>> It was quick, simple, to the point, and easy. I was there for about five minutes and left. >> Um, >> by the way, all of you are welcome to join those committee report meetings >> because I see every other committee come with a bunch of people. But it's okay.
You guys are students. I understand. >> As long as you because task force, I did request to put us at the front of the meeting. >> So, we were literally right after the wings. just let them know next time.
>> Okay. >> But yeah, uh committee updates. I think we have a few spots open in the committee. I'm not really aware number right now. >> Are you spots? >> I think it's like two spots. >> Can we open the order of business? >> Give me one second. Yeah, we can right
after this. We have three. >> We might have No, >> we have two. >> Yeah, we have two spots in the community or two adult spots because we're not
limited on adults. >> We're limited on students up to seven students. So if you know anyone that's wants to apply, they are free to put in their application. I know we have a seat coming in. So >> okay. So it is
already seven. That's all we have. >> Yeah, we have Rob on that on that. >> Rob is not part of the count, but it's a 15 person committee, but 14 normal committee members. >> Cool. That's uh all the committee updates, I believe. Any questions
regarding anything going on right now? I don't think we have much. I think everything's been going smoothly for the committee member follow sunshine laws. If for those that are new, there is something called the sunshine statement. Very important. You can actually go to prison for it. >> Yeah.
>> Or do you not have detention? No. I >> you cannot speak on anything that could come up for a vote outside of this room >> unless it's to the right. Also, Robert's order. That's easy.

by saying I. I. I. F. Seeing no opposed motion passes. Anything else? Anyone else to add before we close again? Well, it is closed. We'll go to item >> 6A.
I know there was some concerns with community service hours, but I think Ernie, you had the most people go to you about it. So, I don't know if you want to talk more. >> Thank you first and foremost for remembering that. Hey, I appreciate it. So, uh, we, uh, it was brought to my attention by the town that we, uh, moving forward in
2026, particularly Easter and Halloween, we are no longer allowed to give out the excess excessive amount of hours. Uh what we are doing moving forward is if a
child is doing eight hours in an event and a couple of hours in one meeting and a couple of hours in another meeting, we are to give them exactly what they have that and that is not up for discussion and we were according to what was told to me, we're not allowed to even vote
on. >> Yeah. So it is what it is. So we're dropping we're dropping from 100 hours to about eight hours to >> exactly >> always have more meetings. >> You can dance you can dance around it. You can So if the if the child if you
did an 11 hour day >> uh and you include two hours per meeting which is a total of four. So you're looking at 15 hours. You can go >> 20. >> Yeah. >> Say goodbye to your volunteers. >> You can round it off. >> Be prepared for next Halloween guys. We're going to do all the work. Say goodbye to everyone here.
if there are ways to work around >> that increase with um like donations or something like that or different >> I got confirmed on that >> what
>> we could do the candy and costume >> I was but we could we'll double check >> we can always double check >> so So, so do I. I don't I not this this not to put a missing >> not to put a scare on anyone here,
>> but we not to take into consideration there aren't many events around town. There aren't many events in neighboring cities that are going to uh give uh double digit hours. Typically, uh
you'll get hours for a 4-hour event, a three-hour event. This is something that we're usually give double digits. anything double digits is a very good thing. I wouldn't necessarily say that we're going to have less uh volunteers because at the end of the
day they need vol they need hours no matter what. So they're going to get it any which way and if we happen to be the ones that give the most community service hours of any event in the town or neighboring cities they're going to come to me. So I wouldn't necessarily uh
worry too too much about it. It's going to suck because it was a drastic drop, a drastic change huge >> from what it was to what it's going to be and that sucks. But, you know, like I've told you guys before, there are certain things that are simply out of our control. And, you know, that's
that's all we can do. Okay. >> Do we know why this was brought about or who made the decision? >> There is a particular school, not going to mention any school names. There was a particular school that that uh brought it to the attention of of to my
attention and >> uh also also spoke directly to several supervisors >> uh and directors of the town and they were taken back by by it. They said, you know, how is it possible that you can
have a person a child work 11 hours and you're going to award them 100? And you know, I said my piece. I said I said what I thought was was you know considerable. Um they said no. Simple as that. And I even went I even cut it in
half and they said no. >> That's crazy. >> I even cut it into a quarter and they said no. >> So, you know, this is this is where we're at right now. And trust me, like I said, guys, and the the the students are going
to look for an event with the most amount of hours that they can get in an end event, and we happen to have two of them. >> With that being said, there are workarounds around that, more volunteer meetings. That's how we used to do it. That's how we kind of got away with
giving out so many hours was having more volunteer meetings that did that. At one point, we were meeting twice a week, like four weeks. Yeah, we close that one. >> We had eight meetings at one point before the event and we were giving out
$100. >> So, there are ways to get the hours up for these kids to get them to show up and there are things that we could figure out what to do with them and try to set up maybe decorations, create decorations or things like that. Just find something, >> get creative.
