Chairperson's Report:
Jim Foss thanks Board members for the work on various committees. Jim brought up the
idea to have the local Elk Grove movie theater have a"free day" geared to young
children, similar to one he had attended in Barrington. Admission would be free, but
incidentals, such as food and drink, would be at the regular charge. In Barrington, the
shopping center businesses donated the $800 to cover the cost of the six week "free
theater"program. The "free day" he attended was almost 100% full and it was during the
morning of a weekday. Jim has discussed this with our village president, Craig Johnson,
and the theater owner, Willis Johnson. There is some interest in doing this in Elk Grove
next summer. Jim said he would follow up on this.
