UH, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY THAT HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT? ANY NEW UPDATES? NOPE.
SO I WILL SAY RIGHT NOW, UH, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THAT, MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYTHING, UM, THAT WE NEED PUT INTO PLACE FOR THAT.
UH, THE THINGS THAT ARE STILL, UH, UP IN THE AIR WILL BE OUR GUEST SPEAKER.
UH, SO WE DO HAVE TWO INDIVIDUALS, UM, WHO HAVE SHOWN INTEREST IN, UH, STEPPING UP TO BE THE GUEST SPEAKER.
UM, AND THEN WE WILL DISCUSS THOSE.
UH, BUT WE ALSO NEED A PASTOR FOR THE INVOCATION AND BENEDICTION.
AND THEN WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHO, UH, WILL STEP IN TO BE THE MC.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING THE MC FOR THE EVENT, UH, BUT IF ANYBODY WANTS TO STEP INTO THAT ROLE OR, UH, DO THAT, UH, LET ME KNOW.
UM, REALLY, SO WORKING ON GETTING A GUEST SPEAKER, WORKING ON, UH, GETTING A PASTOR, UM, IF ANYBODY KNOWS ANYBODY THAT MAY BE FIT FOR THAT POSITION, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD SAY IS FOR A GUEST SPEAKER, WE KIND OF WANT, I MEAN, IT'S A VETERAN'S DAY EVENT, SO IF WE CAN FIND SOMEONE, UH, WHO IS EITHER A VETERAN OR ACTIVE DUTY, UH, OR HAS TIES TO THE VETERAN COMMUNITY, WHETHER THAT'S, YOU KNOW, A SPOUSE OF A VETERAN OR WHETHER THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEIR PARENTS SERVED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OR THEIR GRANDPARENTS SERVED, UH, THAT WAY IT'S KIND OF TIED INTO WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE DOING.

UH, HE IS A JUDGE, JUDGE, UH, BRANDON MCLEAN.
SO, UH, THEY HAVE SHOWED INTEREST IN BEING GUEST SPEAKERS.
UH, I'LL BE REACHING OUT TO THEM THIS WEEK, UH, TO KIND OF GO OVER, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S A FIT FOR US.
SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANYBODY ELSE WHO THEY FEEL WOULD BE, UM, GOOD FOR THAT, UH, BRING IT UP AND LET US KNOW.
ANYTHING ELSE? WE'RE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD THIS WEEK.
UM, WE WANT TO DISCUSS THE LOCATION AND THAT WAS BROUGHT UP LAST TIME.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR VETERANS DAY? WELL, I'LL ASK YOU THIS QUESTION.
HOW MANY OF YOU PLAN ON BEING HERE FOR VETERANS DAY? TWO, THREE.
OKAY, SO EVERYBODY, SO WE'LL HAVE ALL HANDS ON DAY.
UM, ARE WE INTERESTED, ARE THE, UM, ARE WE GOING TO GET THE UM, OR JRTC FROM THE SCHOOL? HAVE WE TALKED WITH THEM? SO THAT WILL BE PART OF OUR PLANNING.
UH, NORMALLY WE HAVE EITHER WAYNE COME OUT OR WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP WITH WRIGHT STATE AND WE'LL EITHER HAVE WAYNE OR WRIGHT STATE.
SOME, IF WE COULD, WE COULD POSSIBLY DO BOTH OF THEM, UH, AND JUST HAVE EACH ONE OF THEM DEAL WITH THE DIFFERENT TASKS.
I KNOW WRIGHT STATE DOES THE, UH, FOLDING OF THE FLAG CEREMONY, UH, AS PART OF THEIR, THEIR TRIBUTE.
[00:15:01]
IF WE CAN, UH, RIGHT NOW WOULD BE THE PERFECT TIME TO START PLANNING THAT, REACHING OUT TO THEM AND SEEING, HEY, IF WE HAVE WAYNE COME IN AND DO, UH, MAYBE COLORS, WE'LL HAVE, UH, JLTC FROM RAY STATE COME IN AND DO THEIR FLAG FINE CEREMONY.IS IT JUST COMING DOWN TO LIKE TALKING WITH, SORRY, I'M SORRY, RAISE HIS HAND.
