0:10 – 0:31•Speaker 2

So, on the day of the first meeting, the procedure of the meeting... No, but I was there. The procedure of the meeting was distributed. There is a copy.

0:50 – 1:07•Speaker 1

I wasn't there, so I don't know if I... Just in case, there's something we're missing. You could even see something unorthodox. You wrote it well, didn't you? Thank you.

1:07•Speaker 2

I'm sorry to disobey you.

1:21•Speaker 3

I have a second, so it's adopted. All sections.

1:27 – 1:39•Speaker 2

Very well, the motion is adopted. Very well, so we have the Gold Star Motors event that will take place...

1:43 – 2:09•Speaker 1

The meeting of the Board of Directors. And we invited them to... Je n'ai encore rien reçu. Quel jour est-ce ? C'est à 8h du matin, mais nous demandons à tout le monde si vous êtes là. Et ça dure environ une heure.

2:09•Speaker 4

Oui, j'y suis allée la dernière. J'ai vraiment envie d'y aller cette année, mais je ne peux pas. Je ne sais pas encore.

2:18•Speaker 1

J'y serai bientôt. Do you need to think about it together?

2:28 – 2:45•Speaker 3

Is there anything else about the Ghost Run for Mothers event that you would like to talk about? Everything is here, so I just have to come. There may be things in Jeff's office.

2:53•Speaker 1

I'm going to play with Dave. Yeah, so I was just back on me. No problem.

3:19 – 3:37•Speaker 4

My question is the following. If I wanted to send an email to this woman to see if she could really be interested in doing it, because the last time the comments were that she didn't want to do both the food and the toilet products. We first contact the VAD to know what to do.

3:37•Speaker 3

I don't know Bob, what did she really need, toilet products or food?

3:40 – 4:19•Speaker 1

She prefers what is necessary. She doesn't want to do it. So we should maybe focus on toilet products. I mean, if we just say that we're going to make toilet products... That would be... If you agree, I don't know how the food bank is doing now from Bobby's point of view. You don't want to like these donations in the food bank's food box that are almost every day when I'm up there. Yeah, it looks like toilet articles are probably the... Yeah, I don't know.

4:22•Speaker 4

And the only thing, if it's good, instead of... I think the last time we had about six or seven people.

4:25 – 4:44•Speaker 3

I can't have the passbook. If my child was there, it would help to collect all that, but maybe just... Give us... ...the coordinates, we could... So I'll send it. It doesn't hurt, Laurent. I have a copy of paper, so I'll have to look into my things.

4:47•Speaker 4

So I'm going to take the necessary measures this week, if that doesn't bother you.

4:51•Speaker 3

We will focus on the trees.

4:59•Speaker 1

I suppose that my actions will consist in contacting the churches if they are interested in this project. Then they receive an important gift, they simply call one of us or submit a feeling.

5:06•Speaker 4

So the other aspect was that if we could provide them with the group of messengers of the former fighters, it would be very rational.

5:20•Speaker 1

I don't have any. I tend to send them by individual email, but I always go through the chair. I can distribute them.

5:29•Speaker 4

Well, I'm just saying, for example, for clients who send emails, we can contact them. There is no problem in putting my number and all that, and they can call me.

5:37•Speaker 2

So tell them that if you give them the...

5:41•Speaker 4

If something is removed, they will contact you.

5:43•Speaker 2

And then it's like that.

5:46•Speaker 1

They will simply send an email and the group will receive it all.

5:50 – 6:06•Speaker 2

Like St. James, St. Mary's is open later, so I can go there. We decided to reunite the group, so it's just to tell me.

6:06•Speaker 1

Yeah, I'm free. Tuesday night. Tuesday morning, I can look for him.

6:14•Speaker 4

Or for me to say, guys, I'm stuck at work. So, bye.

6:22•Speaker 1

If you get any help or anything, send me a text.

6:24•Speaker 4

Yeah, once I have the info and I look for the ideas, I think it will be a good idea. So Sunday is my date.

6:33 – 6:46•Speaker 1

I know we also have a new member, so... Oh, I... What's his name? I think so. He borrowed it from me. Yeah, yeah. He borrowed it from me.

6:46•Speaker 2

At least we talked a little, so we could have someone else who could also help us in certain things. Potentially.

