All right. So, we have well, I guess we can start with funding and fundraising. Um, John is not going to be here today. I'm just pulling up some notes. I can uh So, we have a good problem to have if
I can find my note. Um and that is we got discounts on some of our clothing merchandise purchase. Okay. So we are short
$2,510 that we need to spend by next year. Um so the recommendations are would be potentially either more toward merchandise, potentially more toward the book publisher. Um, but we do need to
vote on that today and make it clear. What's the amount decision? Uh, $2,510. Let me just check this text, too, to make sure that number lines up. Much merchandise that Saturday. Yeah, that I do not know who was who
took the Oh, that's me. One um item sold because rainy cold day. Sounds all right. We're we're probably if we're being realistic with ourselves, we're probably six months away from starting to
borrow right now. Be helpful. What do we have? like bags or something like shopping additional types of lunch,
right? I haven't yet. All right. Yes. Yeah. So, [Music] Oh, sorry. So, we're at 23,000.
So, we need that. Let's see. So, we're $1,830 [Music] $182 spent. Yes. Yes.
We can then get the other 25. So, his recommendation was to either up um give the book another $1,000 or unless other people have other ideas and then also increase merchandise purchase to 6,200
from I'm guessing it's probably less than five now or unless you go over the 25,000 I could say. So, because right now we have 10,660 on welcome signs,
um 2,510 on additions to those signs. Let's say 300 5,000 on book publisher, 5,000 on markets and that totals 23170. Okay.
I wouldn't we just work on the splitting out the 1830? Yeah, that probably makes more sense. So, um, yeah. So, any ideas on it needs to be something that can be invoiceable by next week, right? So,
that's the only real idea because then we know we can get an invoice, which is why merchandise makes sense, right? And the book, too. Yeah. Right. So, we could do 830 merchandise and add them to the book. Yeah.
So, I move You should probably exchange for when you build. Um, so I move that we spend another $1,000 towards merchandise and
well, sorry, $1,000 towards book and $830 towards merchandise. Second. All right. And is there any discuss? Well, let me first just throw this to the online people if there's any questions, discussion.
I agree. Okay. All right. So, we can take a roll call vote. Don I I online Joe Cunningham Jr. I Joe Cunningham the third. I
All right. So that's it. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 01. And Don, if you don't mind, thank you everyone that um continue to support um our designer and um as you see more
previews and eventually the book, you know, people across the board, they're going to be really impressed. But um that that just helps you know with 5,000 helps carry us with her through the summer and her services and um that end of it will be done by
September. Well should we go into the printer early September out middle of October is still the plan. So that's you know the printing cost you might imagine but they've gone up a bit but that that alone is a big nut for us about 48,000 right is a recent estimate. still
working on pre-orders and all that. This this gets us to the finish line. That's awesome. All right. And we can keep talking. I just wanted to give I know this is urgent, so I'm sending John the note quickly just so he knows.
Yep. And it was 8:30 to [Music] All right. Um, is there any other funding questions, ideas, comments? I do have a question just on the um on
the platform on teams for signing up. Is that Oh, sorry. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do it when we get Yeah, we'll get there. All right. Um, nothing else for a fundraising idea. Uh, I do know
the list. Uh, he is looking to start getting dates um for the events. Okay. Yeah. All right. Okay. Yeah. All right. So guessing
there's no minutes. So other topics presented regarding fundraising and planning working group reports. Um I guess the biggest thing is we're looking for grade dates. Um he had mentioned the tenative date of July
25th. Um, but we have to Yeah, I mean I think we're we're looking to start um getting the dates going. So, we would have to vote on that if there's what
what um what working group was actually working toward that. We know was that John's that's fair enough. Okay. Mike Okay. Mike John. Okay. So, it'll be the wrong year.
