  • Summer Series
    • Ms. Cordisco provided four-square rules for the Summer Series event.
    • Ms. Swan reported that Chester County Dental Arts are interested in sponsoring the July 20th event for $300.00. They plan to distribute branded floss along with the popcorn. The group agreed to make popcorn even though there is no movie that night. Brandywine Hospital is also tentatively planning to sponsor the entire Summer Series (for $2000.00).
    • Midway Grill was interested but was unavailable for the June 15th date. For June 15th, a food cart will be there selling kid-appropriate foods. Big Boize BBQ will attend the July and August events to sell food. Ms. Swan will invite Midway to the July event as well, since it’s bigger.
    • The blue tooth speaker has arrived, Ms. Swan will make bubble solution, and check the balls to use for Four Square.
    • The fireworks contract from Schaefer Fireworks has been signed and deposit checks requested for the July 20th event.
    • Board members should plan to arrive for the June 15th event by 6pm.
  • Group trips
    • The group had a conversation to re-evaluate the purpose of hosting an Atlantic City beach trip without a casino package (it’s not economical for families, who would be paying $25 per person to go to the beach). Since the group is not very excited about planning and attending a casino trip, we agreed to look at our options for the fall/winter in New York instead. Ms. Swan will call and ask about play packages and on-your-own packages for December.
    • Mr. Klukan motioned to change the bus trip from Atlantic City in August to New York in December. Ms. McBride seconded. Vote passed 4-0.
• New Business
  • An Eagle Scout approached the Township about creating a Gaga Ball pit for his Eagle Scout project in Municipal Park. He’ll come in and present his project at a future Parks and Recreation meeting.
  • Ms. Swan reported that Andrew Henrichon, a student from Downingtown, will be helping with Caln Township events to fulfill his 40 hour graduation requirement.
• Adjournment
