Actually, it’s an example how the town is trying to take credit for something thet had nothing to do with. Here’s actually what happened………….
Here is what I remember……….I was invited to a MTF meeting to see what events we can bring to Millwood. I mentioned the Pet Fair to be held @ Millwood Animnal Hospital parking lot since the town would not let us have a Pet Fair in Millwood or Gedney Park. We then talked about other ideas. Someone suggested having one of the concerts in Millwood. I said I didn’t think it would work since no Gazebo. I said Milwood needs their own thing. Leslyse suggested a movie. I said GREAT idea. It could be Millwood equivalent of the concerts. That was all that was discussed.
The next day I looked into renting the equipment – it was around $800. I looked into buying it – it was around $2,500.00. I asked my high school buddy & owner of Drug Mart, RIch Glotzer, if he wanted to buy the equipment. It could be his event every year. Rich is all about Millwood -he bought the equipment within days. I looked into leasing movies, and we picked 4 movies ($250 per movie). The town added an electrical outloet & lights. We created a graphic & lined up sponsors. The town asked to be a sponsor since they added an electrical outlook & lights. Someone suggested that MTF should be a sponsor since the idea was born @ their meeting. We created a logo for them, and made the ma sponsor.
I showed up @ the next MTS meeting with our postcard – which was mailed to all Millwood. Everyone was shocked.
I have always given Leslye credit for the idea, and will continue to do so. But, the other stuff is all news to me.
