If you could print a few copies off that would be great. Sorry for the lateness',and inconvenience.' Thanks! Zach 4/23/2009 Carnival Proposal Goals: Provide a welcoming, enjoyable atmosprere for K-7 youth. The Plan: Utilize Lower City Park, providing food a~d games to kids to create a sense of community. The food menu could incline hotdogs, burgers, ice cream and assorted fruits and vegetables. Parents could be encouraged to bring dishes of their own if they are so inclined. Gamjes could include activities as simple as Ultimate Frisbee, softball or pickup soccer, as there is plenty of openl, space in the vicinity. We should also examine the possibility of rending City Pool for the evening to allow for free admittance for participants. Possiblle dates include Frid~y August 14th, Saturday August 15tH Food could be catered if the money is a ailable, but could be bought in bulk and grilled if we so chose. This jwould give us a littl~ bit more flexibility in how much food we provide based on turnout. Food bought' in bulk from Hy Vee or Fareway wouldn't be too expensive and Lowed City park has the gills needed for said grilling. Ice cream could be bought in the mann$r it is for the elementary ice cream socials. Games would also b~ simple to organizej. It wouldn't be hard for YAC members to provide a few Frisbees of our own along with other simple game accessories of the sort. If we so wished, purchasing these items would not be expensive. (Then perhaps donating them to a s'~chool like Roosevel}?) Renting the pool world probably be sorr~ewhat more difficult, as it would certainly cost money, but would alto act as a powerfu~ advertising tool.
