Very well, we are in order. There is no one from the audience here, so we will skip those.

0:05 – 0:20Speaker 3

And maybe before I am totally indirect, we will go directly to the community connections. This is the third point in the order of the day. Just to let everyone know, Paul organized a meeting maybe two weeks ago for something crazy.

0:21Speaker 2

Community connections interview.

0:25 – 1:31Speaker 3

And at this meeting, there were representatives of about 5 or 6 different municipal organizations. In fact, municipal organizations and adjacent to the city. So there was someone from the green team, there was someone from the school committee, from the historical society, from Trailways, people from Railtrail, myself. And I'm sure I skip some organizations. She made a presentation and basically she wanted to form an external association with the government, called Committee Connections. You know, she started in my mind, with something that could be good for us. And she was talking about increasing the community part, the volunteer, the community spirit, all these good things. And maybe encouraging more people to participate in committees like ours.

1:31Speaker 2

And you know, positive things.

1:34 – 2:49Speaker 3

And then she had a agenda that numbered a certain number of projects. and she tried to be exhaustive. She had a little something for everyone who could get it by joining this organization. And then it was maybe the first 15 minutes of the meeting. The rest of the meeting was a little more focused on projects and there were comments from people present in the audience. The managers of the railway had things to say about the construction of more of railways in the city itself, between some different organizations in different places. And the woman who is responsible for the railway raised her hand and said that we would not go. But we would be happy to participate in other ways. But you know, there is so much problem when we build paths, you know, with the neighborhoods, all that kind of thing. We don't want to be part of it. There were some other discussions. Then, the last half of the meeting was devoted to two projects of... Debs, frankly.

2:49Speaker 2

One was... She wants to do a closed market thing.

2:56 – 4:20Speaker 3

And it would take place on Friday evening. That's how she envisages it. And she would do it the way she presented it, that is to say, in conjunction with something she called the fabulous Fridays. And the concept is that the farmer's market would take place from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., I think. And this thing, the fabulous Fridays, would take place from 6 p.m. to 4 p.m. or from 6 p.m. to 4 p.m., something like that. It would be an event on the communal ground in front of the farmer's market, I think, which is at the Maison Marsonne, the former Lions Park. and the fabulous event of Friday would take place on the other side of the street, in the city center, and it would be sponsored. Each of them considered that it would be a 13-week program from June to mid-September. Every Friday, a different organization would organize the fabulous event of Friday and would be responsible for the event, whatever it was. This could be a musical event or another, and it should bring this to community relations. Yes, I have a question. I don't want to interrupt you. No.

4:22Speaker 2

I talked to him.

4:22Speaker 3

I thought it might be interesting.

4:28Speaker 2

Did he ask Sonny Crest, Marc and Max what he thought?

4:35Speaker 3

She said she had spoken to them. They would not participate in terms of exhibitions, but they would make products to sell.

4:46Speaker 2

That's what I didn't know if it would contradict them.

4:48 – 5:27Speaker 3

I didn't have the impression that she thought that would be the case. She talked about it. I didn't think it was a problem. And she would look for small farmers. not only from London, but also from around the world. And she would also have artisans, people who make things like my wife went to the fair, to the apple or something that took place at the Episcopal Church. So this kind of seller, she would do it because it would be the first year that she would bill them a low price to participate.

5:28Speaker 2

The closed market would be like that of dairy products.

5:35Speaker 3

Because she talked about maybe having a fishmonger there, a butcher, a farmer and all that kind of stuff.

5:41Speaker 1

Obtenir de la viande gratuite, vous savez, de la viande bon marché de chez nous d'où qu'elle vienne.

5:45 – 6:30Speaker 3

Peu importe. Je devrais probablement avoir un banquier là-bas pour me financer. Alors, qu'est-ce que ça apporte à Beautiful London? L'une d'elles était qu'elle disait, on pourrait avoir un stand là-bas tous les vendredis soirs et vous savez, montrer notre programme à We could help, I suppose, the farmer market. And maybe help to coordinate. Fabulous Friday. On the other side. Let's hope to arouse a stronger community spirit and who knows more volunteers and who knows what would happen after all this.

6:34 – 6:54Speaker 1

Because I don't know. It's a lot of work. I'm sorry. I'm already saying no. I don't care about not playing. I don't have the time. We can't even do it. We are now in competition with the artistic committee and their concert on the commons. I'm not for it. Well. I think it's a great theory. I think she's going to move forward.

7:01 – 7:40Speaker 3

I still haven't written anything in response to this meeting we had a few weeks ago, because I wanted to have the committee's opinion. I also think, first of all, with all due respect, that I owe the volunteers, that I will not spend 13 weeks in a row, sitting at a... stand that no one wants, that no one cares about. You know, I'm sure there would be something there, but not for me. The second thing is that According to me, La Réunion has evolved a little compared to the beginning. We are trying to increase the volunteerism and involve more people in the community spirit to turn towards a project.

