Summary
The board confirmed a movie night on April 26 showing The Sandlot; the borough approved the budget for the movie and equipment, and the board is seeking vendors and sponsors including Jenny's Ice Cream and Friends of Narberth Park.
The Narberth Parks and Recreation Board confirmed a community movie night set for April 26, with the family film The Sandlot selected as the feature.
"This will just take a few minutes...April 26 will be movie night...the selection of the movie is The Sandlot," Rebecca (board member) said, noting that borough council approved the budget for the vendor that will provide licensing and projection equipment.
Rebecca and volunteers reported that the borough has paid for the movie package and equipment, which removes a major cost. Jeremy Kuhar, identified by meeting participants as the lead for Friends of Narberth Park, has 501(c)(3) approval and the board expects Friends of Narberth to assist with sponsorships. Rebecca said she has a call scheduled with Kuhar and is coordinating logistics including portable restrooms, vendor outreach and marketing.
Rebecca said Jenny’s Ice Cream has expressed interest in participating and that Friends of Narberth Park would handle sponsorship solicitations; the board discussed establishing general sponsorship guidelines before accepting sponsors so the event is not perceived as private or pay-to-play. The board’s turnout goal is “about a 50, or more families,” Rebecca said.
Volunteers will recruit food and concession vendors rather than the board operating sales directly. The borough and Friends of Narberth Park will coordinate marketing and vendor logistics over the next four weeks.