>> We'll have to figure it out. >> Same with Easter. But don't expect 100 volunteers anymore. >> Now we have to ask for 300 so we can number you're going to get like probably >> I think even with the eight meetings that might discourage some volunteers. >> Yeah. They don't have a time. >> They're not going to come. They're going
to be like all this. >> They're not going to come to I don't >> cuz it's already a lot of work the day of having adding >> kids get hours otherwise. They're not going to open. >> I mean what's the next event for >> 20? So I think if we kind of like brainstorm and then for the next meeting we can
talk about it more but I think right now at least like so off guard caught off guard that we don't from 100 to eight to eight or 10 hours or 15 hours and see >> these kids are practically starting their whole day is often >> yeah in the sun it's in the sun
>> they just find so one of one of the uh one of the things that they did bring up was the fact that that um they found it uh they found it unfair to the student that uh you have four years approximately four years to gain $100
for I think it what is it for bright teachers >> and that you could just gain it in one shot and they they you know that that kind of that kind of you know makes it ridiculous for the students in that sense I I in that sense I understand where they're coming from I do I really
do understand where they're coming from I also do understand where we're coming from we know that this is you know this event much like the Easter event it isn't your your, you know, your typical event. They do put a lot of hours into it. They do put a lot of heart and soul into it, but like I said, guys, it's
it's uh, you know, there are certain things that are out of our control. >> How many? >> No, we didn't get that much. >> I understand where they're coming from, but I just don't agree with it. 999.
I I do believe that if those hours >> and no if we would have cut those hours in half this past event would have been called >> I was going to say like do we have to go from 100 to eight >> I mean we also do it because I know some
schools for hours you have to submit like a form that that school has specifically and those are like the stingiest schools Like for all the schools that didn't complain, unless that would be fair, it would be different, but >> just understand that that our they know what our next they need uh to the next
big event is and they're going to they're going to we're under the microscope in that sense. So just open it up. >> Is there any way we could talk to anyone or is it like a done deal? >> It never hurts to talk. >> I'll talk to someone.
That's why I said that. >> Okay. >> Maybe we have that. >> But you could always add an extra meeting or two or something just, you know what I mean? Just to make it look a little more >> All right, cool. >> I think we're good there. >> Thanks for the sad news.
>> Move on. I already need a Christmas tree. >> We'll move on to Well, here we go. We're moving on. Try to make the holiday festival. >> And you can decorate it for with Christmas music. >> The Halloween or Halloween? The >> holiday >> because we're talking about Halloween after, but >> the holiday festival is on December 12th,
>> right? >> Saturday. >> Saturday. >> On the 13th. >> Yeah. So, why says December 12th? That's that's another thing. We have we have numerous events happening and that's why I want I was making sure that Brian was going to
bring that up. Uh there is no way around that. We have to do it not this weekend. The following weekend on Saturday >> the 12th not next weekend Saturday. >> It is the 20th of November.
>> Okay. When is this event? The 12th >> four. We have four Saturdays. Three Saturdays until the section. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Friday. >> Three weeks. >> The Friday is always right.
>> But it's on 12. Okay. >> I can make it surprise. Their flyer was sent out already, I think. Did we get it? I don't know where I saw it. Oh, the posted it. >> Yeah, December 12th. Friday time.
>> It starts at I think >> the the movie guys remember that that the the movie itself starts at 700 p.m. >> But we could start uh we could start with Santa 5. >> 5:30. I think 5:30 will be a good time. >> Food trucks will be there. >> All right. Young kids will be there.
>> Yeah. And uh so >> so right now I I um I had mentioned briefly to Brian that we do have um Twilight features, you know, to be to be uh playing our our movie. >> Uh we do have enough thumbs to D photo
booth. I already spoke to them. They said that they're in uh with the brothers, but I don't know. And so I wanted to see if you guys could go ahead and discuss what movie you want to play. We had >> also to talk about if we want to sell
popcorn like we did last year. >> We did sell popcorn last year. >> Yeah, we did. >> I think we sold >> the year before. >> Oh, no. Last year we wanted to do hot chocolate and it never worked. >> No, we're not doing >> way too hot to do hot chocolate.
>> It's night time. >> We're not doing either. >> Oh, yeah. >> I wonder why. We're not selling anything though, right? >> We haven't sold anything for the past two years on this event. And you also have to take into consideration. We have
food trucks here. >> Yeah. No, we're not going to compete. >> We could buy little pancake things to do them out if anything >> that we do most certainly have. >> Yeah, the ones that you just did. We did Did uh Oscar ever say anything about the lights that he wanted to do? >> I have to discuss with him. I haven't
haven't reached out yet. I will reach out to him uh tomorrow or next week. >> That's fine. >> Light this place. moves fast. So that that's not that's not an issue. We still have our our our >> We should buy a fake Christmas tree and decorate it. >> A >> we can reuse it every year. Do we even have fun with that?