7:42Speaker 1

Here is my idea and everyone supports me.

7:44 – 8:08Speaker 3

So I have a problem with that, but I want to answer. I'm going to give you a suggestion based on what everyone feels and I want to hear from everyone. I would like to write something to thank her for inviting us to La Réunion. by offering to help where we could, but by making him know that we would probably not participate in other discussions.

8:09Speaker 2

I know that with my situation, I have to find a way to reduce my expenses.

8:20Speaker 3

I can't do anything anymore.

8:23Speaker 2

And at my age, it's been...

8:28Speaker 1

The other thing I'm going to suggest to her is that I think it's too much.

8:35 – 9:32Speaker 3

And I really think she should. The idea of the Fabulous Friday could be a good idea, the event, but put it aside for a moment and focus on the launch of its farmer market. And do that and push the rest. And it won't be before next year, even if there are some inters. She has already made some steps, she has obtained some permits and she spoke to the mayor before the horse. Okay. It's a whirlwind, she's really... Yeah, because it's... But... But... Yeah, a whirlwind, but I don't want to be a sail on it. So... So... But you know it would be my recommendation for her. And I don't think I've seen any community groups represented in the dairy producers market.

9:33Speaker 2

So maybe it's a graphic.

9:38 – 9:52Speaker 3

I mean, honestly, I... Admix was a short experience. I sat at a stand at the Festival des Arts for a night and I had absolutely no interest. I don't think it's ours. It's ours and ours and ours. It's our interest.

9:53Speaker 1

Yeah, no, I think you're right. I don't think it goes with the idea of the farm market.

9:59Speaker 2

I like it. I also do other things.

10:02 – 10:24Speaker 1

And I would absolutely go as a customer. But yeah, so much closer. I mean, it's not that dairy products are so far away, but I don't think so. Oh wait, the dairy product seller is over there. I'm thinking, oh, I need tomatoes. I'm going to Max's. I'm going to buy stuff over there. I guess I have to start with that. It's okay.

10:26 – 10:43Speaker 3

Very good. So, I think I have an idea for the group. I don't think it's necessary to vote. I'm going to answer, but I'll put you in copy to answer that. La dernière réunion dont j'ai le compte rendu sur Joy était en juin. C'est notre dernière réunion.

10:43Speaker 1

Je n'étais pas en juillet.

10:46Speaker 2

Je ne pense pas que nous ayons été malades.

10:49 – 11:15Speaker 3

Non, c'était en août. Where were you on the move and then I was sick. And that's where you went, you were alone and I don't have a normal trial in July. I don't think you'll see us. So I'm just going to throw a copy because I thought she was already old at this point. Before we proved it, these are the June legal proceedings.

11:15 – 12:45Speaker 1

I think you said something. It was a text or something like that, or an answer to a July message. What I had sent him. Something to put, like thanking our friends, our sponsors for cleaning the roads, enumerating a bunch of events. You said good article or something like that. I sent it to him by email. I never got any news. So I didn't even know if it was perceived, if it was a good format. And I said, please, you know, you have the right to reformat that a little bit, okay? For his newspaper to appear in the London Dair Times. And I never saw the article. I never got any news. So I said to myself, you know, okay. As long as I know, it has never been published. And I was looking for it, but I probably missed it. And I thought that... Every time I send a letter, I don't have any news. But she publishes it. You know, she usually publishes it. Yeah. But I told myself, you know, they would have formatted it because they make paper. It's their thing. You know, it's their skill. Not mine. I can make it look good in Word for you. You know. Okay. Yes, I was just curious to know if it was all that you were talking about or... Okay.

12:45Speaker 3

I'm blind. But in any case, take a look at the legal process if we don't have any problems.

12:51Speaker 2

Can I get a motion on this subject?

13:13 – 13:36Speaker 1

Okay, it's so... Maybe I missed this one and I don't know if it's us, maybe I don't remember. You know, if you try to sell hats, you'll be out of town. But between giving hats for a tombola at a concert on campus and holding a stand... How many hats have you talked about? Because I still have most of them at home.

13:37Speaker 3

And there were only 25. There were 8 or 10. I think I gave 10 hats. One for each concert.

13:44Speaker 2

One for each.

13:45Speaker 1

I don't remember the details anymore.

13:49Speaker 2

Yes, that's it. Okay. And I think there were always 20 in a bag.

13:53Speaker 1

Do you think that's correct?

13:55Speaker 3

25 because there were 4 sleeves. So, I still have... You know, I haven't sold any. So, I have this. I think it's...