6:54•Speaker 1

Other discussions?

6:56•Speaker 4

Unless there is. We haven't done it since, have we?

7:00•Speaker 1

As long as I know. What are my usual dates?

7:05•Speaker 4

I would like us to be able to collect before Halloween.

7:13•Speaker 1

Thank you. I don't want to go into too much detail. Because it would ask too many people.

7:19•Speaker 4

Before Halloween. That's good. The church is usually only two weeks at a time.

7:23 – 7:36•Speaker 1

They don't want to do it. For me, I'm absent for two and a half weeks in November. Yeah, if it's done before the end of October, that's fine.

7:36•Speaker 4

I can just do it. Yeah, and I'll bring the stuff to my place, I'll sort them out, and then we'll do the laundry.

7:49•Speaker 1

It's great. If it suits you to do it... No.

7:53 – 8:08•Speaker 4

I haven't really been there. So I don't really know what happened. If it happens to the veterinarian, that's all that happens to me.

8:08•Speaker 2

All veterinarians.

8:14•Speaker 1

Well, the next subject is future planning. The activity for the day of the old fighter is the same.

8:22•Speaker 2

We can usually do something.

8:26•Speaker 1

What do you think we should do? Post commemorative events.

8:34•Speaker 3

Post commemorative events. Post commemorative events.

8:38•Speaker 1

Post commemorative events.

8:42•Speaker 3

Post commemorative events. Post commemorative events.

8:47•Speaker 2

Post commemorative events. Post commemorative events. Post commemorative events. Post commemorative events.

8:53 – 9:15•Speaker 1

Post commemorative events. Post commemorative events. No. He has a family situation that pushed him to resign.

9:15•Speaker 3

I wouldn't be in town.

9:23•Speaker 1

No problem. I mean, I'll probably go there.

9:26•Speaker 2

You just have to see.

9:27•Speaker 1

You have to know how to protect yourself. A special edition. A special edition.

9:36•Speaker 2

No. If he was under the protection of witnesses, we wouldn't talk to him. He would have left already. No.

9:43•Speaker 1

So that brings us to the memorial.

9:49•Speaker 2

So, the Memorial Day is the... So it's the gory of 400 kilos.

9:51•Speaker 1

Yeah, that's it.

9:52•Speaker 2

I think we still have work to do.

10:00•Speaker 4

I will be regular from now on.

10:02•Speaker 2

You will be? I will be more regular.

10:08•Speaker 1

I'm the second online.

10:10•Speaker 2

I had some ideas that I didn't have the opportunity to discuss with you.

10:14 – 11:22•Speaker 1

Destroy, Juanjo. As soon as you give me your hand, I'll give it to you. Demon. They had a hard time transporting them from their gathering areas to all the cemeteries. And then the nightmare of traffic and police demands, which they found overwhelming for the police bill. I remember asking Stonnet, I would have liked him to be there, because we could have... And how do we proceed without making any waves? I think it will happen.

11:23•Speaker 2

Yeah, I mean...

11:25 – 11:41•Speaker 1

There are a lot of them. They went down there. They went down here, going to the studio.

11:43•Speaker 2

And it ended on the parking where it was. Now it must have been...

11:51 – 12:03•Speaker 1

It's a lot easier. I think they still organized all the ceremonies in all the... Of the college.

12:03•Speaker 2

No, just here. It started here.

12:06•Speaker 4

They walked less than a quarter of a meter.

12:13•Speaker 1

And it was also the last year of the overflight.

12:19•Speaker 2

I don't know why.

12:22 – 12:45•Speaker 1

But I think that on the basis of the information we have about the age of the participants and the effectiveness of the police, We should make a proposal that proposes this anyway.

12:47•Speaker 4

They might have the idea if we...

12:53 – 13:08•Speaker 1

If we have 6 crowns or 7 crowns, I think there are so many cemeteries. And that we organize an official ceremony in a place. 7 crowns is for the next cemetery.

13:11•Speaker 2

And then, when the ceremony is over, when we say that the ceremonies are over, we take the souls of the dead.

13:18 – 13:39•Speaker 1

We all take a crown and put it in the cemetery before it is attributed to us. So we write it all down in the form of propositions and present it so that they adhere to it and want to do it this year. You know, we don't know how this would happen.

