A comment or question was raised at the EC meeting last evening
about the process involved with getting plaques and bricks
sandblasted.
Ronald, Rebecca and I met for lunch today (thanks Rebecca
for a great lunch) and drafted a directive that should provide a map for us
to follow, as well as those who will follow us. As we move "on down the
road" there might be adjustments, but we believe that this is easily
workable.
In addition, I have added two persons to the Credentials Committee,
specifically for the very important proofing of the final stencil: Wanda Maddox
and Betty Levans. These ladies will take a considerable burden from
the Chair.
My daily stop by the Park found the county almost ready for the
final pouring. I think they will pour as soon as this incoming rain passes -- I
approved the placement of the fire pit and the foundation for the Bell Tower

In addition to the plaques reported in process last night, I turned
over to Ronald 4 more (with money) today. ---- Just received an email about 4
more end plaques very possible ----

CCVMP ENGRAVING PROCESS
1. The Credentials Chair will meet with a person
seeking to purchase a plaque and determine the acceptability of the
Veteran. The precise wording for the
plaque will be determined and the applicant will sign the agreement.
2. The Credentials Chair will collect
the correct funds ($200 or $300) and forward the check to the Treasurer who
will record by name.
3. When 48 plaques have been sold (one
side of a wall) the Credentials Chair will meet with the Treasurer to ascertain
that all records match and then meet with Sammy Robinson to submit the work.
4. Applications for bricks should be
processed by collecting specific wording with the signature of the
requestor. They should be accumulated
until 20 bricks are ready and then meet with Sammy.
5. End wall plaques should be processed
at the same time a new wall is processed. But, when there is enough combination
of end plaques and bricks waiting for engraving, contact Sammy for a meeting.
End plaques should be processed in groups of 4 so that the entire end is
sandblasted at one time. Persons buying
four plaques at one time can select any wall that is open at the time.
6. Once the information is turned over
to Sammy, he will forward to the stencil company to have the stencil cut. Once that is returned, the Credentials review
Committee should very carefully compare the actual stencil with the original
(signed) application for the plaque.
7. Once the Committee approves the
stencil is returned to Sammy for sandblasting.
