1. The Centennial Celebration meeting was called to order at 10:00am
2. STAFF REPORTS
A. Marketing & Promotion
Britney and Cara presented two concepts for the centennial logo. Everyone agreed
on the first logo that was presented but would like the letters a little less boxy and
to have more detail in the pelican. They will make few changes and email the
new logo to Cathy who will distribute it to the rest of the group.
Jeanette passed around the Florida League of Cities 100t' year celebration coin
given out at their conference. The group decided to have a similar coin made
for the City's Centennial Celebration to sell.
B. Art
Paul is meeting with School District Superintendent David Moore, and will talk
with him about a student art contest.
The Student's art will be displayed at the Centennial Events. Rich offered an idea
for each school to have students paint together on a drop cloth that could be hung
from the stage.

C. Historical
Sally and Beth are working together on a chronological list of historical events to
post on the City's social media pages each week during the yearlong celebration.
They will attend the Sebastian Historical Society meeting in September and find
out how they want to be involved.
D. Parades & Special Events
Brian suggested combining the Centennial Parade with the Christmas Parade.
The weekend will start out with the Centennial Light -Up Night on Friday,
Brewfest and Parade on Saturday then the Centennial Celebration on Sunday
starting at 11 am and ending with a Fireworks display at 6pm.
Brian is looking into lowering the cost for the fireworks and is going to get
pricing for a laser show or a drone show.
Brian is working on setting up a kid's area in front of the Twin Piers. He is
hoping to have bounce houses and games for the kids.
Jeanette is interested in contacting a soft serve ice cream truck to serve during the
event. It was suggested to contact Tristan's Kool Dreemz.
E. Sponsorships
Cathy went through the sponsorship level names and amounts. She will send out
the latest template to the group for any last minute ideas before it goes to print.
Marc offered to provide the Rotary Club license to have two beer vendors at the
event. Those vendors would make a donation to the parking attendants.
Brian will work on a schedule of events for the Centennial Celebration and
provide a preliminary budget to present at the next meeting.
Patti will compile a list of businesses outside Sebastian and Cathy will compile a
list of the Sebastian businesses to make a spreadsheet of sponsors to contact.
