CASE #1 <br /> <br /> BUSINESS APPRECIATION DAY <br />By: James Gromberg, Economic Development Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City has received all of the bids for the 1995 Business Appreciation Day. The bids were as <br />follows: <br /> <br />Rum River Hills Golf Course <br />The Linkslat Northfork <br /> <br />$44.00 per golfer <br />$50.00 per golfer <br /> <br />As we had discussed at our last meeting, if Rum River Hills bid was lower than the Links' bid, <br />they would host ~e event. Based upon this discussion, I have sent the attached letters confirming <br />our event at the Ram River Hills Golf Course on August 23, 1995. The tentative schedule for the <br />event would be as!follows: <br /> <br />12:00 - 1:00 <br />1:00 - 5:30 <br />6:00 - 7:00, <br /> <br />Registration <br />Tournament <br />Meal and Door Prizes <br /> <br />By compressing the event to one-half day, we should have a larger turn-out, as participants would <br />be able to work the first part of the day. <br /> <br />This year's meal will be a choice of either a top sirloin steak or chicken breast dinner. The dinner <br />will include tossed salad, baked potato and dinner rolls. People wishing to purchase the dinner <br />only will be charged $15.00, while persons golfing and having dinner will be charged $50.00 per <br />person. <br /> <br />At the last Commission meeting, we had also discussed the purchase of some type of promotional <br />item to be distribu~d to the participants. Last year hats were distributed. I would recommend the <br />purchase of the ball and tee package, indicated as item "C" on the attachment. These could be <br />purchased for a cost of between $2.12 to $2.35 each. This would include the imprinting of the <br />City logo on each of the balls. <br /> <br />I have also attached a draft brochure for mailing to the local businesses and those that have been <br />involved in the event. The brochure has a somewhat different look from previous years in that <br />there is not the letter from the Mayor encouraging participation in the event. <br /> <br />We had also discussed this year's inductee into the Hall of Fame, with the selection being tabled <br />until we had receiOed bids from all of the possible courses. The decision was tabled due to the <br />possible election of Wes Bulen to the Hall of Fame. Now that the event has been scheduled, we <br />should decide on an inductee and order the required plaques. <br /> <br /> <br />
