Thank you. Moving on to general public comment. Don't see anyone having those. So we'll move on to item number three, Flags for Heroes, presented by the Berlin Rotary Club.

Hi, everyone. I'm Kyle Camp, third year president of Rotary Club. And I would like to ask for permission if we can we're doing our Flags for Heroes. And we're, we would like to put in at least like 100 flags up June 22nd through July 13th at Haven Strong Park. We, I'm not sure I mean, we're sure you've all seen the flags, but it's like really pretty and. Yeah, sure. And one of our members, Jerry Bellot, he named the clock there and that's in the picture. So it's just a spectacular event and You know, I chose patriotism, and for each flag we sell, you can honor a hero. So, two of the people I'm honoring are Don Rosso, who has been a real good friend of mine, and taking me out turkey hunting, and It's just such a great way to honor heroes and people in the community that have done great things or veterans. It's such a great event.

Well, that's great. Thank you, Kyle. Does anyone have any questions or any comments they'd like to make?

How long have you been in the Rotary Club? I think it's been about five, six years, I think. And at the Rotary Club, as a club, you put the flags up and take the flags down. Yeah, immediately. and yeah we're putting them up for 20 seconds and a few of my co-workers they're gonna help pound the steaks in and Dave Parker at the gym he is gonna let us use a steak pounder too so It's raining now, so it should be a little bit easier. But one year, two years ago, it was so, the ground was so hard that one of my friends were selling at the gym, and he helped, and good thing he was there on the 100 planes. Very nice. Anyone else?

All right, if not, I will entertain a motion to approve the Flags for Heroes by the Rotary Club of Berlin for June 22nd through July 13th at Nathan Strong Park. I'll make a motion.

Aye. Motion carried. Thanks.

And we can help you out. IN A SECOND TO GIVE THEM THE RAMP. ALL RIGHT, ITEM NUMBER FOUR, NEW BUSINESS. ANY NEW BUSINESS THAT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO ATTENTION? ANY OLD? IF NOT, I WILL ENTERTAIN THE MOTION TO ADJOURN.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
