favor i right um close order of business we do review adopt amendments from the March make a motion to approve the meeting oh give me a second let's Let's actually read it yeah I did it already
you're here early motion on the table to approve the minutes from March [Music] 20 March 3rd all those in favor wait a second do I have a second do I have a second
yes all those in favor i about some old business veterans banner application approvals um we had several submitted and last meeting I actually went through the whole list with and let her know
which one were approved did you ever get that there was some that you wanted more information yes so I don't know if you want those banners to actually be made or No I don't want them made because some people just submitted a driver's
license and that's it i mean I don't So which one do you actually banners the one pre-approved okay so I can send you a listing if you need that all right so let me send you that list again okay um yeah ask for an extension so the end of this week I can still submit the
information can we reach out to those people some way email maybe a letter or something i'll give you the I'll give you the list of those approved and those disapproved and why they were disapproved oh yeah because it was mainly lack of information most of it was well one
person showed me no indication it was ever a veteran i mean he gave me his place and it didn't even say veteran on it you know i mean so I'm like okay that's uh there's nothing there's no need to full team uh and then other people was what's their nexus to Miami
Lakes you know um uh and and one thing I I I want to propose a rule on the veteran banner application um by the way the two-year renewal thing Ed you know it started off bumpy but everybody's like "Okay that's a good idea." There was a little bit of
bumpiness but I think it was a good idea and it's a fair it's fair that way so it's a fairest way and I'm not and I'm not bumping people off but I want to change it with uh the town indicated that they cannot assure the protection
of privacy information and the DD214 has a lot of privacy yes socials and everything so I'm going to make a motion that we no longer require DD214 we just we can require VA ID cards from the VA yeah or the VA service letter because in
the VA on the website you compel down the service letter not the benefits letter the service letter it says your years of service and that's it and it doesn't have any uh personal private information so I'd like to make that motion that we now do not require DD214s
we just require VA ID card or copy of VA ID card or the VA service verification letter that you can you know download so just for clarification everyone that's served in the military gets a VA card
they have to apply for the VA but I'll Very easy very easy if you go and and apply for your benefits like someone could get out of the military and just never go see the VA yeah but I don't think those are the type of people that
would want to Yeah yeah general you say proof of military service uh no um because I wanted to be proof from official sources well that would be that would be the only group well no because I got one of the people
who provided us proof of military service was this organization that is a private organization and it wasn't like a military organization they were just saying you know Joe Joe blows Veterans Group and this is certified that this guy's a veteran this is easy it's very
easy to win oh no i got I got I got that everybody Everybody has it get it i got I got I got Do I question you apply for it takes two weeks and they send it to you yeah it's really easy and then you know what if you apply online for the military benefits you know on the VA you can generate the letter right there yeah
and it comes on it's easy i think I I don't want I don't want to play cop i want to make it easy as a committee you know and so I don't got time to investigate every you know crazy little thing and look it up so you make a motion so I made a motion that we that
we don't require DD214 that we just require VA ID cards and uh the VA uh verification of service letters that's it that way we don't have to deal with any personal private information being out second seconded from by the all
those in favor okay moving on sorry go ahead so I included this spreadsheet so you all have um copies of what you should of those who have reapplied so since this is a new policy that we're you know instating this year
I didn't so we've only had around 23 so the word hasn't gone out I think enough these are folks who have real so on the left side you can see on that see that was my point I think I mean you guys
obviously part of the community but I think the point was application there's no way forward right is how I remember it everyone that already had um a banner was in until 2027 yes right so I don't think you have
to reapply until at a minimum 2027 is the first time they have to reapply that doesn't solve the space issue it's already a current problem so that's why we Well I think eventually it will solve the space issue eventually yes but we kind of Well right now we have too many
yeah make a bigger road right we'll figure that we'll figure out a solution for that um in a later time when French time happens okay so the remember that the deadline
is May 12th they need the mans to put them up by 12 yeah because when I talk to some councilmen they're like saying "We have plenty of street space." And I'm like well councilman you need to talk to the town the town man side to saying we don't and I don't want to be
caught in the middle so two councilmen you know um Councilman Sanchez uh and Morera and um Fernandez um they all said "We have plenty of streets."