14:30Speaker 1

I don't think so.

14:31Speaker 2

The library is open now.

14:32 – 14:43Speaker 3

The library just opened a few days ago. I'm going to kill my son. Yeah, I'm not going to talk about the library in a second. But can I have a motion on this subject?

14:43Speaker 2

Make a motion to accept the meetings as they are written.

14:49Speaker 3

I love you. All those who are... Preside over the votes.

14:54 – 15:07Speaker 1

Okay, good. Just ask a question. This has nothing to do with this. I mean, it's approved. Karen Bottenhorn, what's... What a failure. Okay. We did it. Did you see it?

15:08Speaker 3

I wrote it twice and I left a voice message and I didn't get any news from her.

15:14 – 15:57Speaker 2

And I... This comment... A person we talked about... Do you remember I talked to you? Okay. I left a message... The weekend at the... I had a phone number on the internet. I suppose it was correct. And he told me when our meeting happened. And when, you know, the day of the massacres. And I told him that we would meet here. And he's not there. Screaming. So I don't know. I left my phone number. And I didn't get an answer. I don't know if the phone number was incorrect. Very good.

15:57 – 16:31Speaker 3

Updates for everyone on the panels, welcome to Launderary. Our four panels are in place. They are all installed. If you had the opportunity to look at them, they look great. They came out really well. The final expense and the invoices are in all countries. You raise it to 8,960. Sorry, 40. It was less than we thought, wasn't it?

16:31Speaker 2

Yes, it's less. And we finally only made four panels.

16:40 – 17:03Speaker 3

And these additional 979 were due to a mistake on my part. Instead of taking the equipment and giving it to me so that I could paint it by hand, he sent it to the guys from the north and gave them paint. I said, go ahead. And there was another expense. Oh, we needed a replacement pole.

17:04 – 17:24Speaker 3

It was painted and all that. But the DPWM did a good job. They were great. They were brilliant. And the sign that we couldn't fix the last time I looked at it was pressed against the DPWM garage on the other side of the city. They'll fix it at some point. So it won't be completely fixed. I saw Dave.

17:26Speaker 3

He was there in the evening.

17:29Speaker 2

Or I don't know if it was his mother. A part of the work is finished.

18:00 – 19:00Speaker 3

We have, I think, a few things in the short term on which to work and maybe something in the longer term. I went around last week and I removed the old panels from the sponsors. There are two sizes for the moment. It seems to be the size used by the sponsors themselves. And then at the top of each panel, there is a closing post of about 1.6 meters, a 4x4 closing post on which we can fix them. At the top, there is something that says, maintained by the one who was at Wendy's. So this one is probably the one in better condition. Most of them are frankly destroyed at this stage. So we will have to consider replacing them. I don't have a price for these panels yet. I would do it, but I wanted to address two or three points. One of them was the yellow and the blue. I don't know what people think.

19:00 – 19:22Speaker 1

I don't like that at all, but hey, it's... Like. The panels themselves. There are blue panels with gold. I think it's okay, you know, they go together. If you change a lot of other colors, it's going to be a mini-melo.

19:22Speaker 2

I like that. Okay.

19:28Speaker 1

Is that it? Are these letters reflective? It would be nice if they were.

19:35Speaker 2

You see what I mean?

19:36 – 19:55Speaker 1

As if it was just yellow, gold on blue. And that it was dark, that you don't see it. So it doesn't know, you know. I'm just wondering if the painting, the lettering could be reflective so that when someone passes in front of it, it comes out. Just a question.

19:56Speaker 3

I think it's a good question.

20:21Speaker 1

La pépinière là-bas qui entretient certains panneaux. Shady. Shady Hill. Je pensais à Spring Hill. Et je me suis dit, non, c'est pas ça. Shady Hill.

20:29Speaker 3

Il... Maintenant, il n'est pas un sponsor financier. Il en aura un entre... D'accord.

20:34Speaker 1

Donc, ils en auront un.

20:36Speaker 3

Ils n'en ont pas. Ils ont fait leur. L'un des leurs a été détruit, mais l'autre l'a été.

20:42Speaker 1

Comment il a été détruit ?

20:44 – 21:23Speaker 3

Eh bien, celui de Rockingham Road. On dirait que quelqu'un est entré en voiture dedans. And the end. And it's a 4x4 pole, broken in two. So this one is screwed. I have the end pole. I think it was South Mammoth Road. It's in my garage. Because it was on the ground over there. I left the North Rockingham Road one. And I think I left the 102 West one. So these four poles are up there. Unfortunately, when they did the Wendy's thing and they removed the thing over there, this guy got lost in the mix.

21:24Speaker 2

Where did this sign go? It was Wendy's.