You sure? Although he wrote July 25th, 2025. I assume we do not mean 2025. Oh, right. Oh, no. It's a Saturday. It's a Saturday. I was looking up around July. Definitely join me soon. My wife would
love that it's her birthday. Oh wow. Which of course means we probably will not be but I might not be able to block that. That's the weekend. But we're not going to lose the parade
for me. So and you can't be there. I can't be there. More than likely we will. Actually, honestly, it's probably it's a weekend, so we can probably just piggy back that off. We'll leave on vacation
prior before we never laid down. So, she um Yeah. Is there any concern with the 25th? Presumably these kind of things could be moved but we're probably gonna we're probably going to run out of time
to move it especially once it starts getting in flyers or things like that that we're stop connected in any way home separate entities they wouldn't be held on he's gone back and forth on it because
he had home in the fall I He originally wanted to do that. He wanted to use the school. Yeah. Allow that in the class with John Street.
That's what I saw. Oh, hello. Hello. Heard someone. Actually, this is perfect because you're part of the home. Well, and the setting dates
for the parade, right? [Music] Um, but no, we're just talking about dates. He wants to um one of the things we want to get done is to get a date on the calendar. He had mentioned July 25th. I assume he meant 2026. He said
this this year [Music] September [Music] September. Do we have is that is that a hard enough time to get the book date or should we
wait? as long as it's not something I should bring out to um Sue and I think about having what it was available and sent something to Sue. Okay. Ask her
if there's anything actually within those days. and September. Um, and then once she gets back with that, middle of September, um, I got a hot date with that.
I'm shooting for a Saturday. I'd like to do a Saturday. Okay. Maybe either the 19th or the 26th. I think 19. Okay. But I would probably say I don't know. Do you think we should We can do two things. We can either vote a date in and
if it needs to change we change it or we don't vote it in and if you need to pay a big meeting if people are available for you know in two weeks something like that I would vote a date and then approval I
would date. [Music] All right. So let's take a vote on the parade day. That's how I want to make a motion for 25th [Music]
parade or parade to Yeah. [Music] July 26th. [Music] I make a motion that the parade celebration be held on July 25th
[Music] second. [Music] All right. And uh any discussion? All right. The vote and [Music]
Joe Cunningham Jr. I Joe Cunningham the third eye. That's nine. [Music] All right. And then I guess we'll you want to take a motion for the September
19th through the ultimate date of 26 25th day on September 26 back with a friendly notic
I don't think I can. I can have a second. Second. And any discussion? All right. Don I Jar I [Music]
Joe Cunningham Jr. I Joe Cunningham third eye. All right. Um, are there any other dates we need to or I sound like we were done with Thanksg [Music]
Are we getting the presentation? Yes. Okay. And that's connected with a walk. Okay. It's kind of in conjunction with the health. So it's not really separate. my children [Music]
October 4th And I was like [Music] [Music] still working [Music] for John. No. We have our testimony and Emily was trying to do the ga
they were talking about December 2025 December um they want to follow up with um December this year. Yeah. Okay. Oh, December 6th. Okay. Yeah. I don't
know where that is. Joe, you were haven't been in touch with anybody about the gala, have you? I wrote down the G. Okay, that's me. So, we can't confirm that date. So, it won't go. Not confirmed, but that is
still planned, right? December 6th. Yes, perfect. These meetings are so much smoother than I'm trying to film more than five minutes like four hours later. I two are
included with all I think the [Music] separate [Music] We're just trying to talk about all of our events. Yeah.
I mean, so what we do is have it over. So we're going to have everything laid out on the football field where set up secure on the back soccer field. was okay with that.
