arrival. Mr. Schnulle indicated that if anyone knew of any World War 11 Veterans, they
should urge them to go on this trip. Mr. Sandor indicated that World War 11 Veterans
were preferred but any terminally ill Veterans from any conflict would get priority and
bumped up on the list.
I Other Business.
1) Mr. Schmidt reiterated his feeling about brick pavers not being put into the ground
where people would be walking. Mr. Millikan indicated that the plan shows the brick
pavers would only be placed around the outer edge of the park where people would not
be walking. Mr. Sandor asked if a brick paver fundraising plan had yet been established
and Mr. Millikan presented a brochure from the Riverfront Plan showing how different
items were priced for fundraising purposes -- $50 for a brick; $250 for a tree; $500 for a
bench or a light. Mr. Millikan indicated that he would talk to Ms. Murphy and/or Ms.
Olafson about putting together a similar brochure for the Veterans Memorial Park
Committee for fundraising purposes.
2) Mr. Schnulle wondered if the Library would do something in conjunction with the
opening of the park such as running of the DVD showing interviews taken of Elgin
Veterans recorded at the Elgin Academy (the same video that has been sent to the Library
of Congress) to run continuously.
3) Mr. Dunne wondered if the luncheon held after the opening ceremony of the park
could be held at the Library rather than at the Hemmens since it is so much closer to the
park but the Library does not have facilities for food so that would probably not be
possible.
4) The Committee members agreed to hold a special meeting on Wednesday, July 30,
2008, to give the Committee members an opportunity to meet with Hitchcock and hold a
question and answer period regarding the design, construction, etc.
