Commission approves $84 for 200 additional buttons for Celebrate Englewood; event volunteer slots set
Summary
The Cultural Arts Commission approved spending $84 to purchase about 200 additional buttons for the Celebrate Englewood event, bringing the planned inventory to roughly 300 buttons; commissioners signed up for staffing slots and staff outlined craft and outreach plans for the event.
The Cultural Arts Commission voted to purchase approximately 200 additional buttons for Celebrate Englewood at an estimated cost of $84, bringing the total available buttons for the event to roughly 300.
Staff said the commission had previously approved 75 buttons at an earlier meeting and that an initial purchase of 100 had already been made; the $84 purchase was presented to expand the quantity for the August block-party-style event. A commissioner moved to approve the $84 purchase and a second was recorded; the motion passed on a voice vote of “Aye.” No recorded roll-call tally was provided in the meeting transcript.
Staff described planned activities for the Celebrate Englewood booth including button-making demonstrations, a children’s craft table with markers, crayons and collage materials, and informational flyers about the Cultural Arts Commission and public-art opportunities. Commissioners signed up for shifts during the event (the commission listed two-hour coverage blocks, with some members taking one-hour slots). Staff said they would bring a table, banner and tablecloth and that the button maker and supplies would be on hand for demonstrations.
Staff also said outreach materials would include a QR code and a printed link for people who cannot scan. The commission discussed design options for the buttons and the types of supplies and staffing needed for the activity; staff will finalize logistics ahead of the Celebrate Englewood date.
