Smith proposed it could be used to hire someone partâ€"time to help with Summerfest, for community projects or for charity. Several directors supported ploughing the money back into the community rather than giving it to charity. She is seeking ideas from the board and the Special Events commitâ€" tee on ways to use the money generatâ€" ed by Summerfest which she prefers to consider as a reserve. Smith stressed that the success of Summerfest was dependent on good weather and was concerned that although this was a bumper year, the association could lose a lot of money any year there is bad weather. The introduction of a Ferris Wheel helped increase ticket sales this year, and although there was good weather throughout most of the weekend, GARA lost some revenue on the Saturday night when rain forced the shut down of rides. Residents turned out in droves for the threeâ€"day festival which is now established as a Glen Abbey tradition. "This year we had tremendous support from sponsors," Gail Smith, Special Events chair, said at GARA‘s monthly meeting Monday night. The tenth anniversary Summerfest proved to be the best ever. The annual event sponsored by the Glen Abbey Residents Association (GARA) every August pulled in a "reserve" of $6,457 this year, its biggest to date.

President Steve Klein suggested that GARA look for a solution to this problem and "maybe put on a late bus." Smith told the board that the basâ€" ketball court, a suggestion GARA brought to the Town of Oakville, is not in full operation.

Director Wendy Perkins suggested a portion of the money be set aside as a reserve for future Summerfests, and supported the idea of hiring a student to work on the event.

The next GARA meeting will be held on Oct. 3rd at Pilgrim Wood Public School starting at 7:30 p.m. The association is looking for volâ€" unteers for its Special Events Committee and a Communications chair. The board elected Terry Schill to fill the treasurer‘s position which has been vacant for several months. GARA, whose present membership stands at 1,400, still has one vacancy on its board. The association will be also replacing two plaques which were removed by vandals from benches in Abbey Lane Park. GARA places plaques inscribed with the names of the Association‘s past presidents on benches it donates to the community.
