Hayes Post 57 James Davidson, Adjutant, Fred E. Hayes Post 57 addressed the Council regarding a Grandview Legion Post Fundraising Drive. He explained that for about ten years, the Grandview Legion Post conducted a fundraiser called "Penny a Day." This traditionally was done during the month of February through school campaigns, store donation cans and public appeals. The funds raised through the campaign have gone to support many local organizations and schools as well as a number of veteran/military related groups both regionally and nationally. The last two years have hampered fundraising efforts due to the pandemic. Also, due to theft of community donation cans and limited or no participation by all of the nationally-based franchises in the community, they were not able to run the campaign in February this year due to unexpected illness or hospitalizations of some of their members. He requested the Grandview Legion Post be allowed Regular Meeting Minutes March 8, 2022 Page 2 to collect donations in the street by the Museum from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 26, 2022 with limited Public Works assistance with traffic cones, etc. Council concurred to allow the Grandview Legion Post Fundraising Drive on Saturday, March 26, 2022 from 9 am to 1 pm in the street by the Museum. 4.
