Each person must bring their own utensils. The City will pay for the tickets for any members of the City Council and Park Board and their spouses. Mr. Dennis Morawczynski was at the meeting representing the Parent's Com- mittee for the Booster Club. Mr. Morawczynski said he wanted to raise money for the football team by getting them involved in some type of community service project. Mr. Brandenburg stated that on May 12 he plans to use 50 of these stu- dents to do various jobs in the parks and prepare the cemeteries for Memorial Day. These students will be supervised by five full time staff members. Prior to this, the students will be collecting pledges for their work to raise money for the Booster Club. The Park Board agreed this is a good idea and are happy to see the City of Anoka working together with these boys to provide this service. The City of Anoka Parks and Recreation Advisory Council supports the Anoka Foot- ball Team Booster Club in their efforts to produce funds by means of a community service work day scheduled on May 12 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the City of Anoka Parks and Recreation Department. An example of work performance will be 30 members working in the Forest Hills and Oakwood Cemeteries, 10 members will be transplanting trees and refurbishing the nursery and 10 members will be going to major parks where active youth activities are taking place and picking up glass and debris. The City of Anoka is not responsible for any financial sup- port but only providing the public service opportunity. We greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Anoka Booster Club and welcome the opportunity to work hand in hand in bettering our life environment. Mr. Brandenburg said he would try to get something put on the marquee at City Hall to help support this project.
