Jim Kadlec, a neighbor and DuPage Township board member, came to discuss the current status of the township’s disbursements. He talked about how the majority of donations, sponsorships and scholarships have mainly been going to Bolingbrook and Romeoville, and not Naperville. He was bringing this to our attention so we were aware of the situation and the funds available. In May, scholarships will be awarded.
Marybeth brought up how some members have been concerned with the increased fee for social events. All present agreed to lower the fee for the upcoming adult holiday party from $30 a couple, to $20. It was realized that this function is possibly not cost efficient for some when looking at the price to go, possible sweater, gift, food item, and childcare. Marybeth handed out the current budget, minus the holiday social events. The insurance bill has not been reflected either and will arrive soon. We have $2,000 more to spend by May 31.
Barb is still looking for a co-chair to help out with children’s socials. Kristen Gervase has offered to take over the Easter egg hunt and she will pick a date.
The plan is do a ladies’ social with an Oscar’s party theme in February. We have a few choices for hosts at this time (Ginny Lafferty, Sony Anand, Kim Maloney??) that will then choose a date. In March, there will be an adult social with either bowling or whirly ball as two top options.
Maureen plans to hold a meeting for all block captains to insure on time delivery of newsletters. She will also be asking a north captain to be a coordinator for the north. We will add more to landscaping in the spring, but what is yet to be determined.
Next meeting will be at Randa Siblik’s on April 10.