I'm like well I don't want to be in the middle so they could I will I'll text them to ask them address their issues with the town management okay so they can sort it out and give us clear guidance so I'm not being told one thing from this side and one thing from one
that side and then doing nothing because uh I'm being told two different things okay all right thank you very much so status of proceeds for dispersement on the razor run um when's the when are they getting the checks i mean I know
the town got it money right away the 18,800 cuz you guys are holding the fund but uh um the American Legion post mainly when they getting their check and so we can move to the veterans family
scholarship i think it's my item 9D yes we'll move on to that later um okay town council report after actions um quite honestly they kind of approved everything and they really like
beauty day so that's great um they really appreciate everything we did and everything we're doing and they like the fact that we are supporting all local things with our with our funday razor reindeer run you know it's not like going to these national organizations and the
money's never in Miami Lakes and stuff like that it's all going to us so they like that okay um new business duty day tree plant that's what we have one thing about town council um the improvement community is
trying to go in June and that's the next time you all are supposed to report so I was going to ask if you're willing to switch dates with them when's their next When's October that's So since you just went in March yeah that's fine okay oh
um okay judy here i think we have a brochure yes oh in agenda packet you'll see there's an invitation program i just want to see what you all think adjustments is the tree already there yes I have some
images it was actually planted today and you have the location so you can pass around so it's at that spot and there's pictures of it oh okay that's actually it's actually it's going to be near
okay that's actually right when you walk in so this is what the program would look like so there it is those times happen yes oh so it's 100gallon um silver buttonwood
tree favorite there you go okay so is that the spot where it's going to be or is it It's already there you flip flip it around you see a picture of this is the actual tree and it's at that spot so more than it's a
picture packet that's the total amount for the tree was 1575 okay and we have I know I saw the budget,5 tree was a,000 bucks with golden shell
fill out we can have the right tree i mean you couldn't make a 2x4 out of that it is above six foot which means it's pretty tall actually looks like it's overt
so it's above Judy's height which was her name [Music] do we have the QR code sign with her name on it no that's what I wanted to be discussed with you all because I believe at the last meeting there was some concerns about the code so I'm not sure how we
want to move well I gotta tell you I think uh there's always going to be some risk always you know and I think this is the technology we have right now and I think it's the best technology we have so if we can get a sign a little sign that mounted with a QR code with their
bio and their picture when you click on it and our name on the sign that way people are like "Okay name's on." That's a little prime spot too it is a prank spot when you walk in if you're walking Yeah okay so let's look at the uh order
of events up okay just send me a copy i'll do it right um but there is a another event in the town occurring on the same day in time for cultural affairs their mother's day event just so you're aware but it's in
different parts of Okay all right [Music] june 12 right they contacted Isabella we've been on advertising this event or just private
event i think what I'm going to do is u take a picture of this and I'm going to put it out to uh do like Okay please do and then I can email it to Gary and the Legion like the Legion folks there
because she's raised $150,000 veteran you know Legion's gone over $12,000 due to her efforts so I'm pretty sure and I think May 10th happens to be the day we have our Legion meeting because we're doing it that way that day we set it up that way yes I think that's So we set it
up that way you email it to her so then she can let the people of the dealership know as well i think so anyhow yeah so in fact I think that's a regular Saturday meeting so we'll just force those guys that you know there okay they'll be in Mary Collins anyhow
so we'll just do it there so we won't promote it on our social media website it will be more No okay anyway so I want to check with you and what time what time is the actual event 10 a.m yeah but our meeting begins at 10 a.m yeah it doesn't matter our meeting is going to be Guess what our meeting is going to be first thing
it's going to be this it's going to be inside or outside it's inside Mary Collins meet again Saturday at 11:2 yeah and then we're all gonna walk out to the tree or how's Yeah we're gonna do everything inside Mary Collins and then we're gonna walk out and look at the tree take a picture with a nice golden
shovel you know and then that's it and I'll walk back in and Mary Collins eat you know do all the other stuff so let's go through the sequence of events um welcome remarks national anthem do we have a national anthem for
color that can do that we are the committee it would be nice what about the towns i don't know are they available i don't yeah we could talk to the uh He's always lost
uh officer Amador yeah I got his number i can call us right away but uh I think we should request we should request to the town because it's a town he's not going to do the prayer yeah is going to do the prayer he'll be there or somebody will be there he'll be
