Lauren added her approval of Robbie Anderson as a generous <br />sponsor who provided a nice family-oriented presence to the events. Bill added that he liked the <br />food truck layout closest to the Senior Center sidewalk and thought that the bands sounded great; <br />they provided high value given the series budget. He asked if any of the bands brought in a loyal <br />following to their show, with James confirming that Blue Lunch and Cities & Coasts did appear <br />to attract their own fans. <br />June's low attendance came up, attributed to a combination of the Cavs playoff game and <br />Father's Dav. Annie confirmed that the June 2017 date is once again on Father's Day. Bill <br />suggested that a"kick-offl' type event be held to attract more attendees. Jackie suggested several <br />ideas, including a bad-tie contest or barbeque, with the latter getting unanimous support from the <br />group. The sub-committee will take these ideas into consideration for next year. James shared <br />that veteran musician Colin Dussault is tentatively booked for June 2017, with Laura later <br />confirming a price of $1,200 for the full band. Bill expressed his support for the booking, with <br />the full group concurring. Laura will confirm Colin and his band for the June concert at the <br />agreed price. <br />leTEW/ONGOING BUSINESS <br />North Olmsted Through the Years <br />Progress Update and Schedule <br />Lauren shared the work that she and James have been doing to create comparison videos using
