Vets Dinner update meeting immediately after the Board meeting.
Menu was discussed and this was approved. We approved the $13.95 (per person) menu with these choices: Fettucine Chicken and Marinated pork chop. Wild Rice and Garlic mashed potatoes; lettuce salad and cole slaw; green bean casserole. No appetizers and no desert.
Adam will head up a committee to talk to the Winery about the menu and these other items: 1) we want tables on both sides and expect 250 guests. Put our podium on the stage on the east side, set up TV in the west side so people can see the speaker from their table.
Chris will prepare a letter to all Chamber members (450+ letters). We need help putting those letters together so we will meet at 4:00 pm in Chris’s office (7th Street—by PO) on August 16th. Please plan to help should only take about an hour.
We want to personally contact all donors from last year the first week of September (after the letters go out). Nick will bring this up at a Monday lunch.
KHS principal Pete Haefs has 2 students who can sing the anthem at the dinner. Nick will f/u to make sure this is arranged.
Next meeting September 5 at 7 am at QBeans. Motion to move the Board meeting to the same date/time. Passed.