there yeah we we have the committee anymore yeah um as far as the national anthem we can just play music you know we don't have a singer does anybody know of a singer are we going to have the towns PA system or should I bring the one from the
Br you put in the request yeah the one we have is just we put in the request for sure we get it from the town we'll do that for the meeting that way all right then I will introduce the
honore and then she makes comments and then we all step out take a look the tree there's no planting ceremony we just all pretend to hold shovels will they have a ceremony shovel right there uh I can ask public works but also people need that request form
just have everything we want in there it'd be nice it would really be nice too if we could get it in Miami or something yeah i usually look at our website for upcoming events and work off of that but I can also email them all right so an idea for national anthem
how about that young lady that does the national anthem we think that's Do you have her contact no maybe has it yeah she's there a few times she's good she's good so see she's available i know we have to pay her
figure out what the honorary force invite the uh council members and take pictures maybe the um works or German German yeah send your
invitation okay but he's he's the one that takes care of good looks good like the program i have any comments uh concerns about the program [Music] looks good so and uh you said around 50
perhaps so I know how many to print i think about you know I think it'll be well free food veterans show up it's true you know it's true
um okay uh the Veterans of Miami Lake site um next item you you sent me something Isabelle or was it uh um Clarisel where they had already something kind of set
up like that other people meeting yeah so that that would be perfect so basically um what do I have to do to have you construct the site and we can start posting the pictures what how's it how we do that well on we can work on on the
communications end we just need to know what is actually being put on the website basically a picture copy of whatever the banner well these are the decommission banners right so um well
there's not any decommission right now it's actually going to host every banner every single Fred did it a few years ago you made a poster out of it where all the names are listed you had little heading at the top and it really looked nice i don't know who raised it from or how it was telling you yeah with this
with website what they have is basically you have the your picture then you can have a link and so what I want to do is I want to populate it with everybody's name and picture and then maybe have an alphabetical thing you know going across you know A through Z been clicked here because I you know if
I want to find my name hopefully it'll be in there alphabetically but it may not be it may be in there as you you got the banners right and so but you still want to be able to link to alphabetically however they want to do it so they can family can find her people as fast as
possible so um yeah I think the last thing we were looking at was what's the cost for development of that site i know when I briefed the town council they were they thought it was a really good idea that was a really good idea and they and they like it because
they're doing this 25th anniversary ad hoc committee and I'm part of the committee and they're trying to create after 25 years they're trying to create like a historical branch you know so they're trying to lay the groundwork automatically for like well now we're going to have all the veterans of Miami
Lake site you know and I think you know soon we're going to have a site that has previous mayors previous council me and their you know accomplishments whatever Um sort of like you know in the active duty where we have a command board and
you look at every CEO that ever been in command of that unit every sergeant major that's ever been a sergeant major that unit and you know and it's kind of neat to see that you know I think we're probably going to do that here in the town lakes you know have a mayor and
since we can't have every council member because there's so many of them we'll probably have a a plaque with names and a QR code you can go down there and figure it out so these little things are running through my head all right moving right along banners do go on the website when
eventually they be commissioned what would you all like to do with the actual physical banners i don't think there was ever a decision on that well I mean I guess the next 10 or whoever originally submitted it you know if we have their contact information send them an email and uh tell them they need to pick it up
um I wouldn't make it like a major like muscle movement being like "Hey it's at this location it's on you to pick it up." You know what I mean like you would make them come and get it right yeah for sure yeah for sure yeah so tell them it's here and you know tell them that you know unfortunately we cannot
stockpile these things and it'll be disposed of at the end of the month you know you give them one month to do it three days right memorial Day um our Memorial Day ceremony i think the first thing we need
to do is um figure out a Monday um Memorial Day is a national holiday yeah yes all right so there's nobody going to be here on Monday um and no one's going to be here on Saturday no
one's gonna be on Sunday so I'm thinking about doing the ceremony on Friday morning right in front of the town council town hall okay can I go ahead last year I think that um we had a very very successful one where they served it
was probably the best that committees ever had and we did it inside the Mary County calendar center i believe it was actually on Memorial Day and the tri was tremendous per brought the food in yeah we had over 150 people we ran out of
