Veteran's Day Breakfast on November 2, 2019: • Lorain thanked the committee for all their work at the breakfast. She reported that everyone thought the breakfast went well. • As part of a review of the breakfast, the following points were made: o There were so many door prizes that it took a long time to give them all out. Perhaps next year we can set a maximum number of door prizes allowed. o There was some discussion about how to expedite handing out the prizes including posting the winners on a board so they can pick up their prizes after the program. o Next year we should make sure to remind the Rotary members to serve the VIPs sitting at the front of the hall first. o Everyone felt that the composting arrangements worked very well. o The IAL volunteers who helped at the coffee table reported that they were happy with their role at the breakfast. The IAL donated $250 to TCC to underwrite the breakfast. o Consensus about the slide show was that the veterans enjoyed it. o The sound system for the program was not turned up high enough so it was difficult to hear the speakers. Veterans Day Parade and Program, November 11, 2019: 0 The parade roster was discussed and some changes made.