>> 15 foot tall. >> Yeah, I guess. >> Wouldn't it be cute? >> Buy a big Christmas tree. >> The the kids make decorations like a >> ornament. You make a little ornament and decorate an ornament and put it on the tree. >> When I was like six years old, I did
this thing where I had an ornament on >> put it on the tree that we buy. hang my hand. >> No, we put it in. >> How are we insp >> What were the decorations that we did last year? The ones we bought. >> We have We have four popup trees. >> We have
lights. >> Big tree. >> Uh we have garlet. >> Um >> if I'm not mistaken, >> do we not have inflatables? So, >> we do have an inflatable that we were unfortunately unable to put up because it was too windy that evening, but we still have it.
>> We have a Santa. We have the We have Santa Claus ready >> on deck for that. >> Oh, no. We have two. We have Santa Claus, by the way. We don't need >> the Fernandezes have volunteers. >> You sure about that? Signed. That's signed.
>> I can tell Maddie to step back on that. No, no big deal. Uh just so you know, we do have remember we and we also have leftover for the uh ornaments. We had we had a a little um arts and crafts that didn't do so well with pavilion A that
we have to move a little closer. We got to get people to be around that area. >> We're not going to be doing anything in pavilion B. >> Pavilion B will will be where Santa's >> always move Santa to the side. Whatever you guys do is best,
>> but we do want to make sure that that that dip photo booth has um electricity. >> Yeah. >> So, >> is there a way that we can get another sandwich here? >> I would have to rent.
So, >> well, yeah, >> maybe a bench. I do like that idea, though. Maybe we could look into purchasing little like ornaments that you could actually like draw on with markers or something. that we could get an actual like big tree that we could hang ornaments on
and we could put it in >> what what I suggest is uh since town hall already has a tree that's already up um what mention me putting it inside Mary Collins would be a thing let me check first >> with the town and how they go about
wanting to have >> one of those facilities. >> What do you guys think about the >> Mr. for a ball as well. >> Have to purchase a tree >> that we could hang on at the event and then put that tree inside of Mary.
>> Okay. So, going back to the um to the another Santa chair. I feel like that might confuse the kids because they might think that there are two Santaas. >> No, it's a Santa. Mrs. Claus. >> Oh, okay. You don't think that the kids would want to keep their own ornaments?
>> They could take >> they make them. That's the thing. Yeah. They're going to want >> Yeah, they can have either take it home or put it on the tree >> or they could come pick it up after Christmas, right? >> We have We have a So, so you guys know, we have a budget of 6,800 if I'm not mistaken. >> And that is quite
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you have to take into consideration the company that does the the the the movie. They also add they also integrate Swank, which is the people who do the movie rights. That's an additional cost. >> So, yeah. So, >> either way, you're looking at about
$3,300 with two companies. >> We have to figure out what movie we're playing tonight. >> That is very important. I already have that company locked in. They're just waiting on us to figure out what >> do you have list? >> I do. Nightmare Nightmare
Before Christmas. >> I'm going to go ahead and read read the list. This is what they have available. It's Elf. >> The Polar Express. >> We have Elf. We have the Polar Express. The Grinch animated.

Once Upon a Christmas. Oh, >> they told us Christmas, Beauty and the Beast. >> Holiday celebration, Mickey Mouse and Pals >> and Princess. >> That's a rated army.
>> There's no way. >> That's on. So >> I think we >> the other the other one is definitely not not for it's called the holdover sex terrorizing a unanimous consent here of what the committee wants.
Oh, I thought we were going to Brian did have a Madagascar. >> You know that you can have several movies played >> the whole >> uh simply because of time >> the short movie. >> If it's a 30-minute movie, you can definitely put in like >> that. I like
>> How long is Mary Madagascar? >> 30 minutes. >> And then we could play the the Disney ones, too. >> Now, keep in mind, guys, that sounds like an like a really cool idea. Just keep in mind that also there may be people >> who want to do the one and done and we may end up having people leave. That's
that's the >> calling us a short movie marathon. You don't you don't have to put it as long. You say short movies short movie marathon. >> Shrek >> then Kramp is right after 30 minutes and leave. That's crazy. >> You could do a Shrek. You could do a
Shrek one. You could do the the Madagascar one. The Disney ones are not long either. You just have to play all of them. >> How much time is it? Three an hour and a half. >> Two hours. >> We're schedu
four of them. >> A little four. >> We just need to make it clear that it's like multiple movies. >> I think that'd be cool though. I'm going to put a large letter short. You can put double feature movie >> double feature movie >> 30 minutes each.
