Business
Discussion on continuance of Quarterly Newsletter for anyone who does not have access to the
internet - motioned by Don Keller, seconded by all
Idea proposed to start our own 82nd Engineers store. 1 person would have to volunteer
to be in charge and handle all orders. Very time consuming for that individual and the proposal should be discussed further
at a future date and a detailed plan formed.
Voted that the breakdown of reunion fees would continue the same way. There would be different
prices depending on how many days a person was attending. Voted on and approved by all.
Reminder brought up that everyone should keep their name tags and bring them back in 2010 in
order to save on costs.
Confirmed that the reunions would continue every 2 years. It was noted that
if anyone wanted to host and put together a mini reunion during the off years that would be great. Eddie stated that he would
post all the information on the website.
2010 reunion will be held in Myrtle Beach, SC sometime in October. More information will be
forthcoming.
Discussed a need for a archive / historian specialist. Any memorabilia could be given to Bill
Munden. He will archive the items and bring them to the reunions to display .
It was noted again this year that if anyone needed help in obtaining their old rosters that
they could speak to Paul Green to get the information on how to contact St. Louis. Everyone was encouraged to reach out to
find old buddies and members. That is really the mission and the whole purpose behind us.
It was suggested and unanimously agreed upon that a table be set in rememberance
of all missing vets. Six (6) chairs will be set at the table to signify each of the branches of our military. The table will
be set with a rose in the middle at all future gatherings.
A POW/MIA chair cover will be purchased with reunion funds. The purchase
was voted and unanimously passed.
Noted that the auction took $1685.00. Thanks to all and to Paul Green. It
was a great time.

Closing prayer was given by our Chaplain Larry Swart