BUT IS IT JUST TALKING TO THE, THE COMMANDER? YOU TURN YOUR MIC ON? IS IT JUST TALKING TO THE COMMANDER AND SCHEDULING IT WITH THEM? YEP.
IT'S JUST GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THEM, UM, MAKING SURE THAT THEIR SCHEDULE ALIGNS WITH WHAT IT IS THAT WE HAVE.
UM, AND THAT THEY'RE, THEY HAVE THE AVAILABLE PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND, AND DO IT.
DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF WHAT'S REMAINING TO BE DONE FOR THE EVENT? SO WE DO HAVE A LIST.
UNFORTUNATELY HE WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT TONIGHT.
UM, BUT WE CAN SEND THAT OUT IN OUR NEXT EMAIL AS FAR AS, UH, WHERE WE STAND.
AND WE DO HAVE A LIST THAT GOES FROM 20 DAYS, 90 DAYS ON, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT IS THAT WE SHOULD BE AT, WHAT NEEDS TO STILL BE DONE AND ALL OF THAT.
SO, UM, HE WOULD'VE HAD THAT TONIGHT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE'S NOT HERE.
SO TO THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO, I ENCOURAGE SOME OF THE NEW MEMBERS.
YOU CAN GO IN THE PAST YEARS MEETING AGENDA MINUTES AND FIND THE, THE, THE PAST TIMELINES.
ALL THAT INFORMATION IS ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE FOR REVIEW OF, OF WHAT, BASICALLY WHAT WAS PLANNED AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
THAT TIMELINE WAS AVAILABLE FROM LAST YEAR FOR BOTH THE, THE MEMORIAL DAY AND THE VETERAN'S DAY EVENT.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT THAT AND JUST KIND OF GO BY THERE.
IT'S KIND OF THE SCRIPT THAT WE GO BY.
SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE THAT AS WELL.
YEAH, AND OUR SCRIPT DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE.
SO I MEAN, WE'LL ADD SOME THINGS.
MAYBE WE WILL ADJUST IT 'CAUSE WE HAVE TWO GUEST SPEAKERS OR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, LIKE LAST YEAR WE HAD THE, UM, VBO ON, I FORGET WHAT IT'S CALLED, THE VBO ON WHEELS, THE VETERAN MOBILE CENTER FOR, I'M BUTCHERING THAT, BUT THEY CAME OUT AND, AND THEY WERE PART OF OUR, UM, EVENT.
SO WE'LL HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT, THAT MAY CHANGE.
BUT THE OVERALL FLOW OF THE SERVICE PRETTY MUCH STAYS THE SAME.
WE'LL HAVE, UH, GUEST SPEAKERS ARE INVOCATION BENEDICTION, AND, AND IT KIND OF JUST FOLLOWS THE SAME SUIT.
I CAN GET OTHER, HAWKINS SAID THAT HE BE WILLING TO COME TO ALL OUR EVENTS.
SO WHAT I WOULD SAY, UH, IF YOU ARE REACHING OUT TO ANYBODY, UH, AS FAR AS GUEST SPEAKING OR DOING THE PASTORAL UH, DUTIES, SHOOT THAT IN THE EMAIL.
UM, SO THAT WE CAN BRING IT UP AND SAY, OKAY, WELL OUR NEXT MEETING WE'VE REACHED OUT TO THIS PERSON, THIS INDIVIDUAL, UH, AND THEY'VE AGREED.
AND THEN AS A COMMISSION WE'LL AGREE ON, YOU KNOW, OKAY, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE LINED UP FOR GUEST SPEAKERS.
THESE ARE THE, YOU KNOW, HOWEVER WE SEE FIT TO BE THE INDIVIDUAL THAT GETS TO SPEAK.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? UH, THE LAST TWO THINGS THAT WE HAVE COMING UP.
