Old Business

FIRE WORKS…..
SAT 12th 1:00 at the Riverlawn Christen Church K96 and Meridian 4243 Meridian. Lunch and drinks provided Topics of discussion credit cards; product knowledge, safety, selling, new regulations, and individual register training.

The product should be here the 24th once it arrives we will have to provide 24 hr support. Two people will be needed for the night shift, cots provided. The selling will begin on the 26th. We will need around 4-5 people per shift (10 – 4) (4 – 10) Send an e-mail to Rick B or just put it on paper and give it to him.

OLD SETTLERS …..
Old Settlers is just around the corner. If you know what goes on during this event let me know. I have started a checklist but I am not sure I have it all. We ill need people to man the booth, run the horse shoe tournament, and cook for the Connie Island just to name a few. If any one can get us water at a good price (cheep or free) this will help us make money.

New Business

FLAG POLES…
The idea of perching three new flagpoles and flags. AMERICAN, KANSAS, and AMERICAN LEGION. Jim has been pricing this out for us. These will be ceremonial flags only. Cost is around $125 - $150.

KITCHEN…
If you haven’t been here to eat lately come back and try again. Reana has done a wonderful job in the kitchen. Her specials have been great. The kitchen was inspected by the Health Department last week. They only came up with 4 minor infractions; minor infractions are any thing that can be fixed on the spot. I.E. an old wooden cutting board not disposed of and new one was right there.

HONOR FLIGHT…
Benjamin Brooks wants to go on the Honor Flight, he is a member of the post and we have elected to pay the fee for anyone who is a member, however the Riders wish to pay for him.

VA…
Sept 17 is the stand down for the VA. They will be colleting clothing and wash article no mouthwash for the homeless vets. Children’s clothing is also needed so if you have any thing you are going to get rid of save it for that. If we need to have a collection spot we will set one up.

CLEAN UP DAY….
Before Old settlers and after the Fire Works sales we need to have a clean up day at the POST. This will be late July or early August. The next time you drive around the building please take notice of the new grease dumpster. Asonjia found a company that takes it for free and Dwane has started to clean the area up Thanks.