[Music] And we are in a lot of I would say that it would be necessary to have at least one at the beginning of the uh monology. Um and then we have
volunteers to make sure that people somewhat accordingly. So you'll have to have people station not so that people don't park at some foot
safely. If we need to get somebody in there ambulance or somebody get out in the event that we can't fit any more cards at that point to shut it down. We're also going to go for the hilltop and see if we can use their parking lot there
and then we'll see if we can maybe alongside the one. Anything the 19th of September is the date that you are planning on the 20th because we had talked about
Sunday the 20th. That's what I had down my last meeting. It's not Saturday. I think Saturday is a better day. And the other good thing is too. Yeah. So you want to have a little bit
of [Music] we have the train probably but as of right now it looks like the window for firework would have to be
plenty of time but Because there's a train. No, no, but there's a train that leaves Kingston into that cell station at 8:25. So it would be like 8:30 after the fireworks. I mean inbound. We're coming back to
Kingston at like 10. So 15 and that I'm going to have shut down. [Music] res they've been very good with coordinating and stuff. So we'll make sure there's
nothing there and then 8:30 is probably dark. So actually would be kind of cool if we had the lights on for a little while. [Music] What are we trying to what are we trying
to get in terms of what kind of things because if we're getting that location and that's part [Music] of
I I don't think he want so deep or so or just before 85 depending on how the firework 7 we'll check you know how dark it's going
to be at that point um I think that once we figure that out then I think I think you know more people and stuff like that. So I would be doing that space. Um, as far as games and
stuff, you want to have everything set up for football. So, game right. So, kids, run around, whatever. Want to play basketball [Music]
on the field. I would love I would love to know that that's what the field of the field actually using that location if we wanted to do any other fundraising at event even day of what we
can do we can do there's a ton of options having the sports wheel well we can do we can do like the wheel first. Yeah. The first home,
you know, $10, [Music] you know, $10. That's it. And then, you know, you have to have some picture that we have like a little picture, but yeah, that's that's enough. I I
don't I didn't know exactly what we were looking to do, but once I find out more and more, [Music] you know, you know, you know, I'm totally down.
I'm up this September. Yeah, that's worth more than I'm worth like $3 gold Facebook. We can make real money for that.
[Music] Um and then maybe somebody detail that you have detail detail detail and if you wanted to have a road
by [Music] I said wanted some fundraisers. All right. Um any other I guess work group topics or planning topic? I did a real quick update or artsy
historical. Oh, real quick. Yeah. Um Emily's even though going away for a lot of the summer um getting things in motion and um sort of form a subcommittee um my
better half Denise who's a a painter and artist has some connections. the word is getting out amongst some visual artists. Um, no one's going to jump on that. Um, really big going in August and the uh first parish campus do your own
work. Hope you know right next door could do a combined you could house some stuff and um music and just you know photography whatever it is. So it's she was related. [Music]
Did she talk about potential dates at all? I don't think so yet. Um, she's reaching out to the church will be presuming that. Yes. All right. So, I guess we can do the historical. Is it a presentation or just
a verbal presentation? Okay. I see the word presentation. I'm ready though. Ready? I just wanted to share with you the far we've come. Uh we had four houses we selected. Uh right now we're at a point where we're going to go and visit the
homeowners and talk with them consort during our event. Um and we we take those and we there's a lot of things we need to do. But the houses that we picked we wanted to show you. This is on Walking Road. It's 29 I believe. Walking
Road. Yeah. 29 walking road. Um it's all original inside and very old. And then we have the body of house which is summer street which is by the relic size. This picture it's red but now it's
a mustard um summer [Music] washing is the name of the hubs 50. We're going to see her June 30th having and are they are these initial
conversations or are they on board? Oh no, they're all No, these are all definite. Okay, I mentioned Ken we didn't know and that's what I wanted to discuss with you guys. I mentioned maybe we would need five houses instead of four, but I want to and jump in if you
want. So this is the old schoolhouse across from the far on Green Street. Um and that's nine. We got nine green street. They're all set and then we're going to of course have the press the start. Those are the poll we
have lined up. However, um we are in the process of trying to be assured that we can use the Adam center. That's we're having booklets made up and that's what they will use for tickets and they will be available at the Adam center. And while they had bought their ticket, we
wanted to have a video loop going that would show houses that are not on the tour because there were so many wonderful historics there. They're going to be in Greece on that date. So, so unfortunately we wanted them and she would have been willing to do it, but they're not going to be home. So anyway, we wanted to have
maybe some kind of a video like if you go to u visit some place like world or um they have a video going that when you visit you can sit down and watch. So that's what we thought we'd like to have background. So for the houses that we
could include, we still want to inform people about these historic places in the town. So we we have to on my committee and I and we have three other ladies. So um so that's something we talked about doing and we also are incorporating scavenger hunts in that
home store. So when they go to each house there'll be a picture of something that um artifacts in as well and we'll have somebody there a historian to talk
about the artifact. There is also a historical barn. It's not a house and it's not indoors, so to speak. But what we're going to do is have maybe some local vendors, bait sale, some merch, obviously when you can sell it in the
barn. There's some really beautiful features in that historic fire. Oh, this structure in the town was called that was what Carol 29. She's 30. No, she's 29, but Beth Lar is next door and she's 23. Anyway, 29
walking 29 walking is Carol's house. Yeah. And she said it's like one of the Oh, so we thought it isn't necessarily something because it's just a bar, but it would be a nice feature and if we could do play it up as a refreshment.