>> Yeah. Well, not even not even that. If it's a double feature and they know that the the we could put that the time begins at 7:00 p.m. and ends at 9. I think they'll know that between those two, you know, within those two hours. >> It's not a double feature. It's a feature. >> Oh, yeah. You're right. >> Yeah. Because if you throw on them the
Disney movies that are also like 30 minutes. >> How many How many are you looking? >> Four hours. Two hours. Watch the Shrek Christmas one is 30 minutes. The Madagascar one is >> 30 minutes. It's an hour and then the two >> Mickey the Mickey ones. >> What were the Disney ones? >> Merry Christmas. >> Universal
Mickey's Once Upon Christmas like 30 minutes >> an hour 10 minutes movie because they have three movies in one movie >> for the rights of the movies because we have to like pay for that too. We have to pay more if we play multiple movies
>> more than likely. But but you have to >> it's not that much. >> Alexa, remember, you know, if it's a 30 minute movie versus a an hour and a half movie, you're probably gonna pay more on an hour and a half. >> So if you probably put two 30 minute movie, it'll probably end up costing the the price for one. >> Okay.
>> The Once Upon a What's the other Disney one? >> Once Upon a Christmas. >> No, it can't be Once Upon a Christmas cuz that one's an hour 10 minutes long. >> Twice Upon Christmas, right? I can always >> for Christmas.
children. >> We can do the Mickey one that has three in it. The last one could be the hour. >> We still do one >> cuz it still fits in those flowers. >> Or we can do that anyway. >> Mary Madagascar and the Mickey one >> that has three in it already. So that's like six. Yeah.
>> Yeah, >> that works. >> How long is that one? Is that an hour? >> The Mickey one is an hour. >> Yeah. Two and a half hours. So >> we want to vote. Do we need to take >> They do. They take it out. >> We can do an intermission.

>> That's it. We're not doing any decorating of that one. >> We're not, >> like I said, pavilion A. When we decorated, it didn't really pan out because they were so far away from Pavilion B and the movie itself there weren't a lot of people doing a lot of the a lot of the crafts.
>> So, you might want to consider doing everything over in B or >> everything in B. Yeah. >> But what are we doing in B is my question. Are we doing decorating of anything, guys? Or are we just >> Isn't where they do Santa
>> next year? >> They're going to take pictures with Santa. We decorate the tree. >> We're not doing the tree. >> Well, we were going to use the pavilion. >> If we just do the tree for >> How about doing like a paper decoration? Something cheap.
>> All right. The total The total for And I'm going to read off real quick what it is. It's uh it's a uh you're talking about these the screen, the projector, uh the console, two texts that are going to be there, speakers, generator, and the movie license, which is already
included. It's a total of $2,654. We have >> $6,800. >> We have four No, >> we have $6,000. >> I'm not mistaken. I see. >> We have $4,000.
We can get we can get >> that can't go to some other event like Springfield. >> Oh >> yeah, but we want to make we want to ramp up our >> You want some money? I'll spend some money. >> We could buy some more. >> We could also do that. The inflatables
aren't that expensive. We could buy a few more inflatables, have them around the club. thought, have we thought about maybe instead of having to rent a screen every time we have this event, just buying a screen? >> Didn't we talk about >> that's the problem is is the rights for
the movie cuz the the that that all comes as a package. >> You don't you don't remember that that the that movie that company is in cahoots with Swank, but they've always had that for for for the end of time. You don't necessarily have to have one
to get the other. >> And you need a high quality projector. >> We'll buy one. I think we got so much money. We might as well invest one year. So then, you know, >> Exactly. We have this much like money left over. We >> get to it. You also have to look at the price of these screens. We've looked at
it before. They're that cheap and they they they look great. They But they're actually a lot smaller than you think. But the thing is that like every year you're spending this amount of money on a screen, >> but you also have to remember maintaining it. >> Yeah. Where you going to store it, if it
breaks down to repair it in case somebody comes up, puts it up, take with good speakers, we need good audio. A good audio system. >> It's a lot that goes into it. I I agree. I don't think it's worth. I think let somebody do it and >> with the microphone with everything. I think we should just
>> We're going to buy a very high tech >> speaker system to play throughout the whole party. >> Like the more we invest into like we could also use it for other events as well. >> I would love it for like display to ask the office for for the screen
>> which didn't work this year but >> it wasn't why we should have >> the screen. So that's the that's the point of the screen, not buying one. The screen >> they own that screen. They do their events with that screen. That never works. >> That's why I would say not buying a
screen. >> It wasn't to actually pay someone to bring it. >> It wasn't. >> It was the HDMI cable that Effects supplied. >> What's your two cents? Do you think we can buy one or no? >> Look, >> what's your opinion? >> All right. You have to take into
consideration where I where I used to work at and they had their own. It paid itself within three years. >> That's all I'm gonna >> There's a yeses. >> If we buy it too, it is owned by the town, but every other committee can use
it. >> What? >> It's under our committee. >> Wait, we would buy it with our committee money. What? >> Bring it up for >> We can talk. This is a real >> if you want to give >> $300 to >> like they're not gonna take it 100% like
they have in case you guys want to give it to them. >> Got it. >> How many food trucks? I'm sorry. >> We have a lot >> for for this event. Rob, we're looking at between six and eight. Right.