21:28 – 21:43Speaker 3

It's the one that's at the top of the WM now. Oh, it's in fact, that's not true. What happened? I thought this one had been screwed. The one that was the only one. No, the one on the north side of the city. It was the one that was, it couldn't be repaired. So Wendy's actually ended up. Oh.

21:45Speaker 1

Wendy's is simply too difficult to see. So why waste this space? Until someone mentions that she was there, right?

21:52 – 22:27Speaker 3

So what I'm going to do is, unless there is an objection, I will get a price to stay with this basic format. I'm going to look into the thinking panels because I think it would be good if it could be done and get a price for these panels. And we will need new materials because the material that was there most of the time when I used the clicker to remove these things, it was background shots. Most of them were so rusty. I didn't use stainless steel material, so most of them were rusty and broke when I removed them.

22:27Speaker 1

Well, you're lucky to have them removed.

22:30Speaker 2

So Shelly is still involved.

22:33 – 22:53Speaker 3

Shady Hill takes care of the one in North London, Derry. 102 West, that. Yeah, he takes care of these two. And Grandog technically takes care of the other two. I have to talk to them a little because we were also supposed to have the young one. What was his problem? What was supposed to happen?

22:54 – 23:19Speaker 1

So I contacted Katie. And you know, I just let him know that we didn't see each other. Really, I contacted him to tell him that the panels were late. I didn't have any news from him. So I contacted Cathy. I told her that we didn't have any news. I don't remember the name.

23:20Speaker 2

She said, you know, contact her again if we need help.

23:28Speaker 1

But anyway, since no one saw it, I didn't really think about it, to be honest.

23:31Speaker 3

What was your plan for him? Did you think about what he was going to do?

23:38Speaker 1

No, I mean, I think we were going to talk about it after, you know, after the... Okay.

23:43 – 24:12Speaker 3

So, let me, let me, let me. It's snowing on my way. So, let me call him. His father, in fact, technically, it's with him that I treat, but let me, let me. Let me contact him and we'll talk to him, and then I'll talk to Grandad. Lin Wilds called me the other day and he told me to let me know that he had repaired his cutlery and that he had gone to Rockingham Road and that he had removed everything. Because on Rockingham Road, the bad ones were... Okay. It's one meter high.

24:14 – 24:35Speaker 1

Is it something that we are supposed to maintain or do you know? If we did it, is it a responsibility of the committee? As far as the maintenance of these panels, like that, you know, the weeds and all that, well, the landscaper who accepts to do what he is supposed to do.

24:35 – 25:06Speaker 3

So yes, Lynn, You know what? I never really asked Aline because he already did it before. He used to go there before. I don't think we got a disproportionate participation. I mean, the guys at Lille do these beautiful exhibitions. I don't think I see the same thing. So I actually have notes to go see the guy from La Marmotte. We'll just talk to him and see where he is. And then we can talk.

25:07Speaker 1

Eh bien parce que la marmotte s'arrêtait. Il n'allait rien faire.

25:12Speaker 3

Parce que Nathan allait prendre le contrôle.

25:16Speaker 1

Oui, je leur ai parlé.

25:16Speaker 3

Alors peut-être qu'ils se sont arrêtés et Nathan en a pas décroché.

25:20Speaker 1

Donc il ne faisait rien.

25:22Speaker 3

Et est-ce qu'on payait Nathan quelque chose ou ce truc ?

25:24Speaker 1

Non, son stage. Genre projet scolaire. Donc on sait la promotion de son entreprise.

25:33 – 29:08Speaker 3

Laissez-moi le contacter parce que j'ai en fait le... Rotary in our street. I made him come and I paid him for that. I told him to do it because I had forgotten what I was doing that month or something like that and I couldn't do it and it was my turn. So I told him to do it. Okay. So welcome to London Science. I spoke 10 days ago at the Rotary Club in the London region. They meet at 7 a.m. every Wednesday, I think. The code stop. And nice people. And... Beth, just so you know, I borrowed a hat and... Did you wear it or the president? Good idea, good idea. And I brought their banner from the Rotary Club so they can see that they were former participants. So their executive committee will meet tomorrow to decide, I don't think tonight, to decide how they will participate with us on these sites. And it will be either a... Contribution reasonably substantial, or put their name on several banners, maybe even on all of them. Or it could be something more, because during this case, I mentioned that we had lost the banner at Wendy's, but we no longer had the location, because of certain changes that had occurred in the environment. And we were considering a matter of state and all that kind of thing. And the president of the Rotary Club is a lawyer by the name of Jeremy Miller. And he caught me after the meeting and told me that he really wanted to do something more substantial than these posters. So he was going to present to the executive committee a more important gift to perhaps finance the replacement of panel 102, okay? So I asked him for more details. So I sent him a description of the place where we were planning to install the sign and an estimate of the cost which would be around 12.08 dollars. Unless we had to move it further away from the road. The higher size of this sign would be around 13.135 dollars. And it's for a new style of sign. If we stayed with these wooden signs, you could add 0.00 to 500 dollars extra to the proposal. Now, this number wouldn't be too much for me because, frankly, we should launch an offer and find other people. And I think there are other companies that make them, maybe not the wooden panels, but that make them again. It's a kind of urethane panel that's supposed to last longer, longer, and all kinds of things. So... What I did is that I said that I wanted to give this guy something to show to his frame. So I went to AI and I looked at our sign and I said, create a sign that shows a substantial gift from Rotary Club and what the sign might look like. And that's what he found.

