• Volunteers are needed to help with public relations and advertising; decorating; volunteer coordination; and working the night of the performance on many details. The planning committee is meeting weekly on Tuesday evenings at 7:30 at the Community Center. Veterans' Breakfast, Saturday, October 31, 2015, Keilty Hall • Bedford veterans will be welcome and included in the publicity materials. • We will print only 200 tickets to assure that we don't have an overcapacity crowd. • Geetha has IT skills and will help with mail merging and preparation of blast email messaging. • Rich suggested Sandra Diaz, PhD, from the Bedford VA as Keynote Speaker and the committee voted to approve her selection. • Linda D will write up an article for the Minuteman's October 22 edition. • Bill Mix suggested bringing in a small musical group to play the National Anthem and the service songs. Kim Coburn will check with the high school band and Bill will see about securing two fifers and a drummer from the Lexington Minutemen. • Six members volunteered to staff the check -in table and write name tags for guests. This should be enough to make foot traffic flow easily and avoid jams at the entrance. • Sandy Podgorski, Dick Crogan, and Wayne Miller have begun to solicit local businesses to contribute door prizes. Each donor will receive a certificate of thanks from the committee. • Karen and Julie are planning to use fresh flowers as centerpieces. Kin suggested asking a local florist or garden center to lend us two dozen small potted plants to use as centerpieces and then return immediately after the breakfast. She has done this with another group function. Bob Tracey volunteered to approach Wagon Wheel with this request. • Sondra will purchase paper goods. • Sandy handed around the final copy of a flyer advertising the breakfast and the Veterans' Day ceremony and received committee approval. Gina will print 100 copies. She and Bill Linnehan, Bedford Veterans Services Officer, will distribute 50 copies and Sandy will distribute 50 copies. Planning will continue at the next meeting, which is scheduled for October 7, 2015.
