Veterans’ Breakfast, November 5 Sandy Podgorski reported the decisions of the breakfast door prize sub-committee: The process for awarding and distributing the door prizes will remain the same as in previous o years. Each veteran gets one ticket. Tickets will be given only to veterans. Two people working at the o ticket table will request veteran’s information (name, address, email address, branch of service, etc.) on a file card. The card will then be used as the door prize ticket. Ticket table will be located away from the sign-in table, to prevent congestion. Tickets (file cards) go into one basket from which door prize tickets will be drawn. o Prizes will be delivered to tables by TCC members. o Bill Mix suggested that we ask Gina Rada to be at the ticket table. Karen confirmed that Msgr. Garrity of St. Brigid’s will offer the invocation at the breakfast. There was a discussion about the use of sandwich boards to advertise the breakfast.
