owners). Marketing materials, advertising and t-shirts will be handled by J. Eckholm and R. Jenkins. L. Hopson
will reach out to the community for ideas and assistance for kid’s activities. L. Hopson and J. Eckholm will
research bounce houses. L. Hopson will email area retailers letting them know about the sidewalk sales and
about the basketball tournament. She will suggest that they keep youth in mind for this event and possibly add
food or activities in or around their space for youth. J. Eckholm and R. Jenkins will reach out to sponsors. There
will be no sponsorship package, but sponsors will be allowed to put their own signs up around the basketball
courts. A. Serio mentioned needing portable toilets, which would add, approximately, $450 to the proposed
budget. He also mentioned being able to supply 10x10 tents, trash can liners and coolers, if needed. Other board
members also volunteered to supply tents as needed. J. Eckholm will ask to have officers on site during the