Well, we thought, you know, we could have them there. soaps and honey and whatnot. Exactly. Exactly. What else? These are the old townhouse. So I think we were also going to feature them in the house
for the house. picture that feature it was a special feature but they going to be so they even though her mother would be there they don't know and I don't know um so Ken offered that perhaps we could include on the
tour but I want to see what you well not at all at all I'm sure it will be a wonderful feature my concern is I don't know how many we should have we thought Adam center at 11 house tour will start at 12 and then at 3:30 3:30 John
Bendetti went to do a cemetery tour the old burial ground and a church even started as well. So we he's part of this. So there's so much invol we didn't know if my house was too many or so we
don't know and so I went to the north what do you think was in my garden at 5 and it was 12 to 4 the same time frame but we're trying to be at the end I don't want to cut him short I want people to be able to be
there by 3 3:30 and he'll talk about the important people buried in the old barbecue and took people to the church and having the artifacts at the beginning. You don't want people to feel rushed like they have their own houses to enjoy.
Exactly. And people are going to be tired if they start at 11 and they go to the Adam Center, see a little video thing and and look around and uh pick up their booklet and then head out. I mean four hours was a was a good chunk of time from 12 to 4 and it was perfect
for the five classes but I thought if you like I don't want to short change and you know child [Music] about anything. So I don't know what you people think. I
mean I I just thought I would present it to you. We do have some more substantial wonderful um and we would love to have yours too. weekend, but I just don't know if it's going to be overwhelming to people or you have a great lineup and of course the brat house you know itself um
some you know time there that bar I don't know but that sounds like a nice stop too sounds like you got fun yeah I think so and Adam
yeah know I'm hoping I want a tour of your [Music] might be open for a little while. That's what we'll just say. So, you think we're good with the cemetery and the Adams and and the barn
as well. You think we're good with Yeah, that's six locations. I don't want people to feel that the price we're going to charge is $30 a couple. Uh seniors will pay 20 and
well we charge 25 or 30. Yeah. But a person and then That's right. That's right. That's right. 50 for a couple. That's right. That's right. A person is 30. 50 for a couple. 20 for a senior. Well, I don't want them to feel they're
getting short changed. You know, I did put one couple years back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How many seven? [Music]
No, that's not Well, we're going to be sure and we have assured all those homeowners that we will have since they're keeping tabs on people walking through that they don't cut, they don't take, they don't break. So, um because people have opened their houses willingly, but they also are concerned
about safety and insurance. So, Yeah. So, I think we're good. Sure. So, we'll know once we talk to them, but um but they're very excited all the people. Yeah, they really are. So, I think it'll be good. Yeah, that's the
deal. Thank you. And we'll preview that that in the book along the calendar as much as you have in a month or so. Great. You want to check out the calendar yet? Going a little bit.