>> I I'm sorry about any of your meeting, but you know, I've been around and whatever and I've seen where and how property that belongs to the committees is stored. >> Everybody is into other committees stuff
>> and it's a freeforall and when it disappears, you have no idea who's got it, >> what kind of care, how safe it is. So whatever you plan on buying, >> you can >> how it's going to be stored and where
needs to be considered. >> And by the way, storage for this, it's not a small thing. >> It's a huge thing. >> Big store. >> The projector, you have to store everything >> because where it's stored. >> When you're done, you put in a certain place, but now five other committees
come through. They're moving it. They're touching it. They're dropping it. They're breaking it. >> That's what happens in the back of the room. Luckily, now with our new radios, but our last radios were destroyed. >> Is it possible to like ask the town to
invest in one of the committees to use or >> No, >> we could buy a light tower. >> A youth activity task force light tower. >> I'd rather invest in a light tower.
I mean, but we use this room for everything. >> But no, I'm just I'm just being realistic here. >> Are we going to vote? >> We're going to vote if you guys want to vote for it. >> I'm going to have to sign with with him on this. I think it's >> I'm going to be honest with you. Are you gonna The thing is, here's the problem. I can tell you there's going to be over
$10,000. The reason for that is the sound system. Good audio. Unless you want to buy speakers and every movie is going to sound horrible. As someone that has worked with sound systems and projectors and things like that, it projectors are over like $2,000
for a good projector. >> Do you have somewhere we're going to be able to store this if we buy it? All the stuff, the speakers, the thing, everything >> where >> the warehouse that everybody will move. >> Is it for them? >> Everybody goes
>> guys for a vote, man. Is this >> First and foremost, we have to look. We have to look at I'm sorry. Look at the price. First and foremost, >> can you shop around for and see and tell us like next meeting tell us how much it cost? Cuz I think it's too short notice right now. Made this decision. >> No, we're not going to make the
decision. >> No, it's to be thought out. This is to be thought through. >> So, if you can get us some prices on what it cost plus the speakers, plus all that. >> Another consideration is to maybe have uh so that way no one's held accountable. maybe come uh come to terms
with uh other committees and see if they want to u put in a couple of dollars for the uh for the uh projector that way belongs that way belongs to everybody. >> But that's where we get into the part of people don't take care of stuff. >> Yeah. >> And when it's through so many hands >> and there more hands in the pot they
break. >> I feel like if they invest in like they'd be a little bit more >> that's exactly what my father >> knows what he's talking about. It doesn't always work that way. >> Yeah. >> As we've seen in the past,
>> some people are good with stuff, but then you have other people that don't care. >> Have any of you seen the storage closets? I'm sorry for button. That is such a touchy subject with me. It's like stay out of my stuff and nobody >> nobody
you can get numbers for us >> and then they can they want to buy. >> You're right. >> Okay. But for this festival again I'm ask my question. What are we doing other than the movie? What are we going to do now? Do we want to spend all that money? Do we want to be there?
>> There are going to be food trucks. >> Sell anything? >> No. So that's why I said they can also where us do something was do the the buy a fake tree and do the ornament decorating with the kids >> and we can they can even take the the
ornament with them after the event if they wanted to or we could decorate >> and you said earlier we're going to put that tree in the mercy columns when we're done with it. We could have it there. >> Okay. So those are the right what is it called? Mary Collins.
>> Oh, Mary Collins. >> I'm telling you. >> Tree decorations. Come on. And inflatables. That's what we're going to That's what we're going to do. >> So, you want to you you guys This is for a vote. A vote or no? >> We need to talk about it. That's what
we're talking about right now. >> Okay. >> Who wants to put up a tree and decoration? Well, the tree is going to cost a fake tree is going to cost us how much? >> It depends on how much what you're looking at. You have a cheapy patter, you have a good quality, >> it can cost you somewhere between $150 and $500.
>> How are we going to move it to Mary Pollins if it's going to be outside >> and then who's going to take it right back? >> So here's No. So here's the thing. If you set it inside the building, >> it makes no sense to bring it outside. So we'll bring it back in. >> The point is to take it out first. >> Yeah. set it outside and then
>> I'm going to take it to the building after the event. >> The whole point was >> keep it outside for the event and then put it into the building. >> Yeah. Keep it outside. Have people decorate it >> and then bring it in and put it up.
