Opening

Pledge of Allegiance

Financial Report - given by Eddie Joe Cozart

Website Account - $1963.00

Reunion Fund - $4680.00 (before 2008 reunion costs taken out)

Elections

Treasurer - Eddie Cozart - nominated by Bob Roby, 2nd by Rich Ozark, all were in favor

Secretary - Debbie Ozark - nominated and approved by all

Historian Specialist - Bill Munden - nominated by Eddie Cozart and approved by all

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

Closing prayer was given by our Chaplain Larry Swart