SO NEXT MONTH ON THE FIFTH, FROM SIXTH TO EIGHTH IS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT.
UH, AND THAT NORMALLY TAKES PLACE OVER AT WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE CHANGING THE LOCATION THIS YEAR.
UM, SO IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE TYPICALLY GO OUT AND WE'LL SET UP A TENT.
UH, SO IF YOU GUYS ARE ABLE TO BE THERE FOR THAT TWO HOURS, UH, WE'LL PASS OUT FLYERS, DO SOME INFORMATION.
AND NORMALLY WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS WE TRY TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN FROM, UM, LIKE THE VA AND WE'LL GET SOME OF THEIR INFORMATION AND THEIR BROCHURES AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO PASS OUT, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
SO THE 21ST ANNUAL STAND DOWN FOR THE VA WILL BE ON OCTOBER 2ND.
UH, AND THIS WILL TAKE PLACE AT BUILDING 3 0 5, WHICH IS THE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM AND THEATER.
AND THAT'S GONNA BE AT 10:00 AM UH, IS WHEN, WHAT TIME REGISTRATION BEGINS.
SO MR. WINDSOR ASKED ME TO PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT AS WELL, BUT WE WON'T BE OR SO FOR THAT INFORMATION, WE WON'T ACTUALLY BE THERE.
SO THAT'S JUST INFORMATION PUTTING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.
UH, OCTOBER 2ND, 2026 AT 10:00 AM IS WHEN OPEN REGISTRATION STARTS AND THAT'S WHERE THE 21ST ANNUAL STAND DOWN
[00:20:03]
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANYTHING EXCITING, COMMENTS, CONCERNS? 4TH OF JULY PARADE? IT, IT WAS REALLY COOL.
UM, IT WAS A, IT, UH, IT WAS, IT WAS HOT, BUT, UM, I THINK IT WAS, YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY COOL TO ENGAGE WITH THE, THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE OUT THERE.
THERE WAS A LOT OF REALLY GOOD ENERGY AND, UM, FOR THOSE THAT MISSED IT, WE, WE, WE REALLY HAD A, A REALLY GOOD TIME.
SO HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR IT'LL FIT, YOU KNOW, INTO YOUR SCHEDULES AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO JOIN US.
AND I MEAN, I, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO DO MORE.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE GET MORE PEOPLE NEXT YEAR, THEN YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE WILL THROW TOGETHER A FLOAT OR SOMETHING.
ANYTHING GOOD? UH, WHAT WAS THE DATE FOR THE NIGHT OUT? I'M SORRY.
UH, THAT IS AUGUST 5TH FROM SIX TO 8:00 PM I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, RELATIVE TO LIKE THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE.
SO I, UM, VOLUNTEERED AND WORKED LIKE A CITY BOOTH AND, UM, IT WAS ALSO, THIS PARTICULAR BOOTH WAS ALSO WITH THE CULTURE AND DIVERSITY COMMITTEE OF HUBER.
UM, AND WE PROBABLY HAD ONE, I WASN'T AT THE PARADE, BUT I WONDER LIKE IN FUTURE YEARS, COULD WE POTENTIALLY DO BOTH? LIKE IF WE HAVE A BANNER IN THE PARADE, COULD WE TAKE THAT BANNER? AND SO IF SOMEBODY IS WORKING A BOOTH, LIKE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY, BUT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE SIGNAGE, THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROMOTE OUR COMMISSION.
SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE BANNERS, WE HAVE, UM, TENTS.
UH, I, I THINK THAT OUR HOPE IS THAT WE HAVE COMMISSION MEMBERS WHO ARE ABLE TO GO OUT AND PROMOTE THE COMMISSION.
UM, WE COULD ASK THE CITY TO PUT, PUT IT UP, BUT WHAT I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN IS PEOPLE COME UP AND HAVE QUESTIONS AND BE LIKE, OH, WELL NO ONE THERE AND NO ONE BE THERE.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO VOLUNTEER.