13:41•Speaker 4

But it's an idea like why we never organized a parade on the high school track.

13:50•Speaker 2

It's a bit like if we didn't make this decision.

13:54•Speaker 3

Well, no, but it's a smaller area for...

13:57•Speaker 4

I don't remember if we can really go there by car. I know, I think it's possible, but...

14:04 – 14:17•Speaker 1

If I take up the scenario that I remember, I think it was in 2014. If they were ready to walk down the street, it wouldn't be this far. It would be all over the place.

14:17•Speaker 2

Where is it?

14:21•Speaker 1

No one knows. Go out on this side and say it's done.

14:25•Speaker 2

Because we don't need a massive police presence.

14:29•Speaker 1

We don't need to close the road. We need a few officers here. But they could.

14:39•Speaker 2

They could be uncomfortable.

14:41 – 14:52•Speaker 1

with such a reduction. They probably also have a very good minute, because it's the commune. Okay, but with the commune, all the traffic, the closure of the road.

14:53•Speaker 4

So the land is a trap. Another commune.

15:00 – 15:15•Speaker 1

School? If we were strictly going to the communal land, Unless we go to the church parking lot. Let's say.

15:15•Speaker 3

That's where the cold got in the way.

15:21 – 15:37•Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, it's right in front of us. So if we left from there, we could maybe... So if you get out of this parking lot and you do like that, you stay close to the communal ground, we're in the right place.

15:37•Speaker 2

We're making our speech and all that.

15:40 – 15:52•Speaker 1

Stop there. In short, disperse yourself. Once you put your execution plot, you can align your execution plot. Keep colors, execution plot.

15:52•Speaker 2

So maybe in a proposal... We start behind the scenes.

15:58 – 16:24•Speaker 1

Scenario 2. What you will lose is... Now, what you could do is that if you want to make the vehicles, if we are going to say a common proposition, you could simply place the vehicles there. They are visible or not.

16:24•Speaker 2

And they are just there in advance.

16:28 – 16:50•Speaker 1

Same scenario if you have here. And the vehicles. Then all the veterans or no matter the color guard were in front of the side doors of the auditorium.

16:50 – 17:22•Speaker 2

And see what happened in what year? The advantage is that audio is a little easier because everyone is like the person behind and everyone is just the person who speaks and then you have everything in front of them instead of being in the same room.

17:22•Speaker 1

The sound is bad.

17:24 – 17:41•Speaker 2

Well, I know that Carmen said that I had met the gentleman and I came to see his name. The young boy is like a young boy and he makes all the sound. It's Sean.

17:41•Speaker 3

But I'll contact Carmen.

17:47 – 17:58•Speaker 1

There was a gentleman over there who said he would help us with the sound. And the biggest complaint I've had from these people, in general, is... I can't hear him either.

17:58•Speaker 3

Look over there.

18:01•Speaker 1

So, where are you?

18:03•Speaker 3

In front of the comments.

18:10 – 18:35•Speaker 2

Well, if we finish on the parking lot, we could settle. You know, in this large open section that is there, you have the high school, you could just be like the podium is there and you do things. But everyone is a little more on the parking lot than you. Or at the common level. Yes, all the people are outside and then you have everyone inside the choir at the common level. And you try to configure the audio so that it works.

18:37•Speaker 1

The citizens of Grafton are visiting.

18:43•Speaker 3

And the VIPs and veterans would be facing? And CC1?

18:51 – 19:17•Speaker 1

Yes sir. If you want. If you want. I hope I have enough money for the cross. You get a 10x20 car shelter that will have something to install so that you will have chairs for the computers and others.

19:17•Speaker 4

As you did this year. No, I've never heard of it.

19:21•Speaker 2

The question I was asking myself was the same. Let's say it was raining. Is there a way to use it?

19:29•Speaker 1

It's already right in front of the auditorium. The high school, the high school... I don't see the high school.

19:35•Speaker 2

You could have the veterinarian sitting in front of you. The auditorium of the high school, you have...

19:40•Speaker 1

The city hall and all that.

19:42•Speaker 2

I say the auditorium. Wait, you have the gymnasium and the auditorium, literally there.

