Two bands have submitted interest in performing for the Mother’s Day Concert. Option one is a
folk, gypsy, jazz group that has a $900-1200 negotiable fee. Option two is the Pat Cormick Group
which was budgeted for $600 for the 2011 concert. The committee voiced approval to invite Pat
Cormick back after the stunning performance last year and more affordable fee.
The Jack House will be scheduled to be cleaned before tours begin in April. Burger will contact
Andrew Collins about cleaning services after challenges last year with carpet cleaning.

Purses on Parade is the theme for the Mother’s Day Concert. Kincaid presented a sample of beaded

Concert and Kincaid is refashioning promotion for the photo opportunity.