food it was big and it went off very very smoothly as a matter of fact you work straight all I did was fill in for you that's right do so i followed orders exactly the colonel told me well maybe maybe hey let's do it again on Memorial Day then maybe because
people will be back I guess and if and and those who care would would come on that day yes and the fact was cool it was inside and it is a holiday so can we reserve the Mary Collins Center we had it like what 10:00 a.m again was that
about the time i think it was 9:00 9:00 a.m i was a little late it was good we had lunch we had lunch afterwards wasn't the barbecue stay there so I think we began at 10:00 we had Yeah and by the time we finished the actual We didn't get started probably we wound up
being 15 20 minutes late but we were packed we didn't have enough chairs people sitting and uh the whole the whole ceremony lasted maybe an hour and 15 hour and 20 minutes all right so let's do it on actual Memorial Day and
Mary Mary Collins Center um so I have to make a motion what day 10:00 10 a.m so I make a motion that uh we do it at Mary Collins Center on actual Memorial Day 10 to 12 anyone want to second all those in favor hi all right
so do um again we're going to need a national anthem singer so once I pretty much ask her to do again we definitely need an singer and we need a color guard guard how many people do you think we have pardon me how many
people you think we met well we had we had over 150 last year we were counting the ones that were there i want to talk to the ones that pay their lunch we run out of food okay i want to talk to you all right that'll be fantastic yeah please do
no we Yeah we get you know surgery is fantastic thank you they do all right and uh basically what we're going to do is we're going to have veterans like we do we did every year um
what we do uh a major is basically I don't know did everybody receive this this is a print out of Congressional Medal of Honor winners who gave their lives who lost their lives earning a Congressional Medal of Honor which is the highest award United States government gives go ahead for uh service
i'm just letting you guys know um and so when you make the program if you could like put their pictures in the program okay um each one that's why I took pictures of them and then do a QR code that links their information that's what
uh Jonathan did links their information in the pro church and people can actually read it off their phones and so the ceremony is actually not a very long ceremony you know we do the national anthem you do the prayer and then it basically takes as long as it takes the
veterans from each branch of service to re you know Congressional Medal of Honors what we did rest though it seemed to be I think worked out pretty good um we had um we had a keynote speaker we had we had personal I did the
introduction but then we had a keynote speaker and spoke for maybe 10 minutes gary was the keynote speaker yeah he spoke for 10 15 minutes and then actually really turned out to be the keynote speaker and it just happened that way and he was really good was Mike
Coup mike Coup yeah he uh he was really good and if if possible if you know if we could get him again to come out he was just I mean everyone commented what what a great job he did but then okay let's do it that way then we don't we don't have to do this thing well I'm just saying we do
this along with this and then after and then we have the uh the one person as you suggested for each I'd like to but we had one and then we have a keynote speaker right after the reading of the medal of honors we had we had the introduction person come up and
introduce the keynote speaker at that point the um keynote speaker gave us 10 15 minutes not even that was 10 minutes i think they held to 10 minutes and then after that he introduced the first uh the first speaker okay read read the u the awards all right let's do it that
way and then the award person he the award person introduced the next person so you didn't have to have one in or or could do it again either way and then and then at the at the end after that was done uh we had I believe Manny Sig
got up who spoke and after that we had um was in the beginning so the only thing I would say is I think and you guys better than me i think after you do this it should be
immediately follow that's what I think absolutely i mean every Yeah like everyone can talk your keynote speaker can talk like let all the politicians talk keynote speaker speaks then whoever's you know from the same branch
that's reading how these people sacrificed their lives for our country yes and then tax i don't think after you read what these people did no one else should talk i agree agree in my opinion you know you're you're
right and and I'll be honest you know you know if it was Veterans Day we had we had you know Memorial Day is when we honor those who died right you know I don't want to hear somebody else's story to be honest I want to
honor those who are not with us who we can read about we've been a politician maybe introduce him to your What's he gonna say i have a brother i have a brother in that group that was killing Korea so what So what if you just suggest what
if you were go ahead you you would go ahead you would you would do the opening you would if if coup would if you wanted him or whoever to be the keynote speaker you would introduce him and then you would in turn come back um after the keynote speaker introduce whatever
whatever other town dignitaries they're going to speak at that point and then lastly go ahead and have the the uh the people from the uh read the Medal of Honor items and then uh and then you would after that you would make the attacks you would make the closing
