 Okay, I have 515. Might be a little ahead of time, but I wanna welcome everyone to our meeting and call it order. We've got a great attendance tonight. The only one that isn't here is Scott. And he couldn't attend, I'm gonna take it. Cole, excuse me, Cole, I know it's Scott. And also with Todd becoming city administrator, we've lost our older person, but we'll be, Mike will be appointing one in the near future. So with that, we stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, and give it his all. Okay, thank you. I'm Sarah, do we get any correspondence? Do we get it? I don't know what you mean. There we go. Oh, okay, gotcha. Do we have any correspondence, Sarah? As probably everyone has already heard, the Art Center has canceled the Levitt Amp concerts for the remaining of the summer, so we will not be volunteering at those. And the letter back to Esslingen from the mayor is still work in progress. And then the letter that Cole is writing for Subami is also work in progress. He's aiming to have a draft ready this coming week. And that's all I got. Okay, thanks a lot. Okay, I look for approval all the minutes from Thursday, June 4th. Move in seconded. Any discussion about the minutes? Hearing none, all in favor? Aye. Opposed? Aye. Okay. Oh, you're not opposed, okay. Just delayed. Okay, format for Esslingen-Fest. I think last month it was tabled and we kind of, not kind of, but for the most part, really believe that we can't do the same type of format we've done in the past. Mark had mentioned in a couple of other, that possibly we could have a drive-through brought fry that day. And I think three sheets would be up for that. And we went to a drive-through at Johnsonville last Sunday and it worked and they still made some money. So let's open that for discussion about, do we want to still have a drive-through brought fry on that day? I mean, people can take it home. They're set up that people could eat there if they want to, but it's their choice and it's not our decision in and out. So discussion. Wasn't asleep over this, but the idea I had thought of is to, you know, obviously keep it simple and you could run a brought fry from 11 until three. You need two people to fry food. All you're serving is hamburgers and brats. So you have one person serving hamburgers, one person serving brats, one person collecting money by people. And then you'd serve the food outside or, you know, so that I don't know if you're gonna actually ferry it to their car. I didn't think of that, but everything would be cooked outside, served outside. If people want to walk inside after that and eat it, so be it. The downside to this is we really should have onions and pickles in small Ziploc baggies, like Charles Church does, been doing that for years. And the kept open mustard should really be in small plastic containers with a cover on it. And just to, you know, be safe. The other thing is Johnsonville for the last three years has sponsored 500 bucks. And we've gotten three sheeps. We've gotten money from three sheeps. I think they used to give us about a buck of glass, because obviously when you go to a festival, you got a lot more people that are gonna be there. But in, I still have all these things. 2018, three sheeps, $638, 2017, three sheeps, $550. Last year was the worst year we had because we had it on a Packard game, three sheeps, 350. So three sheeps, last year three sheeps and Johnsonville sponsorship, 850 bucks. And Johnsonville gives us the hamburgers and brats. I think without some form of sponsorship and obviously without the meat being donated, we'd have to have a screw loose to even wanna do this. But that's my idea. You know, we could, you could have a still and a crew of like five people, run it from 11. You could literally get there at 10 in the morning because we're not setting much and nothing up. And by three o'clock, you virtually got stuff packed up by quarter after three, you're either going home or you're getting a beer and practicing your distancing. So that's my idea. I don't know if anybody's got any other ideas they wanna add to. And once again, if we don't do this, I mean, somewhere down the road before we get too carried away, we should see how many people would be willing to put in on. Well, if we served for four hours, we would need about a total of a shift to like about five hours. Whether we took some of the shifts and busted them in two or you had a two and a half hour shift or maybe a three hour shift that overlap. Yeah. When I talked to James, he said, you know, he doesn't know what it's gonna be at that point, but he said that he still wants to go far with that. They just started their yogurt and beer outside. So, you know, they're still doing events there, but with social distancing, you know, the process. Once again, we basically, I mean, we could run this whole event with two nascals. It gotta be plugged in, but normally we have four nascals and two chafing dishes and a couple of other things. No potato salad, no beans, no water, no, you know, it's hard to call it Essling and Fest. You can call it Essling and Fest broadfryer. I don't know what you'd call it, but I mean, we couldn't even afford a van because if we buy a van. We're just Mayor's International Committee broadfriars. Yeah, we're just shooting ourselves in the foot. Yeah, still. If you wanna make some money, you're gonna have to keep it simple. Anybody got any questions for me? Well, you