29:12Speaker 1

Eh bien, je pense que s'ils veulent payer la facture, ils l'obtiennent. C'est ce que j'ai dit.

29:19 – 30:20Speaker 3

Je lui ai dit très clairement que c'était une affaire inspirée par l'IA et que ce ne serait peut-être pas le cas. Et au bout du compte, ce que je dois vous dire, c'est que j'avais une sorte de photo de travers de notre panneau. He did all the work, including the insertion of the logo. And it took, I don't know, two minutes. So I sent it to him and he immediately answered me. Thank you very much. You gave me a lot of things. I don't want to exaggerate this beautiful banner. Sorry, it's beautiful. I don't want to exaggerate. Okay. Two people came to see me after the presentation and told me, hey, we would like to put our name on the panels at each end of Mammoth Road. And we talked about it, maybe you know, zero million dollars on each side or something like that. Okay. So I think it's the fork. You know, we'll see. I think they'll finish. It's wonderful. We'll see.

30:24Speaker 2

Now, it's this one who, thanks to Lya, the sponsor, is much more important than the others, isn't it?

30:32Speaker 1

Well, yes, but if he pays as much money, they can have it.

30:37Speaker 2

Yeah, that's what we're going to see.

30:38 – 30:52Speaker 3

Pierre, if anyone wants to pay the bill in full, absolutely. A big bag. John. I was going to celebrate my wife, but I was going to celebrate two if there was one. I don't know if he does that. She filmed you.

30:52Speaker 1

She filmed you.

31:02 – 31:53Speaker 3

But anyway, we'll see where it goes and all, but I think they seem very interested and it's a very altruistic organization and they seem very interested in coming and helping us. They saw the value of Convera. The other thing I noticed is that when I removed all these banners, there were a few companies. Verani, we are one. And Apple Business. I'm going to make a mistake in the business world. Apple Business Systems. They still exist. They really exist. I looked them up on Google and they exist. They seem to specialize in accounting and other bookkeeping functions for, it seems, I remember trying it several times. It was abroad. I could try again because all the previous sponsor panels are broken because we have

32:16Speaker 2

if they want to continue.

32:19Speaker 3

No reason not to try.

32:20 – 32:38Speaker 1

Well, because I don't know if it was explicit when they talked about it. But I don't have the impression that when you sponsor, it's not indefinite. It should be a year, as if you had to renew your sign every year. I think it's great.

32:38Speaker 3

But the other, I don't think That it is a more difficult cell. It is not.

32:48Speaker 1

Or maybe it's a 2-year insurance. Do you get a 2-year insurance for a zero dollar and then after 2 years?

32:55 – 33:06Speaker 3

I don't know. Most of these organizations, the companies are different, but like the Rotary Club, it should be reviewed every year. They probably wouldn't do much.

33:06 – 33:20Speaker 1

Oh, no, no. I think with the amount they put in, he could have years. They didn't commit to that. No, but if he had done it, if he said it was a $13,000 badge, then for 13 years, he would get it there.

33:22 – 33:43Speaker 3

We could also, I could also. I just want to add, I could also see something maybe in the average. So they could come back and say $5,000 or something like that. So we don't know. They don't have, I don't know what their financial situation is. I don't know what they... They didn't seem disturbed by the numbers. So we'll see.

33:43Speaker 2

If I try to do that again, I wonder if I could get a copy of this IA to show him what we can do.

33:52Speaker 3

I don't think we're going to do that.

34:00Speaker 2

The other one.

34:02Speaker 1

The second one, but it should be a smaller panel because if you go to... work.

34:10Speaker 3

I could probably do something.

34:11Speaker 2

Because she would say, this is what we think, this is how your participation would be displayed.

34:25Speaker 3

A picture of an old sign, of our signs, where they are. You can see the sponsor's sign next to the sun.

34:35Speaker 2

The one they had before was small. It's what they were, that's what it is.

34:39Speaker 3

I know, but the one you show in the IA seems bigger.

