FAMU homecoming. It was suggested by the Police Department that we begin our event later and go on until 6 p.m. We will have police available for our event.

Discussion about having a beer garden. Aurora is contacting Cone Distributors to see how they can help us with this. If we do have one it will be located at the Genevieve Randolph Park with a police officer. We will need bands and someone to check the id's. Spectators will not be able to walk around with beer- they have to stay in the beer garden.

Monroe St. will be closed due to the parade which is going to end around 11:30 a.m. or 12 noon. This means that we have to make sure that the vendors will have an opportunity to set up very early (6 a.m.) as the street will be closed for the parade. The line-up for the FAMU parade usually begins at 5:30 a.m.

As of Sunday we had 8 vendors, not seven for food. Got another food vendor this past Friday afternoon. Aurora Hansen has her check.

Tee-shirts were discussed and the design was voted upon. Aurora will send Nilubon the tee-shirt people who would like to bid on the printing of the shirts. We are getting 250 shirts which will not have the year on it so that it may be used anytime during the year. We had a discussion on the tee-shirt design and we agreed on the design by a show of hands. Sizes will be Youth large, adult medium, large and extra large. The adult small is the same size as the child large.

Volunteers- need a lot of volunteers for that day. Aurora asked Mrs. Norma English to be the Volunteer chairperson so that these volunteers can report to her directly.

Girl Scouts said that they were interested in the event. Aurora will follow up on it.

Joyce will assist in the Downtown Market on September 24 and will bring the table and chairs. Aurora will have more postcards printed.

October 1 is the next time ACT need volunteers for the Downtown Market

Membership dues are due.

Next Meeting will be held on September 25 at the same time to finalize planning of the event.
