I know the chief was there with a number of the police officers. Commander back there was there as well. Beautiful weather. Nice memorial. And then I also want to give a shout out to Amy DeBoney for the village blood drive, the community blood drive that took place today. She always puts a lot of effort into that. It looked like a good turnout. So again, anybody at home who wants to donate blood, do it just takes a few minutes. It was really very nice. It was well attended by a lot of our first responders all the way around, past and present. And I would say Chief Bonomo did a wonderful job. So it and I was there, excuse me, Trustee Kiefer and I were both there. And it just it's just a very special event, and um to miss miss out on that at this point in time is so important to never forget. Thank you. Um I just real quick wanted to talk on something that the school did, I don't know if it was district wide, but I know that it was IRA. Um, they did some pretty powerful things in our PE classrooms to um commemorate 9-11 with different workouts and stuff like that. Um, just giving our kids perspective of some of the flights that um our first responders had to go up in some of the physical exertion that um that occurred on the day, and um it was really sobering for my kids. So um I commend the school district on um putting things like that um just to remind our kids of the history of things that happened. Um and on a slightly more positive note, um, we had Harvest Fest on Saturday. Um, so there was a number of small businesses that participated in that, and it was a really special event, just everybody coming together to support the arts, build community. Um it was really special. So special shout out to uh Sovereign was there with food, Harvest Moon Tattoo, who ran the whole entire event and was incredible, and then um workforce was a pretty big part of it too. So um thank you to our uh community businesses and our community that came out.
