(DISTRICTS - ALL) The Historical Society is in need of several volunteers for the Civil War Encampment, July 24-26 and conducting tours at the museums on Sundays. Since the first Civil War Reenactment, the Executive Director has been the organizer and point person for the event in addition to devoting many hours over this weekend. This year the Executive Director has a scheduled absence during the event and therefore the demand of volunteers is greater to fill this gap. The weekend long event requires volunteers to help with set up on Friday night, staffing the gift shop and information tents during the event and clean up Sunday evening. Recruitment ideas to attract new volunteers is needed. The Ice Cream Social will be held on August 23, 2015 at the Victorian Cottage from 1 to 3 p.m. A picnic at the Peck Homestead is scheduled for September 27, 2015. Adjournment On a motion by Commissioner Poskocil and seconded by Commissioner Fetters, and all were in favor, the meeting was adjourned at 8:08 p.m. Village of Lombard Page 2