19:49•Speaker 1

The gymnasium won't work.

19:51 – 20:07•Speaker 2

In the gymnasium either, because then you could have the citizens sitting in the... Grades. And the veterinarian could come in... have a place to sit and I think the sound would be a little better.

20:07•Speaker 3

It would respond to the walls, so it wouldn't be the same.

20:11•Speaker 2

But I think they're already integrated.

20:14•Speaker 1

I suppose you...

20:17•Speaker 2

I don't know who we would ask if it's allowed. It's easy to ask.

20:25•Speaker 3

How many people can be present in the auditorium? I suppose if you ask the police, she can guess how many people there are.

20:35•Speaker 1

Because it's something that you would ask Jay. As if we wanted to use the school. Yeah, as if we wanted to use the school.

20:44•Speaker 2

Because we knew in advance that there would be a lesson that day.

20:47 – 21:00•Speaker 1

Well, I think we'll start with my daughter. Yeah, we'll start, she's a schoolteacher, but I think we'll start with the teacher. You know, you start first with the teacher.

21:00•Speaker 2

Because in my opinion,

21:06 – 21:38•Speaker 1

Yeah, we have two scenarios Two proposals we can discuss. The future.

21:38 – 21:51•Speaker 3

And the distribution so they can see them. And I'll make sure it's as simple as possible. I won't worry about the vehicles.

21:54 – 22:18•Speaker 1

It's something that Carmen, you know, Carmen decides who drives and who doesn't drive. It's as if, you know, he could end up telling us, yes, we have four vehicles. I mean, in the proposal, we would just create it as if it were a parade of not more than a quarter of a thousand people.

22:18•Speaker 2

It's just... It's okay.

22:28•Speaker 3

You're going to be the master of this year.

22:32•Speaker 2

I could have done it if I had to. It's just that... No.

22:38•Speaker 3

You'll be the dubbing.

22:40•Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, I'm the dubbing.

22:42•Speaker 3

Do you know how it works with the main actor and the dubbing?

22:47 – 23:04•Speaker 1

We never know. Besides, it's raining, as usual. I'll do everything I can.

23:06•Speaker 2

No, I think, I think, I think it's cool.

23:08 – 23:22•Speaker 1

And then I know that we should contact for which I suppose that the question is what we are looking to do for it in the future.

23:22•Speaker 2

We will have to write it down as a system.

23:25•Speaker 1

And that could happen next year.

23:28•Speaker 4

Do we still have to do it?

23:29•Speaker 2

But the more we wait to find different ideas.

23:32•Speaker 4

Do we still have to call the buses, program them?

23:36 – 24:09•Speaker 1

And I don't want it to happen. Then it's to think about other problems that people have. Yeah, we know them.

24:09 – 24:20•Speaker 2

Yeah, the audio always seems to be the...

24:21•Speaker 1

The group didn't know. The card presented by the veterans.

24:29•Speaker 3

It was another problem.

24:32•Speaker 1

Because the group was literally behind the crowd on the stage.

24:35 – 25:07•Speaker 2

In this proposal, the commons would be secondary, in a way. In fact, I will write it down here.

25:12 – 26:01•Speaker 1

The college or the city campus would be the second choice. And then see which one. And which one, you know, arouses the most interest. I mean the fact that we did several shows this morning. I think it has already been said and done so to speak. To know what year it was done in this way, so that we can feel it. Memorial Day. And it seemed to be going well. Another thing, one of the things you know, the command. Two news for this year, but he said it was definitely ours. In June, he left. As if he was no longer president.

26:01•Speaker 3

There was no command.

26:03•Speaker 1

Yes, he came back this year.

26:09•Speaker 3

It was us who had our ideas.

26:10•Speaker 2

I didn't get any news from him when I sent him an email.

26:14•Speaker 1

But I like it. Are there any other discussions on the memorial?

26:22•Speaker 3

I don't know.

26:39 – 26:54•Speaker 2

I thought about ways to improve the presentation table.

27:12•Speaker 1

One of the things I thought about is that to attract children to the table with their parents, pencils and coloring pages would not be enough each year.

27:21•Speaker 2

So I thought that if we had, for example, a big numbered cup, 1, 2 and 3, you know.

