The committee approved a $400 budget for an architect to redesign renderings for the relocation of the veterans wall. This decision follows concerns about the current location being too close to areas used for election signage. The architect is expected to complete the renderings within a month, after which the committee will review the proposed changes.

In addition to the wall relocation, the committee focused on promoting the Veterans Casino Night scheduled for February 28th at Pace High School. The event will feature a full casino setup, including poker and dominoes, with a 60% discount on tickets for veterans. Despite slow ticket sales, the committee is optimistic that sales will pick up post-holiday season. They are considering reaching out to local businesses like Kasabana for additional sponsorship and support.

Budget discussions revealed a current fundraising total of $62,600, with significant expenses yet to be deducted. The committee deliberated on potentially replacing costly fundraising events with a golf tournament, which may provide a more cost-effective alternative and attract larger sponsors.

Further discussions included the potential for poppy sales as a Memorial Day fundraiser. This initiative, which would involve selling poppy flowers at local businesses, is seen as a promising way to raise funds, provided sufficient volunteers can be organized.