>> Okay. >> It's like an interactive type of thing with the kids >> with the kids >> and they can put up their little ornament. >> So then maybe consider not going so expensive. >> Go crazy. We could do two little trees if I don't. >> Okay. >> So, one tree, a cheapy tree. What? $200,
$300 tree. >> 160. Home Depot or like where are we getting this? >> Home Depot. >> Home Depot or Walmart. >> Okay. So, a tree. Let's say $200 for a tree. And then decoration. Decoration. >> We could get pre-lit. If you get a pre
>> Oh, yeah. Pre-lit. >> It'll help. >> Prelit. 100% prelit. Okay. >> Uh we could always look into getting uh um decorated garlands. So basically all you do is just wrap wrap that garland around the tree and you save yourself time and you see yourself with money
decorations and stuff like that. >> Just a star. >> I can be it. >> You're not what we and we need to break the tree. >> The kids are going to decorate the ornament balls. That's what we said.
That is that what we want? >> Well, we have some more type of decoration. >> I think we should do that color and then cut out. >> Maybe what? >> It's going to be inside. Take it back
inside. It's going to be inside. Mary was supposed >> I think paper would be >> and they can like color it. >> Yeah. At the end of the day >> and you have to get a box I have to
store it. Um what else? And then do we want to do inflatables? >> Like I said we have the inflatable. We we tried putting in a box here to see if it's going to was not successful. >> Let's get a 50ft sound. >> They're the cutest one. >> And bingo inflatable at Costco.
>> We got a little inflatable. >> $300. I think >> I know. I can >> I wanted I wanted to buy it for my house. >> Inflatables at home. >> If you want to donate them, go for it, man. >> Um, >> but are we are these incredibles just we're going to use one time for this
event and that's it? >> Once a year. >> Once a year. be mindful of the money. Let's be mindful of what we have coming up the spring. So, how much? Okay, so maybe we should start out with how much money do we want to move to use for spring.
>> Oh, remember that's how we can budget what we need at first, then we can move. Yeah, we have >> we already >> How much can we spring? >> Let's wait until afterward. That's why
>> you see this >> I mean because if we had we have $4,000 extra we could go big if we want to >> but it would be some but we can't do anything like big like other cities do we're not doing decorating park we're not decorating the park we don't need to do anything crazy
>> we're not decor and we can't leave anything out >> no we can't allow us no >> remember that the pavilians get rent it out on a on a weekend basis. >> Yeah. >> We can't have it. It's just going to open. It's you know, everybody's going to cry. So our fault for leaving it out. >> Yeah.
>> So I'm okay with if the committee wants to vote on buying a tree that we can decorate with the kids and if they want they can take their little ornament after or whatever it is ornament. >> So somebody has to put it up for a vote. I motion to buy a big tree for the
holiday festival. >> I second. >> Motion second. Any discussion? I see a giant Santa on the tree. Wow. >> Telling you 50 foot. Okay. A motion in a second. Any discussion for the tree? >> And this I'm going to also another
motion to add the decor or the arts and craft decorations to it. >> The supplies in a second. >> Any discussion? >> Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying I. I. Any opposed?
in motion passes. >> Do we have to uh Alexa just sent the link so we can look at it? Ernie, the for like little decorations decorations and everything >> for Amazon. >> Yeah, >> perfect.

>> Okay. So, I'm going to give my recommendation, >> guys. I'm going to give a recommendation. >> I would just do elf hats or Santa hats because we need to show our committee and >> committee. Maybe a few of us. >> It's a nice It's a It's definitely a
nice idea and I I'm not opposed to it. I think it's cool. But if if you're not in like Sto is when she purch where she purchased the the entire outfit. I mean what Brian said you can purchase hats too. I guess >> I will wear a set of
>> so we can you know >> is there is there anyone here that wants to join solo? Let me know. Bought it already. >> Yeah. >> I already I follow instructions. >> I'm too tall to know. right now. Let me see if I bought it a month ago.
Let me see. >> All right, cool. So, think we're good with It's 8:00. So, >> yeah, please. >> Anything else on holiday festival? >> Are we good? >> Yes. >> We'll talk to Oscar. Everybody hats and
elf ears. >> Elf costumes. How many do we purchase? >> Not me. My own costumes and stuff. >> My own Santa hat that fits my head. >> So, I'll do three. Three. Okay. >> Three hats.
>> Three. >> I'll do three. We have a budget, guys. >> You can't take these. >> You want me to get far away? >> Three. >> 530. Okay. 5:30 to what? I'll just put it. >> Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Just the Easter Bunny costume.
That's not >> I don't want to take that Easter bunny. >> Can we burn the Easter bunny? >> No. >> No. >> The Easter Bunny on vacation. >> Yeah. >> Cool. I think we're good on the holiday festival stuff. We move on to the last
item, which is Halloween, the update. >> Uh we'll go around the room if we want, but I'll start. I think it was a huge success. We had candy till the end of the event this year because they actually passed it out correctly. Although we did have some rain, we had a good turnout. We did end a little bit
earlier because of the rain, but overall great turnout. I think the council was happy with the event. The ones that were there at least my milkshake. >> And thank you guys, everyone that was there. >> It was awesome. You guys did a great job. The volunteers did a great job. I don't think we had many issues with the
volunteers except at one point in the haunted house where I made them all go into the haunted house. Yeah, >> they were complaining that it wasn't fair though. One had one more session and the other go. You know what? Everyone in the haunted house 50 of them at the haunted house. >> So
yeah, I can't return it. >> A huge shout out to to all all of you that were that were a part of it from >> and a really really big shout out to your brother. >> That kid is a superstar. >> Wrong kid. >> It was Christian.
