Staff Report
Cliff hasn't been informed whether there will be a September Veteran's
Memorial Tribute.
Old Business
The Board has again been requested by the City to use the City of
Edmonds email system for communication with each other and with
the City. Discussed that everyone on the Board should have received
their email address and password for the City system.
New Business
We revised our introduction letter to churches and assisted living
facilities; Melissa will type it up and distribute to the Board for final
approval.
Discussed ways to update our Cemetery brochure without having to
re -print it. We still have enough brochures to distribute. It was
decided to contact American Printers and see if they can make a
sticker to go on the bottom of the brochure that would reflect our new
web site address. Melissa will contact American Printers.
Discussed the Veterans Day Walk. A subcommittee was formed that
will meet at the end of September/first of October. Date, time and
place still to be determined. Dale Hoggins will take the lead on
planning the Walk.
