Fourth of July Planning
Diana is in charge of trying to find a wagon for the 4th of July parade. She called a woman by
the last name of Scott but has not received a return phone call. Diana also called Rick at Action
Graphics about signs. The sign would be $6.00 per foot.
A re-cap from the last meeting was given. HRC had talked about marching in the parade with a
sign advertising the Historical Street Naming program and also having a horse drawn wagon to
carry Historical Street Name recipients. However, since a wagon has not been found and there is
little time left to prepare the committee decided it would be better to just put the effort into
planning a booth for Hometown Days.

Labor Day Planning
At the last meeting it was discussed to decorate a booth and have a birthday cake to celebrate the
170t11 Anniversary of Yorkville. They would also have brochures for the Historical Street
Naming program. This would all be as a kick-off to prepare and get people excited for the 175th
Anniversary and to obtain more nominations for the Street Naming program.
Glory has already reserved a booth for HRC at the Hometown Days Festival.
A special meeting will be set for July 12th at 6:00 p.m. to further plan for this event. This
meeting will be held at Panera Bread.
Old Business:
Visitor Center (review brochures)
A new brochure was received and approved unanimously.
Historical Street Names (review submitted nominees)
There were no new nominations to review.
Historical Street Name Brochure
Glory would like the committee to review the brochure for final approval and let her know if
there should be any additions, deletions, or other changes. Glory will have approximately 250-
300 brochures printed in time for the August meeting. The money for the brochures will come
from the Community Relations Budget.
The following changes were noted for Glory to correct:
1. Change the word"chairman" to "chairperson."
2. Remove the paragraph that says specifically when meetings are held. It should just
say that meetings are held monthly at City Hall.
3. The last two paragraphs should be combined.
4. Several other grammatical and format changes were made.
Additional Business:
Jeff suggested putting together a packet of volunteer opportunities in Yorkville. He thinks that
currently it is difficult to find volunteer opportunities because there is no list of contact
information to look to. More information and ideas will be collected and brought back to the next
regular meeting.
Silver Springs Outdoor Education Center left information regarding their fundraising efforts to
help keep the Education Center open. The committee feels that they are requesting far too large
of a donation for HRC to have any significant impact.
Adjournment:
A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m.
