Items discussed on June 9:
1. Flags/Memorial – The group discussed going forward with the veteran’s memorial idea. Jake Arnold will do base and excavation of the site at approximately $2,000. Approximately $1700 will be needed for the flag pole and $750 for benches. Estimates are needed for sign panels (Holland Veteran’s Memorial) plus military emblems. Bricks can go on the ground around memorial. Bricks could be used as a fundraiser in honor/memory of loved ones. Linda Russell will get sample bricks. We need to start advertising about the veteran’s memorial in fall after all estimates have been received. Matt Bell has donated $500 towards expenses of the memorial. We need to ask John Carter, Brad Buckley, Ralph Snyder, and Holland Chamber of Commerce plus many others for funds for this project. Flags will be put out on July 2 and taken down on July 6 for 4th of July.