remarks and do the sermon i think it gets really long you're talking about an hour sometime a long sermon an hour probably not even you have the reading of these things probably the longest thing it's probably
end of us it's probably 20 minutes okay the uh the introduction i mean I really I mean is Mike going to tell us the history about Memorial Day i mean it's I like Mike's a great speaker i like having him as a speaker but I really think that this point should be focused
on the laser as a laser on these guys right and these women who died for our country i mean it should be just laser focused because you know I get I don't know about you guys but when people come around to me and they go happy Memorial Day I'm like absolutely
not I at all and I have to correct I go it's not it's not a joyous occasion but it is in a way because we celebrate No it really isn't i'll tell you why it is okay because we celebrate we celebrate what these guys did it's because of these guys we're having the picnics and we know we honor what those guys did
right and that's and folks who take you know and have the picnics and stuff I don't really think they're thinking about these guys at all they're thinking that they're thankful that they have a day off to work to be honest with you that's a sad thing so that's why you know I want to focus you know
um these guys didn't wake up that day in homb and say "Today I'm going to die today." They were all thinking I got 30 days in a wake up 60 days in a wake up you know that's all they were thinking you know
um and they weren't thinking oh if I die this way I'm going to be celebrated no I just want to focus like a laser it's a it's a good ceremony it's a solemn ceremony um I think when we mix it in with people talking about their veteran service it just complates Veterans Day
that that wasn't done and that wouldn't be done i mean that that we skip that part with the idea of being and everything the same bill okay well let me just put it to a vote um okay so I make a motion that we keep this simple and solemn
um which which we have the sequence of events right now national anthem of prayer the breeding congressional medal of honor and then the playing of taps um I will offer the mayor a chance to say something um and uh but I'll remind them what the
events about well that was the idea and then and then the conclusion of the ceremony um if we have anybody wants to second that motion can I can I say something before we make the motion i don't think that that anything is different only the fact
that the the introduction person be that you would explain what Memorial Day is about i'm sure most people know what we reminded about and then I'll do that in my welcoming remarks in welcoming remarks and and then everything exactly as you said but the idea is even though
it truly is a solemn event but after after it's over we're going to have a c almost like a celebration of life at funeral we're having lunch you know it's it's a it's supposed to be a you know a celebration of life i think I mean I think it's a celebration of service and
sacrifice um but um we're honoring these folks um for that reason anyway so the motion's on the table second by PIO all those in favor I keep it simple and playing a taps who who can we get to play taps you know
anybody judy had somebody from high school band is that who played we had a t player there with Yeah trump guy that was gift was like a high school kid yeah high school kid with his music teacher
all right so we got that taken care of we're going to reach out to the national anthe all right moving right along veterans family scholarship program issues um so we have $11,280
um there's a few questions I have for discussion and and then maybe we can uh see if we can come up with an idea um in the past we've always concerned that we're not going to have a bunch of people put in for it because it won't
qualify let's assume we will all right um I kind of want to make it an amount that's pretty substantial to each family you know what I mean like about 2,000 bucks as a total with everybody who's getting $500 in um which is still
substantial but so what are your thoughts we limited it to five applicants who qualify first come first serve five applicants or 10 applicants or I mean that's sometimes how scholarships are you know scholarships are free money it's you have to apply
you have to get it you have to earn and sometimes you know when you apply for a scholarship or a grant it sometimes does go to the first person you you know what I mean or certain person that applies um but then there's the counterargument of what's wrong with
$500 to 20 people that that's my only thing i mean my thing is you know it's because then we have also the problem of you know thinking out loud okay so let's say the deadline is the 20th and now we have 20 applicants you know and they all qualify you know if we say something to the five now we're going to be picking
and choosing and I don't want to do that so okay so we'll just have a deadline um yeah stick to the deadline stick to the deadline you know so when's our deadline for this we got the money um
when does school begin june 5th all right yes maybe like somewhere around that when did we do it last year say maybe like I don't know but I I'll say if it ends June 5th say about June 20th or so
or even the you want to do that 30th yeah june 30th and then that's it july 1st or something like that yeah and then you can notify them and then still give them time to use it for whatever they want well start school the other limiting feature here is are we ready to
put this out there in the website and and advertise and solicit for this if you want the same like application like it was last year just changing the deadlines so you can put it live okay do you know what the deadline was last year it says May 3rd that we needed