27:25 – 27:45•Speaker 1

And if we draw on the 1, we get a t-shirt with a drawing mesh. And if we draw on the 2, we get a diaper. If you pull on the 3, you get a truck.

27:45•Speaker 3

And these are all the things you can find. A reasonable price. You know, on Amazon and stuff like that. And they are generally in good market.

27:52•Speaker 1

You know, if you pull just a number, it's the price you get, you know.

28:00•Speaker 2

Because there are a lot of places.

28:03•Speaker 1

We could probably do a little thing.

28:04•Speaker 2

It's the other thing too, it's who decided where.

28:08 – 28:22•Speaker 1

I think the Department of Housing... So, if we find our idea of ​​what we want, of what we want to be... Why are you talking to me about spitting shit?

28:22•Speaker 3

We made them crawl on their bellies.

28:24•Speaker 1

And I, Lucas, stay here. I'm going down. You can just yell at them like I normally do.

28:31•Speaker 2

If we go to the shipyard service, I'll tell them, listen, this is what we want to do.

28:35•Speaker 1

Well, maybe that's why we're here, because they're going down.

28:43•Speaker 2

On the other side of this wall, as you said, I could put a little something right there.

28:49•Speaker 1

Or I don't know.

28:50 – 29:12•Speaker 2

I just asked myself why we weren't in front of it. I mean, you could also do... It's maybe numbers for little children. Older children. Something that's like a challenge. Like a challenge. Like, how many military pumps can the children do? They would fill them up, they would run away from each other.

29:13•Speaker 4

And if we had small military cars or trucks and stuff like that? You know, ducks and chickens. You could make them drive.

29:20•Speaker 1

It would be two million little children.

29:25•Speaker 3

I'm not quite sure.

29:37•Speaker 1

Not that we talked about it on the day of the grafter.

29:43•Speaker 2

Yeah, you have to know. You can always have pencils and paper for the inter-child section of life. You know, like children of two years old who love to play. And buy comic strips.

29:53•Speaker 1

Once again, they are for market.

30:00 – 30:15•Speaker 3

We can buy coloring on the theme of the cards. Yeah... I like the idea of the physical challenge.

30:42•Speaker 2

I mean, you could also do the same thing. You get a little tank, a little plush. But if you do it in a certain way, you get this. If you do it more, you get this.

30:51•Speaker 4

But they would love this.

30:53•Speaker 1

It's a good idea.

30:58 – 31:10•Speaker 2

And then you have a chip. So this one for the children, as I said, we're going to do like the little ducks. They will be a bit like the marine.

31:11•Speaker 1

Ducks in a pool.

31:17•Speaker 4

I don't get it.

31:19 – 31:31•Speaker 2

Marine is with water. Dive overboard and try to save them? No, but I'm ready to bet that I could continue right away and probably find small rubber ducks on the theme of the marine. Oh, you... What?

31:31•Speaker 4

Yeah, all the different military ducks. That would be cool.

31:34•Speaker 2

You take those from the marine and you put numbers at the bottom. For the children. And...

31:38•Speaker 4

The children. Okay, but it has to be all branches, right?

31:45 – 31:56•Speaker 2

I mean, we could do all branches. I was just thinking of the pool with the seahorses. We could have a small pool for children or something like that. And you can give them a little one. Oh my God, it's so cute. Oriental trading.

31:57•Speaker 4

They have the army, the air army, the navy, the... If I was thinking of... A magnet.

32:05•Speaker 1

Something like that.

32:10•Speaker 2

Or another thing we could do to make it fun is to put it in something that people can't see.

32:18•Speaker 1

And when they take out the duck, it depends on the exercise they do.

32:27•Speaker 3

Yeah, it's more specific to the age.

32:29 – 32:42•Speaker 2

Oh, the teams are coming. It's for the teams. Oh, the teams. Yeah, so it would be like, if you take the one from the navy, you can install it, we could do it like if you want to do... Swells and scoops.

33:13•Speaker 1

Yeah, that's all I've got.

33:40•Speaker 2

No, it's probably good. Yeah, I like it. It's good today.

33:44•Speaker 1

Did you have a lot of free time to think about all this then?

33:47 – 33:58•Speaker 2

Yeah, all these days of the week. Yeah, I saw you last Friday. I came out of the house and I thought you were going to be happy.

