EARTH DAY FAIR 1970/1990
The majority of the meeting centered on preparations for the Earth Day
Fair. Many residents attended who were prepared to volunteer where ever they
were needed. Sandy Feldman and Michael Scheffler, co-chairpersons of the
event, ran through the schedule of activities and stressed upon areas which
where in need of fine-tuning. Some of which were: publicity, the
40 arrangements for a key note speaker, refreshments, site planning, and
financing.
CAC MINUTES 4/12-90
Publicity was addressed by Charles Bernstein who said that he and Herbert
1110 Calman had distributed flyers in establishments along Mamaroneck Avenue and
that they have planned to cover more areas during the week. Kevin Ryan
suggested giving copies of the flyers to the volunteers present in order to
assure that all possible areas are saturated.
Kevin Ryan agreed to announce the key note speaker at the opening
ceremony. Sandy Feldman produced a map of the Larchmont Reservoir and site
planning was then discussed in length. Activities were tentatively assigned
areas. Claudia Ng mentioned that the possibility of a dance show had
diminished because the head of the dance troop had inspected the grounds of
the Reservoir and had not found an area which would be appropriate for the
type of show she planned to preform. The discussion then turned to the topic
of refreshments. Kevin Ryan said that he had investigated several
possibilities which had not turned out to be fruitful. Michael Scheffler
asked the volunteers as to whether they had any suggestions and Ms. Scragg
offered some suggestions and her time.
Financing of the event was then discussed and Mr. Briganti, a volunteer
resident, suggested asking the Kwanis Clubs and VfW's in the areas to
contribute. All agreed that this was a excellent idea. Mr. Briganti was
then recruited to go to these establishments and ask for contributions.
Actual costs of the events and supplies were detailed by Ms. Ng so all would
know approximately how much would need to be contributed. Other incidentals
were mentioned and their remedies agreed upon.
The hour had become late therefore, the remaining agenda items were
tabled until next meeting.
