Good morning everyone. Uh well before we go into some of the things I'm going to do is go through uh some of the things which might be coming up and uh talking with Chris uh on having maybe the dogs
the uh comfort dogs and uh have Tim Cruz come back sometime in early spring too because it's always good to have >> it's always good to have Tim and also Joe from the sheriff's department, but
usually they come together anyway, but anyway, our January meeting will be on January 6 if anyone has uh taken notes on it. And our speaker will be Dalon Benoit. He is the
speaker uh for January 6 and every meeting on February 3rd. Someone just asked me if we're going to cancel the We did that at one time. We and then what we do now is if weather is not
going to be good around our February meeting which will be on February 3rd. I mean we get enough Okay, we have some people in the back there. So, can you hear me, Chief? >> So, anyway, the the February 3rd
meeting, uh, we're going to have uh Maria and it Jean, how do you pronounce that last name? Jean. >> Is that what how you pronounce it? >> Okay. Anyway, she's going to be here for the meeting and she's from the American
Red Cross and that'll be on February 3rd. And those are the only two that I have now that have going to be uh will be our speakers. We have about four or five that we don't have the dates yet for them. So we don't put them ahead of time.
I don't know if the fire department with the fire department uh could you have someone here from uh say March or April or so for a speaker would you think you would
think that would be possible? I know you never know who can be here, who can't be because of the uh situation you have with the ambulance is going out all the time. You you don't know. Anyway,
anyway, chief, if uh something comes up, you have someone want to be on as a speaker, let me know and uh we can put that person on. Darlene, Darlene, you you look you you got two
people in mind to be speakers. So what? So that's from that's for match. All right. Would you let Gan know which one it's going to be and Yeah. And then she can let me
know and who it's going to be and so forth. Okay. All right. Thank you. >> Anybody from sheriff's department want any anything doing that? Uh any anyone
wants to speak up for one of our speakers? just give her the information with Okay, I guess that's uh that's about it. Uh the only other thing of course we have every December is who's going to
stay on who is going to leave and uh who might want to take the position so I guess so I can hear you anyway uh we start with the secretary and I just talked to Judy Judy's Judy Vraudis she's
wants to stay on as secretary for triad head. Uh, we have the treasurer and uh I don't know if she wants to give us the money or not. Darlene, would you like to would you like to turn off turn all the money we have left on
Triad and give it to us so we can spend it? How How much do we have left? Well, any amount that you can find that you're not needing it, we could use it for something. Okay, we'll try to use
it. Okay. So, so Darene, you are noted as the treasurer. You want to stay on this treasure? All right. The uh last thing of course is the uh position of chairman of Triad.
I've just finished I just finished my 12th year as chairmans. Uh now that I've now that I've reached the age of 91, I I will I will stay on if you want, but is there anyone that would like to
become chairman of Triad at all? wants to be uh the chairman for this coming year. Well, I'm not I do you want to I'm not pushing anyone at all. I know
I know Jean, you're busy with the school and other things that you're on or the library and stuff. >> Okay, we we'll put you we put you in position for the pos for uh If you decide to change your mind, you
can let me know. Okay. So, uh, so start January. Jean Jean Clling will be on as your chairman and I'll finish my 12th year today.
Any I I enjoyed it. I I think it's a lot of fun. And so to me, it's no work at all because to to to do a position like this one here, and Jean's good for it, you have to be uh someone that likes to do
things with people. You like to get to talk with people. you need to get around and make yourself known and just act like you all normally do, but try to be a people's people and a lot of people can't do that. So,
but I found it easy because I I did enough of it when I was in the Navy. I didn't the captain's gman and I had to do a lot of stuff for that person. But even through the years as being on the finance committee here in
Halifax, I was on the finance committee for 13 years and that was easy. I ran the uh the business association for Halifax and Plimpmpton. I had that for nine years. So this stuff here is so
easy to do. And I know Jean, she she she'd be good at it. But all of you have a part in it. Anytime uh you want to do something, you have someone you want to be a speaker, just uh let us know. Let us know who you
want because uh we we like speakers from everything. The only thing that I I didn't have speakers for was anything that had to do with uh going up for elections and town selectmen and some of that because that some of that stuff
wouldn't be too interested in all of us. it it's they're pushing from themselves. So we kept the politics out of triad most of the time. So I guess that's all I have and the rest of the meeting was going to be on
our annual Christmas party and I guess everybody is pro what they want. We have coffee, we have stuff and a lot of stuff to be open. Chief, before I forget, is there anything that you want to mention
at all going on with the fire Amen. Well, thank you for all your help and also for the members of the fire department for them and thank the fire department for all the things that they do and especially now with everything
else that's going on in the world. To be a fireman, it's not to be just a fireman, is it? You have to be also be a policeman and carry all of the stuff the policeman have to carry on. You have to have bulletproofs as a fireman, which is things are just getting bad. But we
appreciate chief all of your guys here in Halifax, what they do. So you can thank them all for their duties and because when they leave at home in the morning, they like to know they're going to go home at night.
Also, Joe, the police department, it's same with you guys. Leaving in the morning, you hope you're going to go home at night. Uh, and it's a tough tough job now. It's not not like it used to be, but we all pray for you and we
all hope that everything goes well in Halifax. You know, we don't have too much trouble here, but you never know, do you, Joe? No. When you go into someone's house, you don't know what's going to happen. So, thank you, Joe, and
all the policemen in town to what they do. We all appreciate it. What are you trying to tell me? >> Thank you. Okay, we we'll take whatever you say. Whatever you say, Darling.
Whatever you say, Darling's fine. Think she wants to say now? >> Does she want to get up? You want to get up and speak? >> Okay, let's uh let's end the meeting. Let's uh let's go have our coffee and whatever we want.
Okay, thank you very much everyone and thank you for everyone that you did for me for the 12 years and I hope it uh it carries on everybody who still keep coming and uh we can add to uh to our sessions that we have.
Thank you very much and I'm going to be coming to all the meetings anyway. So if you need something, want some information, I'll be here. And Joe, she's here in most all the meetings, too. So
thank you very much.
