Hi. American Canyon Mayor, Cecil Shaver will be reading a Proclamation for
our Veterans in appreciation of their service at the 11/3/05 City
Council Meeting which begins at 7:30 p.m. The Proclamation will be read
again at the Veterans Appreciation Ceremony on Veterans Day which will be held
in front of the Am Cyn Police Department on 11/11/05 @ 11:00 a.m. (If you
attend, you can not only extend a personal thanks to military veterans, but you
can find out why the 11th day of the 11th month at 11:00 a.m. is so significant
to this day.) Anyway, I sure hope you all get a chance to attend the City
Council meeting and/or Veteran's Day Appreciation Ceremony. The ceremony
is being organized by City of Am Cyn, American Canyon Troop Support (ACTS) and
the Am Cyn VFW #11099. Fran Lemos, ACTS and Am Cyn Starbucks will be providing
refreshments at the end of the Veterans Day Ceremony. So, spread the word!!!
Hope to see you there. Sindy.