Uh, next up is review bills, but I do not have um I think I think John has time for us to to sign off. Okay. Okay. [Music]
Um recruitment as far as I know we know last meeting as of um I don't know if there's more recruitment going on I think the recruitment company will be
okay right they didn't have to go through anybody process also right committee is all right um and then now let me see so we talked about last week online I
think those are set up and as I was putting everybody's email addresses in it I got stopped at eight so I can only do eight email address unless we purchase um you know we like 120 a month I mean a
there or [Music] um but I was thinking I could make money and merit email and send it out was a sign on for everybody you know but the only thing that we really go on is to
volunteer for merch which just go Um, I actually I did that and I did sign up, but I can't do that now. I can email. Oh, you Okay. Um, I was trying to email
you. But yeah, sorry. What's the idea? It's like a little nice background. So, I will Yeah. And then I will take that kind of
Wednesday. Yeah. unfortunately, but I have to deal with the others. I think I think I move that. You need two people per um Yeah. I was going to bring somebody
just my daughter. Oh, do that. If you need an extra person, let me know and I'll come by. Okay. Okay. What's up? Is it John? Oh, okay. far. I don't I haven't done it myself, so I don't know too too much except trying to gauge the
information from John, but Emily just worked directly with John. Did they have like a table already? He I believe she didn't need one because she already had a table. Okay. I have a table or John doesn't. Okay. And you said they had a
Yes. So I have like the standalone. We can put it Oh, we didn't want to put a banner on front of the table. galler and it has the QR code on it. Okay. So that's here on the townhouse. So we can
work it um here until 6 hours until 6 other week and I could probably All [Music] right. Um, what else do I have? Well, this is just a random idea. We might
have talked about this a year ago. I don't know if we've talked about it since, but you mentioned you having a scavenger hunt in the in the houses. Yeah, but a small one. But have you thought about using a scavenger hunt as and have merch as final prizes to do it
as you pay whatever fundraiser you pay to sign up for a weekend scavenger hunt. [Music] And we were trying to do that scavenger hunt right around so June 16th is the actual
um trying to do it but that falls a little te so like a due date or something or something, right? And maybe at one of the events was like announcing. So yeah, we the details push initially
expressed interest in it. Um so ours is just when we walk through the house, it's not really not taken. No, it just it just reminded me and the fact this would be like under age 12 as well, you know. Yeah, this would be perfect. If you
one of the prizes could be the walk in the parade and stand Oh yeah. It's like a month after the round. If you did it for kids, you could do like characters and then they can dress up as the characters that they find
in the bra. [Music] Yeah, that's really I know. I know. There was one a couple years ago and there was a ton of people that did it. He just did it like through Facebook, but he did
that. It was Yeah. Well, no. We can understand because I'm just saying because I mean I know of Saturday [Music] look for and and if you're giving away
merch at the end of it or something like if you get to this point you're the one that finds the ad. If you get to this point you find the shirt or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Um [Music] one person was getting [Music]
[Music] Oh yeah. people. I remember that because one of the riddles I remember that it was just people made it to the second point when I first got on that was the
big thing. Yeah. No, these are good. They're good for kids. So, [Music] we don't know if she married this weekend. Then she should be free.
She'll be empty. Nothing to change. That's true. That'd be good. Um any any other new business? Yeah. Anything from online folks?
[Music] All right. If anyone has anything else, our next meeting right now is scheduled for July 16th. That's a problem. I apologize. But I didn't think
the committee the sub they help I mean I'm happy to [Music] I'm actually happy to help with the three of us. Okay. Sure. how to work on that.
Honestly, it might even be worth us trying if we can meet and figure out some things. It might be worth us doing like a trial that we give away one of our hats or I mean and just see just see the interest
around it. Yeah. Um and then that'll determine how much more we dedicate to it. That's a good idea. you know, just knowing that it's gonna probably less people down like that. But but as long as there's a decent amount of interest,
then you know, actually true. [Music] Facebook page. Yeah. [Music] Next week. All right. Other than that, I guess I'll take a motion to adjourn.
second vote on I and the online Joe Cunningham Jr. I and Joe Cunningham 3 I All right, I will hopefully see everyone July 16th.