Oh my brother haircut. Christian was the one that was managing all of the runners when I ended up. >> Oh yeah, I know. He was good. >> Your brother, your brother, your brother, Vicki, your brother wasn't really on. >> He was not He was not necessarily a
volunteer, but he showed up anyway and he did a lot. >> Yeah, >> he was he was in the he was in the haunted house with Angie if I'm not mistaken >> and there was someone else there. I forgot who else. and >> listen. Yeah, please. >> Yeah, he's a pretty good haunted house. >> Tell your brother that he did a
phenomenal job. >> Give him some credit where credit is. >> Danny Ernie says, "Thank you for helping out the haunted house." >> But yeah, everybody did a funny job. And >> also, thank you to public safety. Public safety was there. >> Yeah. >> You were Brian.
>> Did I just say that? I felt like I was doing absolutely nothing at the stage. >> I feel like, you know, I feel like the stage stole the show. that for next year >> maybe let's not do a costume parade. >> Yeah, I know. That was
>> I was so embarrassed. >> Me and Angie were so focused on >> another method >> of showing off people's costumes. I think people were too focused on like the trick-or-treating. >> We did the parade thing this year. >> It didn't work out. >> It was terrible. >> It was so embarrassing.
>> The Here's the thing. The problem I think it would be better to do a costume contest if we had one entrance and one exit to the stage with one entrance only. It's almost impossible. >> That's all they have though. That stage only has one stage right in front of >> the stage. That's all. >> You know what I'm talking about? The
little pop-up stages right in front of >> se several years back I was one of the I was one of the the what do you call this that they do the >> judges. thinking along with Tony. And
the way they did it was they set a table in front of the stage and they brought one, >> we did the, you know, we did the jelly next brought the other one, we did the judgy and then we went to work. >> That worked. That used to work when we didn't have as many people in the costume process nowadays. It's
>> it's a lot. >> A lot. I think it's too much. >> Maybe then maybe enter them on on event. >> Yeah. >> And by >> and yeah, only three. >> Yeah. But no, you you missed out. I'm sorry. >> How can we verify though? That's what
the stage will do. Like verify them. >> Verify something to do cuz I know that a big thing. >> Yeah. Like scan your ticket or something. >> There you go. That's the only time that we'll ever need to scan a ticket will be for the for the judge for the uh the cy and we can look into maybe doing gift
cards >> as a as an inind not to purchase but as an ink kind. >> Okay, >> that's an idea. >> Um >> well, yeah. Any other? >> I have a lot. Um, >> no problem. >> So, first my biggest biggest thing, your
mind does not work. >> Your mind does not work. I strongly strongly strongly >> What does Oh, >> I strongly strongly strongly >> believe that we should have a WhatsApp group channel. >> Uh, no.
>> And the reason I say no is because parents were in that Remind chat. And if parents get into this WhatsApp, we cannot have that with students. >> Why not? Parents and students do not mix. >> Are they going to get in? >> Well, there's so there's a setting on WhatsApp WhatsApp.
>> If I'm being honest with you, then it I'm not going to look at a million messages. >> I'm down to there's >> that. I think that's too much with people talking back and forth and >> but if I may, what why did you want why do you want to do this? >> Okay. So for one, there was a lot of times where I'm trying to contact the
volunteers and one the remind was just not working >> and I wasn't able to actually be an admin so I could send messages. So a lot of times I was either going to Alexa, going to Sodo, going anyone else to send messages >> and a lot of volunteers just didn't know what they were doing and I was just like
also the Wi-Fi and don't really work together with that works where >> with or without >> with or without you guys. is also not going to give out my personal phone number to >> No, but it is okay to do it. Let her know. >> I would not do that if I were you. I've done that in the past and it was not a good idea.
>> I've done it in the past like >> um I know at Pace they have an alternate for it cuz originally they use Remind and like with SJ and stuff we talked about having a WhatsApp. Um but there's an app called groom me and it connects
directly for example you can have your admin status whatever you can also mention people so it like pretty much sends them direct >> I'd rather do group me than WhatsApp >> and you can everything I think you can have certain people are
allowed to >> believe does it work with Wi-Fi server was during the kidney state >> and it doesn't give way like any of your
like I have it on my face. >> Yeah. And shows up it'll only give them your name. It doesn't give your email or any rather group. You know what we should do? We should make a group >> because I think you could also set it that only certain people could speak in
the group. Right. >> If you could do that, we could just make one with a million volunteers and just have it updates for different events. people want to join a group >> that's I forgot about group >> other stuff
>> I also had that we should have more tape zip ties caution tape spider webs because there was a lot of the >> um tablecloths Gatorade. So there was a lot of like volunteers who were not necessar
Gatorade and it was even before the event. >> We have way more Gatorade. We have >> I think we ran out. I could be wrong about that. >> We ran out before if I may. >> We have more cases remaining. But we have plenty.
