• Mary Hutton noted that many of the essays were handed in late, which made producing <br /> the booklet of essays difficult. She also noted that perhaps we accepted too many essays. <br /> The committee discussed some suggestions about how to reduce the size of the booklet <br /> but no decisions were made except to agree that the due date for essays should be moved <br /> up to allow more time for producing the booklet. <br /> • Sue Stering noted that during the program at Cary Hall, there were some veterans seated <br /> in the balconies who did not receive carnations from the Girl Scouts. Although there were <br /> scouts assigned to the balconies, they did not have enough carnations. The committee <br /> later agreed that the TCC should make sure they coordinate with the scouts before the <br /> program to make sure that there are enough scouts and carnations on the balconies to <br /> accommodate the veterans who sit there. <br /> • Sue noted that few High School teachers attended the program and she suggested that the <br /> committee work on getting more teachers to attend. <br /> • Sue suggested that the committee create certificates of appreciation to be given to <br /> students who participate in Veterans Day by writing essays, creating art works, or other <br /> activities. <br /> Patriots Day, 2020 <br /> • Lorain suggested that the committee members should start reviewing information and <br /> suggestions from 2019 Patriots Day so issues can be raised early. <br /> • Paul Jenkins raised the issue of obtaining a truck to be used for Patriots Day Parade <br /> deliveries, etc. since in the past it was not always easy to obtain a donated adequate <br /> vehicle. He suggested renting a truck for the day. <br /> The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted <br /> Suzanne Caton, Secretary <br />
