The three iteins that were discussed and approved were passed on to Finance and are on the agenda this evening for final approval. Council President Saponaro asked, are there any other In-Committee Status Reports? Mrs. Mills replied, yes, I would like to talk about the Flag Retirement. Mayfield Women's Club sponsors, through the guidance of Betty Jo Mooney, a flag retirement which was on Flag Day at the Fire Department. I would like to thank Assistant Fire Chief Girbino, Scout Leaders 289 and the Scouts. They did a wonderful job. We disposed of about 900 flags this year. Please save your flags. We are going to do it again next year. Except for the rain, it was very well attended. The rain did not inhibit us at all. We went on with the ceremony. Council President Saponaro asked, can you explain what they do with the flags? Mrs. Mills replied, someone gave me a flag tonight. These embroidered stars, the ladies from the Women's Club cut those out,.put them on a little card with a nice saying -and give them to Veterans in the hospitals. It's a good project all the way around. So please save your flags and bring them up here to the Civic Center. Council President Saponaro stated, maybe we can get a bin or soinething where we can put them in so if it's not open and someone wants to-drop one off on the weekend. I know there is something out there. Mrs. Mills might have an idea.
