WHAT TIME SHOULD WE HAVE THE MEETING? I STILL LIKE 7.30 LOTS OF TIME TO SHOOT THE S— AND THEN MAKE IT OUT TO THE SERVICES. SHOULD THE CMT SASKATOON CHAPTER BUY A WREATH THAT SARG. COULD LAY FOR US? MANY CLUBS AND FAMILIES LAY THEIR OWN WREATHS.
Talked to Sarge about the ideas.
The Service starts about 10:10AM, and he suggests being in your seat by 10AM. So coffee at the 51st St. T.H. about 8 or 8:30 then?
He says that we could certainly buy and lay a wreath, but he won't be able to do it as he has to get back to his unit immediately after the services. But he will sit with us as he doesn't have to be on the floor anymore. Ahh, the benefits and privledges of rank!
That's a great idea guys. I would join you except our unit goes out to Delisle for their ceremonies. Let me know how much I owe.
Excellent Idea - I am pretty sure I will not be there this coming thurs but would like to contribute towards the wreath as well.
I will be working but if someone will toss in some coin for me, I'll gladly pay them back whenever I can!
I am in for coffee and the wreath. I will have to check and see what my family schedule is for the ceremonies….
So who is buying the wreath?
I have no idea where to get one.
Buy one at the downtown Legion
WELL AS SARGE SAID THE LEGION IS THE PLACE TO BUY IT DOWNTOWN AND POOGA YOU SEEM TO BE THE CLOSEST TO THE LEGION SO WOULD YOU MIND DOING THE HONOURS FOR US? NOW I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE BK OR AND POOGA FOR THE PLACING OF THE WREATH AS THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS TO COUGH MY FOOL HEAD OFF AT THE PLACING OF THE WREATH. WOULD HAVE LIKED A MEMBER IN UNIFORM BUT THEY BOTH SEEM BUSY…OR MAYBE WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO GO DOWN AS A GROUP IF IT IS AT THE VERY END DURING THE PUBLIC PLACEMENTS AND THEY ALLOW MORE THAN A TWO PERSON PARTY TO PLACE A SINGLE WREATH. THIS CAN BE TALKED ABOUT AT THE COFFEE MEETING 51 ST. STREET LOCATION THIS COMING WEEK ONLY CJ AND MR. CJ PLEASE ATTEND. POOGA MAYBE POST A NOTE ON WHAT WREATH COST US AND WE CAN ALL HAVE OUR MONEY READY. BK IF THE CMT KILT WILL FIT YA PLEASE CONTACT DR. FOR IT SO YOU CAN WEAR IT NOV. 11.
7.30 AM I'LL BE THERE (AS USUAL AROUND 8).
I will be there for coffee and am in for the wreath…
I just talked to Doug at the dowtown Legion and they have 3 differenet sizes
08" >>>> $28.00
14" >>>> $45.00
20" >>>> $65.00
If you guys want I can pick one up and deliver it to someone that is going. JD might be my best bet – or I can drop it off at BC's Compound.
I think we should go for the 20" Let me know !
JD IS THE ONLY BET AS I AM NEVER IN THE COMPOUND EXCEPT TO FEED MY JD IN THE WINTER AND MY JD WOULD EAT THE WREATH.
I PERSONALLY THINK THE 14" WOULD BE FINE BUT I WILL GO WITH WHAT EVER THE REST OF YOU WANT. LMK MARK
I'm in for $5.
So whatever you collect is what we get.

I'm in for $5.00 as well….
THE KING OF 5'S IS ALSO IN FOR $5.00 SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN FOR ME.
'm in for $5.

Remember, the wreath isn't a one time thing, you go pick it up afterwards, and we can lay it every year.
We're in for $5 each ($10)
I'll do $5 also. They'll likely wonder 'Who are these guys?', as it sounds like we'll have enough for the BIG wreath
DOES OUR NAME GET PUT ON THE WREATH? IF IT DOES AND WE GET TO KEEP IT AS CJ SAYS THEN I WILL UP MY SHARE TO $10.00 ALSO AND I PUT A MOTION FORWARD TO ELECT SARGE TO BE THE KEEPER OF THE WREATH IF HE WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINATION. AND I CAN GET A SECOND TO THE MOTION. IT MAKES A GUY PROUD (PROUD CANADIAN) TO SUGGEST A WREATH AND GET SUCH A WONDERFUL RESPONSE. KINDA CHOKES ME UP … I GUESS I'LL BUY THE DONUTS FOR THE NOV. 11TH. MEETING.
sounds good you have a seconder !!!!
Dr. JD
WE HAVE NOW GOT A NOMINATION ON THE FLOOR TO ELECT SARGE AS THE KEEPER OF THE WREATH. SARGE WILL YOU STAND FOR THIS POSITION IN WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN NOMINATED. PLEASE STATE YOUR REPLY IN THIS PUBLIC FORUM SO WE MAY THEN MAKE IF OFFICIAL. VOTING SHALL COMMENCE UPON SARGE'S ACCEPTANCE TO RUN.
Like I said earlier, if someone throws in a five or a ten for me, whichever is decided, I will pay them back ASAP and with my thanks to whomever does!
I will pick up the tab for Wally. Wally can repay me the next time we cross paths at a coffee meeting… :o)

Looks like we have enough for the large wreath yahoo. If they charge both taxes the total will be $74.10 – I will check into this.
I will pick up and pay for the wreath then drop it off at JD's if he doesn't mind as I will not be able to attend the services. Thanx Big Guy
Pooga if you would so kindly collect from everyone that is there that day I would appreciate it. I picked you because of the lousy eastern pool tickets LOL Thanx Pooga. For those that are not there I can send you an address to mail the money to or I will catch you at another coffee meeting.
I do believe we can keep the wreath and think we will probably have to put our own name on it. I will check.