34:45Speaker 2

Bigger, it's... For a big...

34:53 – 35:11Speaker 3

It's a brand new sign. It may be bigger than the sign we currently have. And here, it's a totally different situation. Okay, it was a big, unique donation, just in case he wanted to make a massive donation. Otherwise, we're going to use these banners. Okay, you know what it is.

35:12Speaker 2

What is your definition of a big?

35:14Speaker 3

Salary for a good part of it.

35:16Speaker 1

Okay, 5,000 dollars. Half or more, maybe.

35:19Speaker 3

We'll see. Okay, I mean, we'll see what they say.

35:22Speaker 1

This sign is proportional to the dollar.

35:24Speaker 3

I don't know.

35:27 – 35:42Speaker 1

You're making me look like a mercenary now, which is... No, I think it's... You know, we have to set realistic expectations. Well, yeah. Or shut up. I'm sorry. Everyone... Don't breathe. We're all going to have troubles because of this tape.

35:42Speaker 3

I'm going to sleep on the couch and you're going to go to jail. Perfect.

35:53 – 38:17Speaker 3

I will put aside the discussion on the letter of collection of funds unless there is an objection because I am simply not ready to do it. Autumn cleaning. We have our autumn cleaning on October 3rd. I can contribute to two things. I made an inventory of what we have at hand and I think everything is fine. What I intend to do, because someone mentioned the library, is that I will recover our documents at the library because they have been there and some of them have been on the ground several times and I will clean them and I will change the thick jackets in the bags of the library. I'm going to change them and put some of these new jackets in mesh because they will be a little more compact in the bags. and I will stop the city hall program the week before our cleaning and recover and use all this material and then store the store here. So I met Kyle at Max's and he's going to give us an apple for the cleaner so that we can give apples to all the participants. J'ai envoyé des lettres à tous les directeurs d'école pour leur demander de mettre notre truc sur leur panneau, leur chapiteau. Oui, c'est bien. Devant. J'ai aussi envoyé une lettre à Alisa. Et lui ai demandé de... Je lui ai envoyé une diapositive avec une annonce de notre truc et elle l'a envoyé. Ce sera sur Facebook, le truc Facebook de l'école et tout genre de choses. We have things like that. I will send an opinion to the Dare News and the Launder Times. The Launder Times for this section around the city and the Dare News call it otherwise and send it to them. The Laundry Times one is free, but the basic Dare News one is free. You can spend 15 or 20 dollars and you get something more flashy with the offer. So we hadn't met yet.

38:17Speaker 2

I didn't want to spend the money right now, but it could be an idea for the future.

38:23 – 38:45Speaker 3

So, I think, and I asked, I think, three tables and a few chairs and everything. So Mathuta, we're ready. It will be from 9 to 12. It will be from 9 to 12 on the 3rd and the rainy date is two weeks later. No, it's not the 10th, it's the 17th. Oh, two weeks. Two weeks later.

38:45Speaker 2

Because we talked about it. You said the following week.

38:48 – 39:00Speaker 3

It was a mistake. So it's the 17th. So... So... And it's Saturday. Who can come on October 3rd? It's been a while. It's been two. Maybe three.

39:01Speaker 1

I could probably come a little in the morning.

39:05Speaker 3

And if it's too much, don't worry.

39:10Speaker 1

No, it's just that it's my shopping day scheduled with Chiara for her birthday.

39:16Speaker 3

You know what?

39:17Speaker 1

But we're not going there at 9 a.m. The stores are not yet open.

39:19Speaker 3

You bring Corora with you, and that way you'll be inspired. It's always the first half hour that she's been able to charge.

39:26Speaker 1

So, I mean, I can do this game because we're going to Burlington Mall.

39:31Speaker 2

Oh, we did the last one.

39:35Speaker 1

Ching, the girls have class.

39:38Speaker 2

The only thing I know is that I can't do the 17th.

39:42Speaker 3

It doesn't matter because I already talked to Betsy, I told her that if we were sure that it would rain or something like that, she would intervene.

39:49Speaker 2

I have a question about this. I thought we had bought a certain number of these green shirts last year. They are not.

39:57Speaker 1

There was a boy, there was a group of scouts who agreed. There were like groups of children.

40:04Speaker 2

Okay. With what we have left, there is not much left.

40:09 – 40:46Speaker 3

Well, there aren't a lot of them. But we have sweaters in mesh. So what I think is that when people come to pick up the children, we will give them the SOM mesh. And I think it will allow us to get out of it. And then, when we get out of it, we will decide, because I don't know if we're going to make more T-shirts or more sweaters or whatever, because I think the mesh sweaters you made, John, that's it. I like them. They are easy. They are certainly easier to manage for me from the point of view of laundry.

