Old business

• Caln Pride Day Recap

Turnout was much better than last year. Approximately 40 people attended including multiple groups of scouts. Focusing on attracting groups seems to have worked well. ServPRO of Kennett Square sponsored a number of new plants, which is very much appreciated. The Cordiscos also donated a number of perennials. There is also some interest in doing another clean-up day in the fall, perhaps October. The group is receptive to this idea.

• Summer Series
  • Movie selection - The group discussed movie selection for the first Summer Series event. There was a lot of debate about which movie to choose – in the end, the group agreed to allow people to vote for their favorite on Facebook.
  • Other activities – The group agreed to do a bubble station (Mr. Klukan agreed to look into a bubble machine). Ms. Cordisco will run four-square (need to get a kick ball type ball and chalk, she will also find the rules to print out). Ms. Swan will make signs for four-square and the bubble station.
  • Music – Ms. Swan will buy a blue tooth speaker to use for the music.
  • Chester County Dental Arts may be interested in sponsoring the Summer Series.
  • Contract is signed with Chico’s Vibe and Fun Factory, waiting on a contract from Schaefer’s Fireworks.
  • Still trying to nail down food vendors – Midway Grill seems interested.
  • Ms. Swan will make sure that all the vendors for the July 20th event know about the rain date.
• Recreation Leagues – tabled since Mr. Detelus was not in attendance.
• Discounted tickets – tabled since Mr. Young was not in attendance.
• Group trips – Hagney tours have buses available for a variety of Saturdays in July and August. August 25 was the date picked by the group. At $25, we would need 40 people to sign up to break even.
• Basketball hoops – ordering all new basketball hoops for both Municipal and Dawkins Park.

New Business

• Pickleball – the group discussed adding pickleball lines to the tennis courts. Ms. Swan will follow up with the manager about making this happen.
• The group discussed fencing in a portion of the Lloyd Park dog park. Perhaps a veterinarian or pet store would be willing to sponsor an enclosure. Ms. Swan will get a price on fencing in a portion of the park.