all the applications oh wow we didn't give a lot of time at all didn't we extend it last year for lack of applications i remember so let's make it July what do you say july July 1st which is July 1 is a Tuesday yeah i mean that's clear concise right yeah so I
make a motion to make it July 1st is the deadline okay go ahead second by Mr fio and uh just put the notes last time yeah whatever autofill autofill autofill i should make it into
kind of like All right all those in favor i Okay so it's going to be July 1st will be the deadline for the application and uh it's going to be everybody who applies who qualifies will get a scholarship of some amount have a mom and chat about
reapplying if that is a thing or not yeah I think we were talking about that i mean she won last year they got two grand and that and did we say that we were going to do it every every two years and become reelible again or we didn't talk about
it did we no we man because the intent of it was originally for the demographic that was leaving their secondary school right high school and going to a postsecary education yeah
but now it's everybody right we opened it up to everybody that we didn't have in that universe now it's open up you're going to nail tech school you addition school hey you know it's great we have the prerequisite in that one we
sent out of who's eligible in the application for seniors only no no it's actually open to seniors seniors and veterans and uh spouses to school and stuff like and spouses of veterans here that are residents of
Miami Lakes and even the grandparents we even opened up to the grandparents i think it gonna be seniors they didn't say no to junior yeah we said no to juniors oh they're all seniors seniors seniors or like veterans going back or like
vocational school or anything like Yeah that they're they live in Miami Lakes they rather than Miami Lakes okay so what do you think about someone reapplying what's your thoughts so we're not doing juniors because the application just seniors
so we were also moving that was an issue should have never been juniors all right well let's make a motion to amend that so it makes just seniors um so basically it's a seniors and adult kids you know whatever school they're going to right so that live in Miami Lakes that are
veteran since we're already going to amend it yeah um should we talk about whether people can reapply yeah we should yes knock it out yeah good idea what are your thoughts i say no
i think once you've gotten it you take it away from somebody else that has had a chance has had a chance reapply after two years so you know we have folks that come and go out of Miami right that's the issue i don't blame her asking because it's No I would
you know that helps but see that then that the whole point is to help these kids right well part of me is saying that first time we should make first-time applicants qualified applicants will be priority any money left over well there
will be no amenity left over because we divided equally [Music] um it's tough but so the solution is reapply and in two years or one year i mean these kids
are in four-year programs you know most of them but like if the whole point is for kids of veterans or veterans to get help then why shouldn't they be able to reapply every year that's you get what I'm saying yeah I see what you're saying
that's a very profession coming out i didn't know what you're right no you're right scholarships and they were renewed every year you're right it can become something that they program for the budget you are right
they can yeah i didn't know that it was a veterans kids i thought it was just any No it's only students no this is all this is only this is a veterans family scholarship only veterans kids or veterans or veterans or
their just you know through the high school and I got my son as a junior now he wants to apply as a senior they can reapply as long as they have good so what I would say what I would say is a certificate of good standing exactly because you're not going to take the 500
but I think our application requires requires all that no renewing needs a good standing GPA right in other words in other words they can't have couldn't have taken the money last year dropped out of a certificate of good standing it must be ongoing education or I thought we've always
required no I think we bur out we required an applic ac acceptance letter we required an acceptance but you see what I'm saying like you drop out and then you still took the money now you're certain a certificate of good standing anytime you're in college like even sometimes
when you apply for a job you have to show certification that you're not kicked out exactly okay so we got three motions i'm have to be in Yeah if you're on work release in prison Yeah first motion is unless I can
combine them but well we did a motion for July 1 deadline did that count as one done okay so the next motion is that we modify it to only include seniors not juniors and I get a second from VI yes
all those in favor i and the third motion is to require any reapplications right that's right allow reapplications for those who received it before certificate of good standing from the
relicants must present certificate of good stand we need to put that in the application form that they have to present a certificate of good stand now previous hold on hold on hold on because like maybe I'm just giving an example maybe the kids start at Miami Dade right
and now they're transferring to a school like Fum wherever UF wherever point of the story is you can get the certificate of good standing but that doesn't necessar you get what I'm saying like either they might not be able to get it because they're no longer enrolled in
that program so they might need the acceptance letter from their new university but they wouldn't have they wouldn't have a letter of good standing yet yeah because they're like in that window yeah i'm not but I think that's fine i think we'll sort it out we'll be able to sort
