80, Ms. Schwanbeck stated that this price is still very reasonable because the clown is there until the last child leaves, regardless of the time. Previously everyone agreed to help Ms. Schwanbeck fill the Easter eggs, and she will distribute the supplies. The four patches are: (0-2 Ms. Potts-Hendry), (3-4 Ms. Goldner), (5-6 Ms. Goldner’s husband or daughter) and (7-8 Ms. Benevente). Chairman Goldner previously volunteered her husband, daughter and friends to help. Ms. Holmgren, secretary to the Committee, will check to see if there is any face paint from last year’s event and advise Ms. Goldner.

Ms. Schwanbeck will call everyone to remind him or her to be at the Park at 8:10 a.m. on Saturday, April 8, as well as ask Mr. Cassedy to turn off the sprinkler system the night before and to cut the grass the week before.
