1 - Santa Claus Parade report - Money available 5300.... raised?
Discussed possible use of parade funds to enhance the downtown re new
decorations and/or installation costs. Some of the excess parade money could
be used to pay for Dan, who installs the wreaths and for christmas light
installations (re Ian — cherry picker)
Santa Clause parade could be renamed "Orono Winter Festival" to allow for
a broader scope
of fund useage. Some of the excess funds from Parade donations, Button
sales, and Pancake Breakfast could be gifted to a local charity of choice each
year. This would also also for a larger event than just a parade.