33:58•Speaker 1

Sometimes I don't see things.

34:01•Speaker 4

These are little veteran ducks. What? Not ducks, they're like little shoes. It's adorable.

34:11•Speaker 4

I think it would probably be much better if they slipped on the floor.

34:15 – 34:31•Speaker 2

I wasn't sure they were going to slip. I wasn't expecting it because the vines don't slip like that. I just gave them to you. Yeah. But this would also be a good thing to have. And if we have a veterinarian who comes to the table, we give him our own little one.

34:32•Speaker 4

It's ten dollars for two of us. We have a pack of veterinarians and a pack of armed forces. How can we?

34:43•Speaker 3

As a committee.

34:47•Speaker 1

We don't think they promoted us on Facebook, on social networks, because we simply didn't know what we were doing.

34:54 – 35:07•Speaker 2

So, now that we've seen how it works, especially with our ideas, all we have to do is say, come on, no, you can't take the duck out in case something happens. You're an adult.

35:13•Speaker 1

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

35:41 – 36:28•Speaker 2

So not only on GCTV, we can do YouTube. It makes it accessible to everyone. You know, children will say to themselves, oh, I want to do that. If we say there is a challenge on it, they can send it to their friends and say, look, I put you in the challenge to go there. Then, as Oli said, if you have a table, put a ranking there. Because if, let's say you're going to do, okay, because we can't do all the events, but let's say you're going to do like the army pumps. And you just have to do at least four. But if people do more, the minimum. And out of ten, have you seen the new pumps? I know.

36:28•Speaker 4

I had to do it through cards. I'm going to tell you this one. I tried to do it through the national army.

36:35 – 36:52•Speaker 2

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

37:13 – 37:45•Speaker 1

The BAC will organize this obstacle course. The BAC will organize... Maybe the football team will face the baseball team or something like that, you see? We would like to see something like that and where there is nothing happening next to the sergeant, whatever, the navy is always there. You know, it would be... Let's try to do a challenge.

37:45 – 38:03•Speaker 2

Fraternity... We could even write... For example, this person, we did 15, and then he reads the bulletin, and then he adds them all, and they say, oh, a baseball team, with all the certified bulletins that they invented.

38:03 – 38:20•Speaker 1

We're going to be very busy, but it doesn't matter. Let the time pass, please. Yeah, I mean, it's... We're going to work on the exercise equipment.

38:20•Speaker 2

You need a bar. A bar of dips. You know, these bar of dips, it's the traction.

38:28•Speaker 1

Do you know what I mean?

38:29 – 38:42•Speaker 2

Does the school probably have one? You could train it. Yeah, that doesn't worry me. Well, those are all... If we end up just doing pumps, we won't even really need the traction bar.

38:42•Speaker 4

Yeah, I might just say pumps and abs or something like that, just to vary.

38:44•Speaker 1

What I mean is that if you have something that needs traction, at least you have something up there and maybe you can lay a few flags.

38:52 – 39:14•Speaker 2

I mean, you can always try to find an average GP time. Well, when you were... It will be higher than all the other tents. Do you remember when we were at our place? And this finesse room over there?

39:15•Speaker 1

It's to make children do pompes.

39:16•Speaker 2

Yeah, but did they have a... We gave them.

39:21•Speaker 1

We saw that it was a little more than that.

39:27•Speaker 3

Did they put you in uniform?

39:30•Speaker 1

It was not allowed.

39:35•Speaker 2

I think it would be authorized.

39:37•Speaker 4

It's good if you're in uniform and like T.I. and all that, you know. But you must be in a party, right?

39:45•Speaker 1

Or not in a party. I think I could wear something like that. A.C.U. It doesn't matter what you call them. Operational camouflage.

39:54•Speaker 2

Technically, they're still...

39:56•Speaker 1

It's like the uniform of...

40:08•Speaker 2

It's like the Multicam, but there were things that...

40:11•Speaker 3

I was able to get my uniform.

40:13•Speaker 4

You want to get one? Oh, wait.

40:14 – 40:35•Speaker 2

No, I'm wearing the uniform that you see me wearing, the one from the ice cream. Crack. The white one. The white one. One of them is... I always thought that if... My roll-up. Zoom will change everything.

