Well, the sounds of marching bands have long faded, Sandy Boulevard is once again slick with rain and traffic is flowing in Hollywood. Good job Mr. President in your second parade this week!

It has been a busy day for TT too. Thought I would just give you all my update.

The Boosters are generously paying for 200 yellow construction hard hats that say THIRD THURSDAY www.hollywoodboosters.com. They have been ordered and we are supposed to have them by 6/20 (that is the earliest I could get them). The other misc. construction stuff I ordered like hard hats for kids and cones, etc should be here in time for me to bring to next week's meeting.

The application for the noise permit is in the mail, and barring any unforeseen problems, we should have it in time for this month's TT as well. Start thinking about patios and front walks as good venues for live music, as long as they don't compete with each other. It is such a good way to get attention to our event.

Music is finally coming along this month and I have booked everyone who wanted someone except Rose City Vision. We still have two weeks, so I am confident it will be fine. Any one who knows someone, this business is small and good for a solo instrumentalist. They also have a little patio they might use as well.

Jeff and I will be getting together very soon to take a look at the grant and see exactly where we are. That way we know what we have to work with for the rest of the year. Keep in mind the in kind donation is largely our time. Please try to remember to keep track of the time you spend working on TT as we will have to report it at the end of the grant period.

Kerry, I think the orange sign idea is great! Some orange poster board and stencils would do the trick.

Maybe next month's theme should be something more generic, like fun & games or pool party, so nothing is contingent on Hollywood happenings for the moment.

You guys are great! Thanks for making things happen.
