OK.. I hope this didn't sound like I had my feelings hurt but as I read it that is what it sounded to me... I just meant that good if I don't have to meet with him cuz he kind of scared me... and I do find myself needing more time to do other things with taking care of 2 grandson now. I had forgotten how much time is taken up with a new born and how much I worry about them. So if someone else wants to take the city manager bull by the horns ... please do....as I feel that my only help to the cause is going to be to be a participant...

So if someone wants to make contact with the city manager and lay the plan out... I can help the cause what ever it may be by paying my registration and showing up. I was not going to him for his approval... I was just going to show him (as a courtesy) what we were up to as far as continuing the event.

The city manager is the man who has the say on weather you get the park or not .We were donating to them ,not the other way around.The Post thought so much of me and Lois that they didn't even invite us the the Post Christmas luncheon .I guess if we had raised 11,000.00 we would have been invited? The Police dept had no part in any of the planning ,organizing or anything other than benefiting from the event,The closing off the roads for our cruise and the escort or things they should do for any event in a small town.Don't be fooled in telling you how much work and support they give you.They got paid and it is their job..Keep it simple and keep it yours, and by that I mean all of your and ours and not an outside group that has no interest what so ever in what you do.

I also strongly believe that our group can come up with a name without the supervision of a police chief. my nickles worth