40:35 – 40:54•Speaker 1

Oh, okay. Do you see what it looks like to wear an officer's uniform over your head? I already showed it. The battery. It's a bitch.

40:54•Speaker 4

We have to be like that. He also threw them away. It was a sweater. Yeah, but we, as veterans, we can wear the traditional uniform that we wore.

41:04 – 41:17•Speaker 2

That's why I was in DCUs that have been removed forever. I mean, I'm going... Because I don't have any more. I'm going to talk to my Paul. I gave them to him.

41:17•Speaker 1

He might still have them, but I gave him all my old DVDs. You could maybe find some.

41:23•Speaker 2

And you can... I'm going to start digging. I don't wear a uniform.

41:29•Speaker 4

There is a place of surplus of the army that I had. Oh, they probably have a lot of money. Oh, they have a ton of money. I have my boots over there, my pants.

41:35 – 41:48•Speaker 1

You did not have the new uniform of the army, the new uniform of the army. I think it's like digital, but it's blue. And it's my, no, it's the rule, you can't wear a new uniform. We're going to wear what we have. What did they do? Oh, that's how it is. So I can only wear DCU or BDU. The ACU.

41:55•Speaker 2

Very good. What? What? I'm getting away from the subject. Great. So why?

42:00•Speaker 2

We're going to organize a challenge.

42:05•Speaker 4

A obstacle course. And ducks?

42:13•Speaker 2

Ducks. Yes, children will love ducks. Piscines.

42:16•Speaker 1

Oh, I didn't know that. They go to the waiting pool or to a pool of 50 or 50 gallons?

42:23•Speaker 2

I don't know. Well, we have a whole year to find.

42:30•Speaker 1

Well, we only have 8 months before the memorial.

42:56•Speaker 3

So it's been 11 months in total.

42:59 – 43:15•Speaker 2

Yeah, we have 11 months. We keep that during the day. Okay. So the next point is that I have a composition for the next meeting on October 15, 2026. Does that count?

43:15•Speaker 4

I'm going to determine it.

43:20•Speaker 1

It depends on... Yeah, it's... Oh yeah. I think... I think I'm just going to wear that.

43:25 – 43:54•Speaker 2

Like... Oh, I was going to say, when you were like that, I was going to say... I have to integrate it, because now I'm on CPC. They need to know what community information is. So, it's the committee. It's the committee.

43:55•Speaker 1

And the soldiers and the men. And so you work with Jack.

43:58•Speaker 2

So I have to... I have to integrate myself. The advantage of their program is that it is very structured.

44:06•Speaker 1

Like the third Thursday of each month.

44:08•Speaker 2

So I'm trying to make sure that ours takes place before.

44:11•Speaker 1

So I don't need to miss it.

44:14•Speaker 4

The other thing is that you want to keep it.

44:17•Speaker 2

I mean, unless you want to change it. No, I keep it consistent, it will help me better.

44:27•Speaker 1

We briefly discussed where to go.

44:29•Speaker 2

On Wednesday or... Wednesday or Wednesday or... Well, we think we should stay.

44:39•Speaker 1

We'll avoid Tuesday, once... Hey, but don't worry about that, because if we don't react, we'll have to change our destination.

44:46•Speaker 4

So just Thursday, keep 2L.

44:50•Speaker 2

Monday is just the day. I absolutely could not do it on Wednesday. I have a computer committee tonight.

45:02•Speaker 1

Yeah, Tuesday or Thursday, that's fine. But go ahead, it's the only bad day for me.

45:06•Speaker 3

Would you mind if I... Yeah, Bob, that's how you take it.

45:10•Speaker 1

He's going to retire soon, isn't he? Yeah.

45:16•Speaker 2

He's hanging up on me. Oh, I just want to say that he's retiring from the suit. He's just in charge.

45:23•Speaker 1

Why do we have to love him? Yeah, it's all about life. As you can see.

45:31•Speaker 2

Okay, so we're going to keep it like that. Maybe we'll do it. The next time I have a meeting at the clinic, I'll talk about it.

45:37•Speaker 1

For now, we're going to the 15th.

45:40•Speaker 2

I have a motion to update.

45:44•Speaker 4

Thank you for closing this.
