<br />Sondra: has purchased all necessary supplies and will bring extra markers.
<br />Don Martini: Rotary has decided to purchase high quality plastic dinner plates in lieu of St. Brigid’s
<br />chinaware to expedite service and cleanup.
<br />Gina Rada: the Community Center and Michelson’s have each sold about 50 tickets; with 16 additional
<br />reservations for the Minutemen, committee members and guests, we are at about 135-140 at this point.

<br />Karen: will bring decorated basket for raffle tickets.
<br />Suzanne: sandwich boards with posters have been placed at St. Brigid’s and Cary Hall.

<br />will just post the American flag and the Town flag, leaving the service flags on the stage to be available
<br />for service portraits after the ceremony.
<br />All: reviewed the prepared script for the breakfast and made comments and edits. The Vietnam medals
<br />will be distributed during the door prize segment.
<br />Sandy: the slideshow is at LexMedia for production and the addition of music. It will be tested before
<br />Saturday. We ended up with 55 contributed photos, significantly above our initial goal.
<br />Rich: will open the program shortly before 9:00 for welcome and introductions; Don Martini agreed
<br />that the target time for serving breakfast is 9:00. Lorain (and only Lorain) will give the go-ahead signal.
