High turnout at Daddy–Daughter dance prompts tweaks to ticketing; board schedules July trivia night
Summary
The Daddy–Daughter dance sold out one session (126 of 130 tickets) and the board debated a three‑session format versus two fuller sessions; the board also approved a low‑cost trivia night for late July and discussed a poll for a mother–son event.
Board members reviewed the Daddy–Daughter dance held Feb. 22 and reported strong attendance: the first session sold 126 tickets (venue capacity 130) and the second session sold about half of its allotment. Members debated whether to add a third session or reduce the first‑session cap to balance attendance across sessions and noted bathroom capacity and concessions as operational constraints.
One board member described the hour‑long session as preferable to previous 90‑minute sessions, saying it reduced fatigue and worked well for families. Members discussed partnering with Oak Park for additional space, possibly sharing concession revenue or covering Oak Park charges with a small ticket price increase.
Separately, the board voted to schedule a low‑cost trivia night in July to boost community engagement with minimal expense. Members agreed on a late‑July weekend date (targeted July 25) and decided to offer free admission with concessions to offset costs; the board moved to reserve the Vassor Center and planned a simple, volunteer‑run format.
The board also discussed a future poll for a mother–son (or mother–daughter) event to let residents choose preferred months (June or November were discussed), and agreed staff should post the poll and return a recommended month and format to a future agenda.