BASICALLY WE HAVE SOME BANNERS THAT THEY'RE SIMILAR WHAT YOU'RE DISCUSSING OKAY.
AND THEY ALSO, SOME PARTICULAR MILITARY POPUP TENT THAT WE USE FOR THOSE OCCASIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, THEY'LL BE AVAILABLE AT THE NATIONAL RUNOUT.
I THINK KEVIN TAKES A BIG PART IN THAT EVERY YEAR.
UM, SO THEY'LL BE THERE AT THAT EVENT FOR THAT AND KIND OF THE SAME DISPLAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO THAT EVENT THAT YOU WOULD SEE FOR THIS UPCOMING EVENT.
AND SPEAKING OF KEVIN MCDONALD, WE DO HAVE, UM, THE MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT.
I DON'T HAVE THE DATES FOR THAT.
I WANNA SAY IT'S IN SEPTEMBER.
YOU REMEMBER THE LAST, FROM LAST YEAR.
SO WELL, WE'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ON THAT NEXT MONTH, BUT WE HAVE THE, UH, MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT THAT WILL HAPPEN, UH, WITH WAYNE THIS YEAR.
IT'S GONNA BE KIND OF COOL BECAUSE WE HELPED DESIGN THE JERSEYS FOR, FOR THAT GAME.
AND I THINK, SO WAYNE HAS GOT A NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, SO WE NEED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM, PUT FACE TO NAME, BUT, BUT THAT'LL BE SOMETHING, UH, ONCE WE GET THE INFORMATION, UM, I'LL HAVE KEVIN PUT THAT OUT AS FAR AS THE DATES AND THE TIMES FOR THAT AS WELL.
WHAT'S A TENT? WE WERE, I WAS IN THE AIR FORCE.
GOTTA BREAK EVERYTHING DOWN FOR THESE AIR FORCE GUYS, MAN.
SO IT HAS LEGS AND THEN IT EXTENDS UP LIKE AN, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
YOU GUYS KNOW THIS ONE'S CAMOUFLAGE.
YOU GUYS KNOW ROOFS AND CAVIAR? HOTEL.
MEANING, UH, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE, MIKE, IS THERE ANYTHING, UM, I JUST, I'D JUST LIKE TO REITERATE THE VETERAN'S DAY EVENT A LITTLE BIT.
UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF YOU NEW MEMBERS I COULD, I, LIKE I SAID, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME TIMELINES IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, BRING IT TO THE PRE TO THE COMMISSION, UM, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
I'M SURE THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR IDEAS AND, AND THINGS TO HELP IMPROVE ANY KIND OF EVENT WE HAVE.
UM, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ARE NEW, SO I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THOSE THINGS.
AND IF, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS? I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME TO THE COMMISSION WITH THOSE, UM, BRING THOSE IDEAS FORWARD.
UM, AND, AND EVEN FOR FU EVEN FUTURE EVENTS FOR NEXT YEAR.
LIKE YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH TWO NOW.
[00:25:01]
I THINK MAYBE WE WILL BE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS WITH THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT.SO THOSE KIND OF THINGS, IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE SCRIPTS THAT THE INVOLVEMENT AND TALK WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS TO GET FAMILIARIZED WITH THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
SO EACH OF YOU KIND OF FAMILIAR WITH WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, AND BASICALLY WHAT THE COMMISSION TWO IS, YOU KNOW, TO READ WHAT CHARLES SAID IS, YOU KNOW, LOOKING FOR SOME, SOME BETTER IDEAS AND MORE THINGS TO DO, UM, TO, TO, TO IMPROVE ANY KIND OF EVENTS THAT WE'RE SPONSORING AND TRY TO IMPROVE THE VETERAN COMMUNITY HERE.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT IS SIX TWENTY SEVEN AND WE CALL THE MILITARY AND VETERANS OF AFFAIRS COMMISSION CLOSE.
