Golf Manor organizers plan Pride meetup, approve presale plan and set a $200 spending cap for shirts
Summary
Golf Manor Village discussed Pride participation logistics, agreed to presell shirts through Square with a committee-approved spending authorization up to $200 to support presales, and planned a parade meetup near Fountain Square.
Golf Manor Village recreation organizers discussed Pride plans — whether to hold a potluck, march in the downtown parade or simply meet up to watch — and approved a presale and spending framework for Pride T-shirts.
Organizers debated holding a Pride potluck on June 28 (the date printed on postcards) versus moving the event to another weekend to avoid conflicts with the parade and July 4 holiday. The group settled on encouraging residents to meet at downtown Fountain Square to watch the parade together and to promote wearing Golf Manor Pride shirts.
For fundraising and identification, the committee approved a motion to presell Pride shirts through Square and authorized spending of up to $200 to cover presale-related printing and fulfillment costs. Organizers set a $22 sale price for adult shirts, discussed minimums (12 shirts per run), and planned a Square-based presale page and a Square QR code link to appear on the website. The committee noted it cannot spend presale proceeds until formal approval is recorded, which the motion supplies.
The committee covered operational details: who will take orders, when to submit the first print run to get shirts by mid-June, and whether to offer used shirts at a reduced price. They discussed using existing artwork designed by a resident volunteer and possibly running a second order if demand continues.
Communication and outreach tied to Pride planning also came up: members reported postcards, website “Villager update” email blasts and the village news archive as channels for event promotion. One member pointed out inconsistent postcard delivery on some routes, and organizers offered additional postcards and suggested residents sign up for the Villager email list if they had not received messages.
Discussion vs. decisions: The committee separated planning discussion (meeting location within the parade area, wording on postcards) from the formal decision: authorize up to $200 to support Pride shirt presales. Organizers asked staff to post event details on the village website and create a Facebook event to coordinate attendee meetups.
Next steps included posting the Square link and event page, finalizing meeting place and time (organizers suggested meeting at Fountain Square near the banks around 10:30–11 a.m. the parade day) and circulating the presale link via the Villager email and the website.
