Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, November 18, 2013 Page 3 We had a magnificent harpist. It created a nice atmosphere. Lincoln at The Grove was a cold day. We had just come out of a miserable day. It tumed out being a very unique event. We had great participation. Dale from the Service Department is a Confederate re-enactor.' He wanted to be sure the Confederate side was represented. He came with all of his souvenirs that morning. We had the Soldier's and Sailor's Monument, the Mayfield Historical Society, the Cleveland Civil War Roundtable. It was a great event. The living historians were General and Mrs. Garfield and General Grant. Excluding what it cost from the Service Department, it was approximately $7,000. One of the items the Committee decided to do was solicit the community for tree sponsorship. That is really taking off. The more we promote this, the nicer it will become. We are in the process of saving a magnificent willow tree at the base of The Grove. There was some work done in late summer/early fall. Hopefully we will see some results in the Spring. We put out a donation jar. People were happy to put some money in. We made a lot of initial contacts with people. We have people we can go back to. More people have come and said they wanted to be a part of this. One big agenda item for our next meeting, as I mentioned, is a business plan and financial forecast. We will probably look for help to put it together. We hope to be able to have something as a guide for potential future activity. If you know of anyone who would like to participate, the Committee is open to everybody, certainly anybody with an interest in the arts or recreation, music, dance or drama. We can use all the help we can get. Thank you. You have copies of the presentation. There are a few extra lying around. We will be talking again soon. Council President Pro Tem Marrie complimented The Grove Committee. You all did an outstanding job in such a short time. Thank you. OPEN PORTION : , - 3-minute limit imposed by Cha.ir. Those who wish to speak must first state their name and address. Art Hood 6682 Seneca I have someone parking by my leaves on the front lawn. I have left them notes twice. I have called the police. The police said he is allowed to park there. It doesn't make sense.