out the graduate graduate and stuff application letter acceptance letter just so can we put a line in there can you can you'll state that you know that uh to be reviewed by I think I got I got
I got the application final approval I think it's it's like that already yeah it's right it's like that already right already right already right already right already right already right already right already right already right already right already and since you already have the applica or the approval the accept the acceptance letter I think of your thought i was just let me renew the motion no that's a
good point there is a lot of Miami day and FIU kind of people may in the middle you don't get caught right now the requirements are proof of residency proof of veteran service and transcript requirement on the application in addition to the actual there's no requirement of letter of acceptance or
anything sure yeah she's working on it yeah so maybe add either an acceptance letter since we're already taking juniors out you definitely should have an acceptance letter if you're a senior right
acceptance letter and if and then a certificate of good standing that's it yeah this is what we came last year because then the the the topic came up should we pay the money directly to the institution the school whatever that's I mean you got then we backed off
that way that's a very That would be a mess and they would take it yeah yeah take six months to find whatever be happy to hear this they will be banking again
oh yeah they made they made out they made out i was I was about to be one of his kids about to go back to school yeah yeah i just I just saw that the GI bill
allows for uh doctoral yeah so I think I'm gonna I think I'm going to do it so then either an acceptance letter or certificate of good standing from the institution right okay yeah or that was a motion
all those in favor sending the application so I can modify material so the certificate of good standing is an addition to the other yes right if you're either I would just say acceptance letter andor certificate of
good standing for the relic okay so I guess we revise it to make that right um any other issues so July 1 yeah that's good that was
reacts um what the one juniors seniors okay all right last item is 9B which is a new secretary election i got
one more item I want to draw just to bring up okay um anybody here wish to be the new secretary will you wish to be the new secretary it's not even the best i'm not the best
but okay i'll do it guys thanks i feel like I'll continue back in thank you very much appreciate it and thank you so much Chad for everything you've done for Ireland and we'll see you around campus i will be Yeah I live right here so
all right you wanted to say something yeah i just want to throw I just want to throw it out there because we want we're going to need to raise a lot of money to get this monument done and I'd like to see it in a while i can still see and I think that you know one of the ways it might be a fun way to raise some money
and it's been very successful with some other organizations would be a golf outing um the idea of a golf outing where uh we could have teams or golfer think you know we pay 100 bucks to play around of golf anyway so why not let it you know
and then you know why not let it come to the to our committee also you really you get sponsors in the same way you get sponsors for the corporate run you go out there and solicit sponsors for the golf i think it's easier of course the talk of the town is new
that Our Lady of the Lakes golf tournament is out of control when they pull in every year same thing oh yeah i think it was one did they get the Did they get the greens uh donated to them so they can I think they give you a
reduced game what you have to do is you you you contact and you say "Hey look I'd like to do this and they've got like a sales guy that has done a thousand golf tournaments and you basically walk the dog of creating an event." Yeah right no they're really good at that but
Miami Lakes Golf Club will not be done we're trying to do this they they won't be done till like November yes country but that's actually that's okay because that's okay we could play we plenty of time for planning yeah because that gives us time to plan it out and also we we're waiting for the
country club the country club land i see yeah the camera they're very good at like and and I know the director there too i can help out if need be the trunk we have a lot of time to get
sponsors that's I mean there we're doing our I mean we're doing our playhouse at the Trump $500,000 because like people want their name on that sponsor it's that if you guys can get Trump I think there's a
lot of money that's going to be tough trump I gota tell you what that's that's Well you're just worried about your golfers boom would be the I don't think we can afford the boom at least about $100 easily easily but I think you realistically if we could do it at the
new uh that's a great idea that would and it would be good i think we get companies to know yeah exactly there be that's not bad that's a good idea okay we'll look we'll look into it so can we set it can
we set a um Yes well can we go ahead and just set set it in motion that this is something that's going to be part of I think what we do is we have to create a subcommittee for explore the idea and since it was your idea golf you are the chair of that subcommittee you play the
most golf out of all of us well we Well we'll get the subcommittee got it under the chair of the No no no you're the chair you know the rule you know the rule you know the rule of active duty you I have the idea you want the idea that's the way the military works you
