the popcorn were free, the participants paid for carnival rides, games, food and beverages
and wound up spending a total of $2,090 to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. The Parks &
Recreation Department partnered with Nautilus Middle School whose band raised $175
and with Fienberg-Fisher Elementary School teachers and Parents who painted faces and
raised $50. The Parks and Recreation Department raised the balance of $1,865 by selling
