A communication received from Bonnie Skaar listed the bands for the 2009 Concerts in the Park and stated that FLPO could have first choice in selecting the evening to sell concessions. The Board selected the August 7, 2009 date when Steve Young, a German band, will be playing. We will serve bratwurst, hot dogs and soft drinks. The only recommendation for naming the July 18, 2009 fund raiser was received from Doris Curley. The Board liked her suggestion and the event will be called “Round Robin on the Lake”. Some details for the” Round Robin on the Lake” have been finalized. There will be a scavenger hunt from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The winning raffle tickets will be drawn at 7:30 p.m. Tim reported that he had heard that Christine Winkelman will run children’s games at Hayes Resort. Three generous property owners, Kurt & Jeannette Steinke, Louis Leizinger and an anonymous donor will support a meat raffle as one of the fund raising raffles. Linda made a motion seconded by Doris to sell meat raffle tickets at a cost of $5.00 per ticket or three for $10.00 with a first prize of $150.00 and a second prize of $100.00 in certificates from Brandon Meats and that three tickets be included in the June mailing, just as with the money raffle. All in favor motion carried. Linda made a motion seconded by Tim to provide a $25.00 gift certificate for Brandon Meats for the individual who sells the most meat raffle tickets. A second “electronics raffle” was discussed as a possibility to include a portable DVD player, an IPOD and a stereo music system with an IPOD dock. Tim and John will investigate the cost of offering these items on a raffle and report back in April. Donations to support such a raffle are needed or FLPO may purchase these with available funds. Linda indicated that she will get out confirming letters to those persons volunteering their homes for the Parade of Homes on June 20th and to Fish n’ Fun for the lunch. Lou will take reservations for this event.