>> But he came to me to ask me for it. >> Oh, we have five cases of water remaining. >> Wow. And we have two 54 uh 54 bags of potato chips. Two of them. So we have 108 that nobody can ask for.
>> Well, let's save those for spring. Sure. The holiday festival for the committee. >> Yeah. >> I think also we need to start taping turking earlier. earlier. >> Um, and then also I don't
>> a lot of the time like in between the whole event it was just wanted to join anything es especially when we were tarping. Mhm. >> So maybe for for them to get there a little bit later, like an hour or two later, just so that gives us more time and that gives them more time as well.
But then again, I know something with the hours. So that was just an idea that had >> prior. >> Um and then I had also we didn't have enough chairs and tables um >> cuz they were being used by other the other rooms and stuff like that. >> And also is that no other event is going on that
same day, which I know is hard because you know they booked that and all that. Can we please make sure that when we use the community center, we could have the community center for that now >> just for us. >> I know it's a little hard. Yeah, >> but maybe we could work away with the times. >> So maybe have events end.
>> Remember that if it's if the event falls on a Saturday, >> uh it's going to be extremely difficult for us to get any kind of any kind of of of room. And we're very lucky inside the facility. You have two classes
um that are currently happening there and they they're between 11 and >> they can't be rescheduled for another time just for a day anymore. >> No, because they they pay for it. It's between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. And then there's another one from 12:00 a.m. per day.
>> From 12 to to 4. >> Do they pay per day? >> Per weekend. >> Okay. So, why can't we just cancel one of those weeks and say no is not open? >> Brian, you can't. I think next week >> it's a contract. That's what they do. I >> think next year we won't have that
problem since I don't think we're doing Saturday again. I think we're doing the Friday. No, it's on Saturday. >> It's on the side. Okay, never mind. >> It's Halloween this year. >> This next room. >> Yay. >> So, this is this is what I So, okay. So, this is what I propose. What I propose is before the new year,
uh, and by new year, I'm talking about the new year for the Halloween event. If we can if we can get together on the first uh on our very first um meeting for the month of January to give out dates. I can lock in dates
nine months in advance. >> Well, remember no. Our fiscal year starts in October. >> No, no, no. I'm not talking about fiscal year. No, no, no. I'm talking about our our very first meeting of 2026. So, it's going to be the fourth week of January. that on on that meeting to to make sure that we put it in the agenda to talk
about the dates to lock in dates. If we lock in these dates, no one can touch it because we got there before they did, >> including volunteer meetings. >> I mean, volunteer meetings are usually done week nights. Uh that's going to be more difficult because they there are
ballet and jazz programming. There is karate that is year round. >> You can't help that. I don't think we had much of a problem at least from what I saw with like volunteer dates. >> I thought we used the the building fairly well. >> Yeah, I think it was just >> day of day.
>> Yeah, we'll lock it in. >> We should definitely lock in stuff in there in the day of >> We should definitely lock in the dates and that way we avoid anybody taking over on that particular Saturday. >> What I can tell you right now, Halloween day, it's a Saturday. Halloween is on a
Saturday. Here we go. It's going to be packed. >> Yeah. No one goes straight. >> Every time we've done it on Halloween, it's been the most successful Halloween event we've ever had with volunteers. >> Okay, that's
>> I'm sure. >> We did talk about doing, by the way, we did have I did talk to a few council members on doing a trunk retreat next year. >> What they say? They're in. >> Oh, really? Didn't they tell us? >> No, they are working on getting rid of that open about the waivers.
>> Oh, >> they're not happy with some of the stuff happening. >> The school do trunk or treats. The school do trunk or treats. I'm sure we could do trunk or treats. And if we're one buying the candy, what's the big deal? >> We think that was the whole thing. You have to be the one buying it. >> Yeah. And let them just pay the fee to
to decorate their curry. Yeah. >> You pay the fee. We buy the candy without >> Exactly. We buy the candy with the fee and that's it. and liability gone. >> Did I discuss the idea that I had for for the um >> the sponsors? >> No, but you said that you would want to
talk about it after >> after what right now. >> Talk about it. Yeah. What is >> Would you like to hear it? >> So, here is here is my idea. Uh now my idea is instead of looking for title sponsors, I
can go and speak to light effects and I can ask them if they would be willing to be the title sponsor by deducting5 or $6,000 from what they originally uh uh you know price us at and they will
end up being their title sponsors. Now, every single company, every single business, every single organization that wants to have a tent at our at our um our events, >> we charge them $250 if that's I don't know if that's exactly what I had
