Veteran's Day Breakfast on November 2, 2019: • Mary Hutton reported on her efforts to make the breakfast"green" by using only compostable utensils, plates, and cups. Lorain quoted some prices for compostable utensils that she had obtained and the committee approved her proposal to buy them. • Kim Coburn confirmed that she will buy the orange juice for the breakfast. • Geetha reported that the Indian American Association of Lexington will sponsor the pre- program coffee with a donation and also provide volunteers to man the coffee station. • Sandy asked the committee whether active duty military personnel should be included in the slide show. After considerable discussion, the committee decided that only veterans, not active duty members, should be included in the slide show going forward. • Since the slide show request for photo form states that one photo of the veteran should be submitted, if more than one photo is submitted, it is up to the discretion of the committee whether to include more than one. Sandy will not make any changes to existing slides. • Sandy reported that publicity about the breakfast has been published in the Colonial Times Magazine but not yet in the Lexington Minuteman paper. • Lorain suggested that George Gamota be invited to be the keynote speaker at the breakfast and the committee agreed that he should be invited.
