plea me ('02)
Request for a public gathering:
The Request:
I ask that city support be given to the “Good Neighbor Day 2002” (GND2002) organization, to provide free live music in a positive atmosphere to the citizens of Washington, Illinois.
This festival will take place on the afternoon/evening of Saturday, July 20th, 2002 from approximately 1pm to 11pm.
The Benefits:
-To give support, and to further the local music and arts scene in the Washington, Illinois area.
-To benefit all citizens of Washington by giving them a safe and fun alternative to the typical day.
-To help the community by arranging a week of volunteer activities, which will culminate with the Saturday music and arts festival.
-To arrange a week of speakers on the Town Square.
-To donate all proceeds to a charitable cause.
The Background:
We recently hosted a successful 1st annual Good Neighbor Day festival on the afternoon of July 21st, 2001 on outdoor private property, which was attended by roughly 300 spectators, young and old alike.
Six bands performed, with musical styles ranging from rock to pop to metal to hip-hop.
Free food, drink, and games were provided to all in attendance for no charge.
The weather was less than desired, with 100-degree heat, strong humidity, and a drenching shower halfway through the festival.
We left the grounds as clean as we found them.
Continuing this festival will only positively benefit the township, and it will easily bring some much-needed good old-fashioned fun back to our town.
