Andy - after reading the email from the VFW, I am still not clear about the National Anthem & Pledge - did they talk to you about that? thanks, K On Friday, October 25, 2013 9:23 AM, Bob Robeson <bobroby@xxxxxxx> wrote: CFM Committee members and Chuck Palmore, I wasn’t able to talk with Chuck P. after our meeting so I’m passing on my thoughts to him via this email, with copies to the CFM Committee. I (we) are very appreciative of Chuck for stepping up to be “Master of Ceremony” for the Dedication. I want him to be comfortable in his position and understand he’s running the show from the Opening Ceremony to the end of the program of speakers, presenter’s / ribbon cutting / helicopter water drops. Once the audience is excused to go visiting, look at displays and eat, his function should be over with. Any further PA instructions can come from the CFM Committee members as needed. Cristina Smith volunteered to be “time keeper” for Chuck to help with meeting the time constraints of the program, especially considering the fly over schedule. I believe it will be up to all of us on the Committee to direct VIP speakers / presenters, or their representatives, to Chuck well before the start of the program so he can brief them and make sure they know their seating and sequence in the program etc. We should expect some speaker(s) may be late arrivals and re-arranging their sequence in the program will have to take place due to the Fly over schedule. The front row of audience chairs should be flagged for the speakers / presenters well before the program starts. I’ll brief the VFW Color Guard when they arrive and see who’s going to provide the National Anthem music, and how. If anyone knows that answer please let me know. Any other suggestions or comments are welcome.
