MEMO TO: TOWN OF WAPPINGERS BOARD
FROM: RALPH HOLT, CHAIR -RECREATION COMMITTEE
DATE: MAY 2, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011 COMMUNITY DAY
TOWN SUPERVISOR
Christopher J. Colsey
TOWN BOARD

Joseph P. Paoloni
The reduction in the 2011 celebration account has required us to undertake another look
at what we can afford to plan for this year's Community Day celebration.
We propose the following:
1) We go forward with the two (2) days we have already planned (Sept. 17 & 18)
2) We go forward with our plan for fireworks
3) We plan for the large tent, we place in front of the stage (this provides weather coverage,
particularly for our seniors)
4) We maintain our plan for both the mechanical rides and the inflatable rides (no financial
impact)
5) We wish to try to put together a parade in a reduced format (we will not hire the expensive
bands as in the past. This will save us an estimated $4,500.00 (5 bands at $900).
We will try to secure the high school band and also any other band that we find
affordable. We will be searching around the county to see if we can come up with something. If
we do this, we will be able to reduce the Community Day expense by 50%.
We do expect a little help; we will be renting spaces for vendors and expect an estimated
$500.00. We also expect an estimated $700.00 from the mechanical rides for miscellaneous
booths that they use (that would be an additional reduction).
We will also plan to have some local talent perform during Sunday (choral groups, small
jazz bands and more).
That is our plan — it needs a lot of work, but with the town's approval we will get started.
Sincerely,
Ralph J. olt