40:48Speaker 1

As we are in October, it could be cold. So you're not necessarily going to give a t-shirt to a child. Using a vest is actually better.

40:57 – 41:14Speaker 3

And we will have a lot of them. Well, not many, we have a few for adults. So if someone comes and wants a night shirt, because that's why they are all medium to large size. If it was a night shirt, we could give it to someone. We can make sure it works.

41:14Speaker 2

If you want it, we have to do it now. If you don't want it, it's okay.

41:21Speaker 3

I will finally suggest, according to everyone's comments, that we keep things in suspense. Because the funds are not the best for the moment.

41:28Speaker 1

And I always have stickers, because I have a lot of stickers and magnets at home. So it's another little thing we can give people if they want.

41:38Speaker 2

Maybe the best thing to do if we think about t-shirts is to think about t-shirts. That's what I say.

41:45Speaker 1

We only make t-shirts in the spring because it's generally a little warmer.

41:51Speaker 2

We want to do it. Because people think more about t-shirts in the spring than they do in the winter.

41:56Speaker 1

That's what I say. The vest will be worn over someone's sweatshirt or something better. It's easier.

42:01Speaker 3

Do I forget something for the autumn cleaning?

42:06Speaker 2

Is there anything else we should think about?

42:09Speaker 3

I'm going to put panels on my road bike. You know, go last week. I hope some of these political banners will be removed.

42:19Speaker 2

They should be. They are supposed to be, I think, in two weeks. You know what? I'm not sure to see them appear. I don't know if I'm talking about those who are lost.

42:27Speaker 3

I think most of them are removed, but they are always.

42:29Speaker 2

Those of the November election, they always have the right to be displayed, I think.

42:37 – 42:48Speaker 1

But yeah, I didn't see the results. Well, no, you're right. Or it's almost as if you knew who, I don't know, who put these banners on.

42:49Speaker 2

There are all kinds of different people who are in their committee or who are responsible for

43:07Speaker 3

Yes, it should be. There is enough space between the primary and the election. I would be sorry to see the winners remove the lures and put them back in place.

43:18 – 44:13Speaker 1

Yes, I know. I think some of them would bother people to mow their lawn or mow the trees, so they should remove them. It's just my opinion. I must say that I went to the parade. You know, I was there for the parade because... I don't know what committees they are... Pompomp Girl? And even the guys who do the reconstitutions and the people who come from other cities to play the tambour and the cleon. It was cool. You know, but there is all this politics.

44:13Speaker 2

And I said to myself, well, when there is an electoral year, you will have that.

44:18Speaker 1

No, I know. I'm just saying.

44:23 – 45:06Speaker 3

You know. So I don't know if I have an answer for October 3rd. It looks like you've done everything. I think we're in good shape. So we're going to make it. And I think you and I are the same. We have, in any case, reduced things a bit to a science in terms of... So we'll see what happens. I met Jimmy Lauzan, the guy from football, the other day. Because he was at the hospital during the summer and he didn't do the spring. So he's going to think about it, but I told him he wasn't going before October. And I told him not to go too late in October. I told him, you know what, we're going to work or not. I said, as soon as I get you back with Crochet.

45:06Speaker 2

He said, that's it.

45:08 – 46:03Speaker 3

For the others, the ADM mix which is the 7th of October, Wind Waste, will probably take place on the 3rd of October, but I haven't heard from him yet. He seems to always coordinate with our cleaning. Bosch will contact me again. He doesn't have a date yet. It will be in October. Trainmoving does not sell in the fall. But they will be replaced in the fall by Waste Management WM, which is now registered. Without us. They paid and their registration is over. And so they will do it on October 17th. So I still have to get a Bosch calendar and just confirm Win-Waste and then we'll be ready with the guys from Sponsor Road.

46:03Speaker 1

What does Bosch do?

46:08Speaker 3

They make this one. They make household appliances.

46:11Speaker 1

Do they make these models well?

46:13Speaker 3

High-end. But I was hoping it wouldn't be just that. I think it's like an office. For them, I don't think there's... They make.

46:21Speaker 1

I think they make in Germany.

46:22Speaker 3

Something like that.

46:23Speaker 1

What I mean, I buy Bosch ice cream cans. I'm a snob.

46:27 – 46:41Speaker 3

Well, and Bosch also manufactures ... ... cauldrons or gas stoves or something like that. They are big, but they are very ... Yeah, they're fine.

46:43Speaker 1

We have a dishwasher and I love it. It's a Bosch. He's incredible. And he's tough.

46:53 – 47:04Speaker 3

Ryan has, in the kitchen over there, in Massachusetts, all the Bosch equipment. And then the other day I talked to him, he told me, well, his wife is considering renovating the kitchen.

