Monthly articles by Judith, and with the help of Marge Harame, will begin appearing in local papers. Bumper stickers have been ordered and shortly we will learn what may be available as other souvenir items which we may wish to sell . Barbara Rogers reported 'that the City of Cupertino had declared Philadelphia a sister city and we would be receiving a similar proclamation from Philadelphia shortly. Judith asked that a copy of any publicity observed on the Bicentennial should be sent to her for her files. As President's Day is a holiday, our official kickoff and press releases will be delayed until proulbly February 23rd. Sam Bruni reported that the kickoff for Public Schools Week will take place on 4-3-87 at Vallco Shopping Center. Frank Jelinch reported that he will arrange with members of the the Cupertino Bar Association to provide speakers for American history and civic classes on Law Day, May 1st, who will speak to something Constitutional from a practical aspect, such as from the Bill of Rights. Barbara Rogers indicated that both Cogswell and De Anza colleges should be contacted to determine if they would also like spea ers and increased involvement. Jeannie Ryden and Judith Burrell are going to research the possibility of developing a logo pin and will check with De Anza's Art Department for possible source of the design. Dennis, La-Donna, Jeannie, Genevieve & Judith are going to explore the possibility of having an informational booth (to include voter regis-tratic;-, forms) for De Anza Day and possibly have food or souvenir ' ,-.ems for sale. 77 On Flag Day the community will be encouraged to put out flags and we will explore possibility of getting flags on consignment to sell at De Anz:a Days. City of of Cupertino will have a Fourth of July celebration with fireworks. May consider selling flags and food .item such as raatermelon tit that event. Barbara Rogers informed us that De Anza College has agree1 to let us use their facilities including 'Zhe football and soccer f_lds for the celebration to 9-19-87. They will provide security but Commission will need to make arrangements for cleanup as school starts 9-21-87. The parade is planned for 10-11 :30 AM on 9-19-87 and will start at Cogwell College, go down Bubb Road, right on Stevens Creek, right on Stelling and end at De Anza's parking lot. Dean Skeels has agreed to chair the music portion of the parade. ' Apple Computer has indicated an interest in sponsoring our "Early Morning Constitutional" 10K run. Dennis Prouty will check feasibility with Parks and Recreation and coordinate with Jerry Ferguson who is in contact with Jennifer Murphy of Apple. It was suggested that we seal Apple/Bicentennial Constitutional sweatbands for runners and sponsor a dinner for she runners the night before. Further investigation needed at this poi;it with the decision obviously dependent upon whether or not we do, in fact, hold the run. Art in the Park has 4sked if 'they can move their event to 9-19-87 from 9-20-87 and it was agreed that it would be okay and would likely attract more participants to the events of the day. Exhibitors for 9-•19-87 had asked if there would be any charge to them for their booths. It was agreed that only those with products for sale would be charged for booths. It was decided to organize a contest in the high schools for a poster contest for our celebration, Jeannie, Judith and Robin will coordinate. Jerry Ferguson indicated that in soliciting funds it was expected that companies would probably like to sponsor particular cost items such as events, printing, security etc. A list of needed sponsors will be developed. Frank Jelinch suggested a raffle as a fund raiser with the prize being a trip to Washington and Philddelphia. Jerry and Nick Lazaneo will research with local travel agencies to determine feasibility. Tickets would be sold at all functions. All members are asked to be sure and attend our next meeting on March 18th.
