For Possible Action – Discussion and deliberation on using “on-the-spot” Certificates of Appreciation for immediate thank you for committee participation, contributions, or actions. This process would not require a committee agenized item or approval from our members, rather the approval would be via the Pahrump Veterans Memorial Advisory Committee, Chair, or Vice Chair. Alice Lubbers stated using “Thank You” cards would be much easier to use rather than “Certificates of Appreciation.” The cards can easily be made via Microsoft Publisher software. She will bring samples to the September meeting. Carl Jones made the motion to use “Thank You” cards for “On the Spot” awards. Beverly Baker seconded. Motion was approved. 15.
