Agenda

  1. Event Calendar for 2008

A tentative schedule of events for 2008 was set. Note that the schedule is subject to change should the event organizer have a
conflict. The possibility of combining events/event weekends was discussed. For example, it may make sense to run the chili cook-off
and the playgroup meet-and-greet on the Saturday and Sunday (respectively) of the same weekend as an enticement for residents to stay in town over the weekend and attend both events.

Also, a number of events still do not have event coordinators and may not happen if we are unable to find volunteers.

  • Stream Clean-up (April 5th or 12th; Date TBD)
    Coordinator to be confirmed

  • Townwide Yard Sale May 3rd (tentative)
    No coordinator yet.
  • 4th of July Party (July 4)
    Coordinator: Michelle Hermanson
  • Wine and Cheese (Date TBD)
    Coordinator TBD
    The group had discussion about potentially moving the wine and cheese party (which had been help in June in the part) to either earlier or
    later in the year, when the weather is cooler. As of now, there is no coordinator for this event, and the group agreed that the date is very
    flexible and the eventual event coordinator should have leeway in picking a date and potentially swapping months with a different event (Townwide Yard Sale, for example).
  • Arts in the Park (Date TBD)
    Coordinator TBD
    Potential to combine this event with the wine-and-cheese party
  • Playgroup Meet-and-Greet (September 14th or 21st, TBD)
    Coordinator to be confirmed
  • Chili Cook-off (September 13th or 20th, TBD)
    Coordinator: Sarah Heitkemper
  • Halloween Party (October 26th)
    Coordinator: Jenn Mooney
  • Town Tree Lighting (December 6th or 13th, TBD)
    Coordinator TBD
  • 2008 Budget
  • Initial budget for the year was unanimously approved. Potential additional items not currently in the budget include the
    costs of producing four reusable signs for UPCA events (signs would have UPCA logo and space to swap in information about any upcoming
    event). Shannon Sanford offered to investigate costs. We will also investigate the costs and storage options of one large or
    several small tents.

  • Other Business
  • The UPCA is currently operating without several officers, including president and vice president. While this is not unprecedented, the
    UPCA is actively seeking volunteers to fill these two positions.

  • Next Meeting
  • The next meeting of the UPCA is scheduled for Tuesday, February 26th, at 7 pm in the Riverdale Presbyterian Church.
