Since our last meeting we have visited with representatives of
the Sehool Distriet, the Parents Communication Netwark, and other
cities in Dakota County regarding the Red Ribban Campaign October
22-29.
Dave Bechtold has also solicited and received, s cammitment £rom
the Rosemount Jaycees to provide funding for a portion (50x) af
the casts of suppli.ea for the campaign.
At this writing I am waiting for a reply from the School Di.strict
on what their involvement wauld be. We have advised them that
the City of Rosemount and the Rosemount Jaycees wi11 provide
funding for them in the area of ribbons, bnttons and banners. We
have also suggested a �ofi.nt news release and some other things
the students can get involved in.
By our meeting an Tuesdap we should have finalized a program fox
your aPFroval.
I would suggest the foliowing wi11 probably be our involvement:
l . Purchase enough red ribbon to suppl.q a11 students in
Rosemount Schoals so that they can pin ribbons c�n to
wear one or more days of the week. Purchase enough
addi�ional ribbon for displa�► bp city staff and canncil
members and to b� displayed on city vehicles that week.
CQst $200
2. Purchase enough buttons for city staff , GOUIIC3.1 and
schaol' s staff to wear that week.