know what Mike usually does that and I wouldn't doubt they would probably do it. Yeah, Tony, right, Tony and I mean, the main thing would be to get the food and you know, they've been, apparently, I mean, I'm interpreting this as a $500 as a cash donation, not just the food, not the equivalent of what they give us in food for instance. Yeah, yeah, so I mean, if we can get some corkage out of three sheeps, if we could get 500 or something dollars out of Johnsonville and if we can get the hamburgers and brats, well then all you need is bags, wraps, onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, lighter fluid, charcoal, not much. I mean, we spent 100 bucks on rolls last year, so you could do this party for a $200 outlay would take care of the party. So it just, but somewhere down the road, we're gonna want to take a hand count. There's only two people that want to do this and we're wasting, we're spending our wheels for nothing. So any other questions for me? I just have a question. You gotta go over there and talk it. Should I call Ryan Coucher and cancel him? Yes. Okay, I will do that. Should we find a sponsor or? No, I think- So does the duly afford it? No, not with what we're talking about. I don't think we could afford it in this year. The other thing is I do have charcoal left over from last year, so I got like three bags of three or four bags of charcoal. So that's not an issue. And I'd be willing to help fry again, like always. So, anyone else? Is it Julie? First of all, you're not gonna have the same turnout. You're not gonna get anywhere near the amount of beer soul that you did from three shapes last year. The turnout is not gonna be as strong. You're not encouraging people to go inside. For the amount of time we're putting into it, I don't think it's worth doing it at all. We don't know what the situation's gonna be in September to go through all this effort of planning and stuff. The COVID cases are, the client is going up in Sheboygan. I know I cannot work at it. My husband cannot work at it. I know we've got to look at the age of our group. I don't encourage most of the people in this group to be able to work at it. So as Mark said, how many people want to work at it? First of all, how many people want to work at it? Show of hands, just out of curiosity. I would. So you have enough if you want to do five all day. But I don't think the money we get out of it is gonna be worth it. I don't think we're gonna make that much. If you can't guarantee the sponsorship, there's no way you can do it. Okay, the chair privilege is that if we don't, and I put it on the agenda, if we don't do any fundraising at all, and we can't do it, then we got to think of some other fundraisers because this, we operate off of our own fundraising and we do this for the students in all those programs. And so if we don't do even these smaller fundraisers, then we're gonna have to think about some other options. Julie? The students are not going to Germany this year. We don't know if we're going to Germany this coming year. The Germans aren't coming here this year, so if we put things on hold for a year, you've got, it's negating everything. If you're not, you don't need the expenditures like you're saying. I don't see where the expenditures are gonna be happening. We're not sponsoring the kids this year. So we don't, if we put everything on hold for a year, we're sort of where we're at, the status quo. Any other comments? Have you got me? Yeah, hi, Tom. Hi. Okay, so there's absolutely no raffles, no silent auction. Right. Okay, any, I can see where the silent auction might be a little dicey. Seems to me like we could have, we could maybe think that out and come up with something, a handful of items that might attract enough. But the raffle tickets seem almost like an automatic, don't they? Particularly if we have a portion of it toward food. Yeah, the Johnsonville Fire Department had theirs and they still had raffle. They still raffle tickets and they still had a cash raffle. Sure. Would a 50-50 in house be, that'd be a little dicey, I think? Probably, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. But we had raffle tickets, we'd get them 10-20 at a time and we must have made a few bucks on that, yes? Mm-hmm, yeah. So anyone else? Well, we got a couple options. We can continue to have it tabled or we can bring it up for a vote that we go for with the planning of a brought fry. And I can see a brought fry is something that you could cut it off pretty quick. I mean, a month ahead, three weeks ahead. You could say, well, we're not gonna go forward with it. So. Are you gonna advertise? What? If you advertise, how long does your advertising take? Well, we'll just, we do the Facebook advertising. Did we ever advertise more than three weeks in advance? Maybe four? Mm-hmm. So we need to either keep it tabled till August or we need to make a vote that we wanna go forward with it with the people who wanna do it. So. Julie? I'll move that we do not have a brought fry. Okay, it's a motion made that we do not have a brought fry. Is there a second to that? I have a second to that. Okay, moving seconded. Okay, any continued discussion? Hearing none, okay, a vote of I means that we don't have the brought fry. Okay, all in favor of Julie's motion and not having a brought fry signified by saying aye. And opposed? Okay, I think we need to have a hand vote. So all those in favor, I am not having