The July 4th Freedom Festival is the band's next performance. 5) Attended the VFW Regional visit by the Commander -in -Chief. This was not a City event, but the City was there to support the VFW. 6) Banbury Subdivision did clean-up day of Hyde Park on April 4. 7) Park Donation Fund — As of March 31 the official balance was $2,759. 8) May 14 - Brazoria County is having a fact finding mission to put together county wide park master plan. They want to do one here in Pearland, and we offered them the opportunity to use Pearland East Junior High. It is a chance for people to come out and tell them what they want. They said meetings have been "flops" as far as attendance went. After questioning found out their meetings are at 6:30 p.m., but they will move them to 7.00 p.m. All members of the board are welcome to attend. 9) The Board is invited to join City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission at 6.30 p.m. in Council Chambers as they will be reviewing the City Comprehensive Plan.

Ed passed out programs from the Community Band concert. Paul Knoble recommended something in the future about getting word out. Perhaps as more people communicate they will get it out by word of mouth. Maybe in the future do three indoor concerts, or, more realistically, two per year. There are plans to bring in San Jacinto students into the band since San Jac does not have a band. Benefactors were recognized on the program as well as on a poster as well as from the stage. Bill Chase called for questions. There were none.