47:04Speaker 2

And I just have your appliances. I have your stuff. You know what you're going to do?

47:08Speaker 3

You're going to buy new ones. Well, you're going to regret it.

47:15Speaker 1

It will be broken. And you know, if it is used intensively, it will not last.

47:23 – 47:34Speaker 3

We talked about new potential members. Okay. I haven't talked to anyone yet about putting something on Facebook and trying to recruit our own members.

47:34Speaker 2

I haven't talked about it yet. I'm going to do it because we can't...

47:44Speaker 3

So we're going to find a solution.

47:46 – 48:05Speaker 2

The volunteerism is in decline. Whatever. Yeah, it's hard. We have to talk about fundraising, but once again, I've prepared for tonight. I have your letter, stupid, that you wrote, right?

48:05 – 48:57Speaker 3

You didn't do fundraising? In terms of things I've prepared... C'est tout ce que j'ai. Donc, je vais passer aux commentaires. Vous savez, la table ronde.

48:58 – 49:12Speaker 2

Il y a quelque chose à ajouter ici ? Je ne pense pas. Je ne sais pas. Êtes-vous satisfait de l'axe ?

49:25Speaker 3

So it's almost as if it was the one who contacts you first?

49:52Speaker 1

Ce n'est pas une préférence. Il n'y a certainement pas de préférence entre Max et Sunny.

49:56Speaker 3

Non. La seule chose qui était bien avec Max, c'est que lorsqu'il a fait la glace la seule fois, il ne nous a rien facturé.

50:07Speaker 3

Ce qui était vraiment un plus. Et c'est franchement un plus en ce moment parce que... Eh bien, il nous facture là.

50:15Speaker 1

Nous avons payé la moitié.

50:16Speaker 2

Je pensais que nous n'avions rien payé.

50:18 – 50:31Speaker 1

J'ai dit que nous restons avec Max. So when these companies are going to make their way or others, they sponsor a person on the road. They made a donation, didn't they?

50:31Speaker 3

They paid 250 dollars.

50:34 – 50:48Speaker 1

So if there was still ice and it's unfortunately seasonal, would we be able to say if there were 20 people at Bosch, could we use these tickets to help them with the sponsor? Whatever we need.

50:50 – 51:08Speaker 3

We absolutely did it. I was just curious. The first time Max gave us apples, he gave me a ridiculous number and I ended up with two boxes and I gave one to the firefighters, one to the police. Okay, it's just crazy. I mean, it was way too much. But yes, we can.

51:08Speaker 1

I was just curious to know if we had this ability to extend it thanks to these committees.

51:18Speaker 3

I don't think I brought it to the sponsor or on the road, guys. But you also have to take a break, don't you? Because you don't want to.

51:24Speaker 1

Because it's like the ice cream is going to close soon, don't you? You know?

51:28Speaker 3

And you don't want to have rotten apples.

51:32Speaker 1

Well, if he gives you a bunch of apples, let me know and I'll make a whole bunch of apple chips and you can deliver them.

51:41 – 52:03Speaker 3

And Kyle was great. So I was able to talk to him a little bit. He has this restaurant thing, from the farm to the table. How does it work? How? It's moving forward. It's moving forward? I think they got the green light to do some of the interior work. I think it's the interior work that was approved. And to do a little painting, etc.

52:03Speaker 2

outside the building. So the idea is to use local products and local meat too.

52:11 – 52:35Speaker 1

I think so. I don't know who makes meat here, except that I know that when you go out on the 102, near the JNF farms. There's a farm, so if you go east, there's a farm that says, our own beef and beef, but I don't know anything else. It's on the other side too, I think. Because I thought I might have to go see that. Because...

52:41 – 52:53Speaker 3

I don't know, I'm sure he's doing something. There is Betsy and I thought that in Bedford we went to a restaurant that served breakfast and lunch and that was the farm at the table. It's like a little chain or something like that. Double name.

52:53Speaker 1

Not this first toast where it's a smaller heart or a breadcrumbs, something like that.

53:00Speaker 3

Friendly toast.

53:01Speaker 1

Friendly toast, it's like the name, I think. It looks more like a chain.

53:06 – 53:18Speaker 3

But it was nice, you know, it was more relaxed. I think he has something a little... Well, he wants to do it. No, he looks like he's doing well. But he's a nice guy too. So...

53:18Speaker 1

Better for him. I'm going to go.

53:23Speaker 2

We could use the... Do you have anything? No. Someone? No one else? Do you have a motion? I suggest we leave him alone. Yes.

53:34Speaker 1

Press the button.

53:36Speaker 2

supported by BEP. All those who are for it. I agree with the president.

53:40Speaker 3

Thank you very much guys. I appreciate that everyone came tonight.
