Editor's Note - I wish to thank a number of people who worked on the the 4th of July events. Thank you to : ~

*Nancy Fischer who organized the teen sip 'n dip on July~ and who also judged the bikes and wagons for the parade.

* The 4th of July Committee - Lynn Eisentrout. Linda Best, Cathy Moore and Kathy Rosati. Casey King attended planning meetings and drew up the flyer. Margo Washburn helped by sending letters to recruit parade participants. Without them the parade wouldn't have taken place.

* Dick Busick. Dave Blair. John Kinkela. and Jim Davis for setting up chairs for the concert. Thank you to Jim Martin for providing the sound system and the pool board for providing the refreshments .

*To the life guards and the Zagrzejewski's for organizing the pool games . Everyone looked like they had a good time.

* And to the neighbors who made the necessary arrangements for the Cobra helicopters. As one six-year-old said. "They were so neat!"

To all of the above. and to anyone I may have forgotten, thank you for a nice 4th of July.

MINERVA PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION

Activities Questionaire

Your civic association wants to get a response from our residents concerning the role you would like the civic association to fill . Take a few minute s to read the questions - then fill it out and return to the VILLAGER.

The civic association sponsers the annual garage sale and caroling at Christmas. It was one of the sponsers of the l ake clean up and contributed to the 4th of July events. A free concert series was organized for a summer event. How would you like to see these events handled in the future? (cancelled, changed, expanded, etc.)

Are there any other events that the civic association could sponser?

Would you come to c1v1c association meetings if there were speakers? What subjects would you be interested in?

Are you opposed to the c1v1c association taking political stands? ( i . e . tax levy on schools or for the village)

Do you have time to give to our community or is all your time consumed by job(s), caring for children and home , school and church activities?

The c1v1c association pays for the printing of the VILLAGER. Should this be continued? How can the VILLAGER be improved?

We would hope that you would take the time to think about the above questio~. As we start off a new year with new officers and board members, we need to know if the civic association is still needed in our community and what direction it should take.

Any additional comments: ------------------------------------------------
