Good morning. Welcome to the uh February session of the Charles County Liquor Board. Ms. Wesley, first item. Our first item is a retail delivery update from Liquor Outlet Waldorf LLC. Mr. Patel is here. Good morning, Chairman and members of the board. Sorry, I wasn't here for the last one when I had a family emergency. For November, we had 53 deliveries, no unsuccessful. In December, we had 65 with one unsuccessful, the one unsuccessful was uh the client had a vertical ID, not so we we didn't they were of age, but we we didn't uh provide them the service because of that we don't serve any vertical IDs as per our uh yeah so sorry. And then in uh January we only had 14 because we it was closed while I was overseas uh attending to family okay. So 53 in November, 65 in December, and 14 in January? Yes, sir. And out of those only one unsuccessful? Correct. Okay, so it seems I mean outside of January, because you were out of time, it seems to be um picking up a month. And I assume some of that had to do with the holiday timing and as well, you know, we did get a few orders around that time uh leading up to the holidays, but um we did shut down on the holiday uh prior, the eaves, uh, Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve, just because it was too busy in the store to actually handle the store and do the deliveries at the same time and prepare orders and everything. So we didn't want to uh have any kind of errors happening, so we just had closed down just for those couple days. Okay. Not really. Is this better? Okay. Uh interesting questions from the board. Ms. Simmons. I just had a curious question. Um if the question never was posed, um, how to help other people um other establishments get to where you are, would you be willing to do that, or how do you feel about um other establishments you know, doing what you're doing? Are you asking as uh consultant to the liquor board or as a consultant to like the other just in general? If another establishment come and ask you how are you doing this and how do you feel about it? I mean you'd be more of a on a positive end of telling them, hey, this is a good idea. Absolutely, because this is county's big. We can't cover everybody in all the places, so we'd be more than happy to share uh the the good data we have and the procedures we've set in place for others to hopefully follow the same the way we're doing so that you know they they can also have a small uh error rate that we're f they're getting now. Okay, thank you. I appreciate
