			 This year the Hilltop Club and new Fall Festival 
			committee are excited to continue traditional activities as well as 
			hopefully bring new opportunities for all ages to enjoy. 
 If you have participated in the past, it is appreciated and the 
			committee looks forward to working with you again. If you have not, 
			please consider helping sponsor this very important event to bring 
			families, friends and visitors to town this year.
 
 There will be several fundraising opportunities between now and 
			September. Those fundraisers are essential to being able to provide 
			a fun, festive event and we need the support of everyone to make 
			those fundraisers as well as the fall festival a success.
 
 This year the committee is offering sponsorship opportunities. 
			Sponsorships will be available on four levels and four price ranges 
			to help fit the budget of everyone.
 
			Sponsorships will be Gold, Silver and Bronze along 
			with a Friends of the Fall Festival sponsorship. To learn more about 
			the various sponsorship packages please contact Megan Neaville at 
			217-828-0208 or email her at 
			nutmeg69l2 @gmail.com. 
			In addition to Sponsorships the committee is also 
			offering merchandise donation opportunities. The donation of 
			services, merchandise or gift certificate will be put together for 
			either silent auctions or raffles to help fund the events that the 
			committee wishes to book for the weekend.

There will also be volunteer opportunities for everyone. 
Volunteers are essential to running successful events and when volunteers are 
not available, the committee has to start narrowing down what it can offer. 
Please consider volunteering so that the overall plan for the weekend will be 
well staffed and enjoyable for all.
 
 
Finally, the committee is interested in hearing what you have to say. If you 
have an idea for something new and interesting, the committee would like to hear 
from you. Contanct Megan Neaville or any other member of the Hill Top Club or 
Fall Festival committee as your first step for cultivating that good idea into a 
great offering at the Mount Pulaski Fall Festival.
 
 To help you understand the financial commitment of hosting the fall festival, 
below is a list of some of the costs involved in the weekend. Anyone who wishes 
to sponsor or help sponsor a specific event can also contact the committee to 
discuss this further.
