a. April minutes approved —
b. Laurel Arbor Day May 4, 2021 Thomson Park "Stay Wild"
- Great day with lots of fun
- Croissant sandwiches were a bid hit with the students, thought many
brought cold lunches and we had 35 left over
- Two trees were planted —Brandon Elm one purchased through the
school account and one through the city account.
- A third tree ($200 value) wasn't used so there is credit at River Ridge
- Vendors were great, the students were so appreciative and no one
really wanted to leave.
- T-shirts. Several vendors and a few of the committee members wore
the shirts but about half didn't get worn that day. If we should order
shirts next year, we should set an expectation for their purpose.
- Dale has sent a thank you to Walmart and NEW, LuAnne will send a
thank you to the Fireman and the vendors received thank you gifts.
