AGENDA: (Reviewed by Fish)
YOUTHS OF MANSFIELD
There will be two portable bleachers on the field. Lorilee ex-
plained to the youth's where everyone will be posted. Joan
Cutillo will put the money collected in the safe at the Town Hall
at 9:00 p.m. The gates will open at 5:00 p.m. Lorilee ordered
1,000 pink wrist bands to show that people have paid. She also
ordered olive green head bands so that the police can identify
the volunteers. If the volunteers see that someone has not paid,
ask them to pay. If they give the volunteers a hard time they
should give a description to a police officer and they will have
them arrested for trespassing. There should be at least 20 adult
volunteers and 20 youth volunteers. If this concert doesn't go
off successfully and quietly, the youths will not be allowed to
have another concert. Bob Button addressed the volunteers that
if someone is hurt do not try to lift or carry anyone. The bay
stations will be set up near the bathrooms. John Cleary and
Lorilee are working on the signs. They will state:
NO ALCOHOL - NO CONTAINERS - DRUG FREE SCHOOL ZONE - ONCE ENTERED
NO EXIT
The fourth band has been changed to Mission Impossible. Zac
Stewart is the manager. The youth's need a back up band. $252
to date has been collected. Set up time for Mission Impossible
is 6:00 p.m. We will have one more meeting before June 8.
Date of next meeting: June 4, 1990 at 6:30 at Memorial Park. If
the volunteers are not at this meeting to sign up for volunteer
work they will not be allowed to be a volunteer. Ask people to
park at Qualters Middle School or High School. Sound check will
be 3:00 p.m. Lorilee's employees will take care of the staging.

George Figueredo is all set on the radios. Still does not know
about the cruisers. There are six volunteers from the the East-
ern Football League. Brian Gallagher will get the names of the
volunteers. The best place to place them will be the gates.
George mentioned we could car pool from the Town Hall to get to
Memorial Park. The Town Manager, Thomas Dwyer, feels comfortable
about what we are doing about the safety issues. Lorilee will

cert. Put the Hope Street residents on the agenda for 8:00 p.m.