a brought fry raise your hand. Okay, all in the opposed, meaning that we would have a brought fry or we vote. One, two, three, four, five, six. So that's. That was seven. Seven? Yeah, I'm a member. Was Tom's vote? Tom, you're an aye, seven. Okay, I think is that we will attempt to have a brought fry. And we'd still have the opportunity to back out. Yeah, we can back out. So, okay. So we'll have this on the discussion again for August and we'll continue discussing and it's just something that, you know, if we, go ahead, Mark. I was just wondering if the three big dollar amounts here are three shapes, you know, if they're willing to give us bucket glass or whatever for that day, free product from Johnsonville and they sponsored us for the last three years too. I mean, those three things are a thousand bucks. I mean, we could run a 15 minute brought fry and make a thousand dollars. Yeah. So we, well, hey, I mean, we wanna make sure that we're gonna get those sponsorships. Otherwise, I might even just vote the other way myself. Yeah. Well, let's move forward with the planning for now. Yeah, I mean, I don't know the people on those channels. Can we do this before next meeting and see if they're willing to one product, $500 donation and three sheets of bucket glass and I'm sure everybody's gonna say, sure, fine. But I mean, obviously, like I said, 15 minute brought by would net us a thousand bucks. So I'd be really interested in doing it if we can get those kind of sponsorships. Julie? I'm a little weird. Julie, can you go to that? I tried contacting them for that kid's cancer brought by was doing and he says that we don't like encouraging doing this. And so he was, he wasn't, you know, he really, they don't want to do that anymore. He said, don't even mention that we're doing it to anybody. We don't want to be known for doing this. So he's tending to pull back on that. So I'm just saying you might have a little more resistance. I would say if we don't have a $500 sponsorship, if we have to buy food, I'm voting the other way. We should check that out. Well, the motion made, so we're gonna go forward. Please put it on the agenda for next month. We'll continue to do that. Okay, thanks. Discuss the possible delay of our travel plans for next trip next year. There are, and because there's so many uncertainties and right now Europe is not accepting any people from the United States. So what's they feeling about just rather than doing any more planning for this year is look towards made 2022 or 2022 it doesn't have to be me. No, what would be 21 is we would be going. So it's 22 unless everything opens up and we go in the fall of 21, but It's only a few months difference. Is it worth it? So I would say we look to sometime in 2022 for our next trip to Essingen. Do I hear a motion on that? And then we can get out on the table and discuss it. Okay, second. Okay, Pat second. Okay, it's motion made in second and then we delay the trip to 2022. Any discussion? I think we can put this one in the bed real quickly. Why don't we just put it to a vote? How who would be interested in possibly going to Europe in May of 2021 versus who would rather go there in May of 2022? We don't need discussion, in my opinion. If people want to go in 21, then we'll have discussion. Well, I think that's what the motion would take care of. Okay, so all in favor delaying the trip to 2022. Signify saying aye. Aye. Any opposition? Okay, so we are gonna delay the trip until 2022. So we'll be planning that when we know have more information, okay? Okay, I think I put this on alternate fundraising options because we, and I think I just put it up not to make a decision, but start thinking of that because we can have minor brought prizes to do it. Obviously we're not gonna be able to attend bar anywhere or anything of that. Do we have a community wide raffle or something like that? So Julie. Oh, you're scratching your head, okay. Okay, so, yes, y'all. The only thing that I'm thinking of, it's my understanding that Meatsfields is still, I know it's out of the city, but they're still doing their brought fries? And they're a little hot, they moved it to the other side of the street and they have tables and things. So that would be an alternate idea if we didn't, you know. Let's see what happens now. Right, okay. Okay, any more discussion? Okay, okay, we'll just keep that on as a standing at Gen Ita for a little while, Sarah. Okay. Okay, the last thing is Sobami sister city relationship next step and subcommittee here again, that's somewhat on hold again. And we're waiting for Cole's letter and just to let them know that we're thinking of them. It Japan is not in as tough a shape as our country. So they're a little more open than we are right now. So. Yeah, Cole said that he's been messaging with, make my ankle, is that? And she said, yeah, Sobami has had next to no cases. So their situation is much different. Right, that's great. So, okay, anything else? Does there anything you would like put on the agenda for next month, if at this point, if not just let Sarah, Mike and I know and we'll get it on the agenda. With that, I look at the next meeting on August 6th, pardon? He's ahead of you. Okay, now a motion to adjourn. Second. Okay, motion to adjourn. Main second, all in favor? Aye. Opposed? Aye. Okay. You're all day late and not a shirt there, Tom. Okay, thanks for everyone coming and Tom for showing up. Have a great evening.
