 Master Spreadsheet: Contains every gas station and rest stop along the route at each specific mile. Tells what mile each runner is at and what vehicle the next runners are in. * The Spreadsheet is attached

2. Raising and lowering the flag at football games: The game schedule can be found online at http://www.vstateblazers.com/mfootball/schedule.php. Only need to raise the flag for home games.

3. Antique Show: Hosted every Fall Semester in September by the Garden Center. Requires 8 to 10 volunteers over three days to assist with loading and unloading vendors into Mathis City Auditorium.

4. Veteran’s Day Ceremony: Held at Lowndes County High School on November 11. Will need four volunteers to perform the POW/MIA table while a fifth volunteer reads the narration. The Air Force hats worn by the volunteers for the ceremony can be found with the D&C Flight CC and the box with everything you need will be in the Dark Room. Note: The only things not supplied in the POW/MIA supply box are lemons and salt. Lessons Learned/Comments

1. Do not wait until the last minute to begin planning the POW/MIA run if you choose to tackle it. Even though the time span I had to bring it together was unrealistic I learned the hard way that time management is key.

2. Ensure you delegate and follow up with the members under you, and not just the ones on the officer roster form. Use EVERYONE! It is the only successful way to pull off the run.

3. Some things to consider: a) Updating the POW/MIA table supplies. 1. New table cloth 2. Glue fake lemons and salt to plate 3. Something to hold down the tablecloth for when performing the table outside 4. Female Service Caps b) Running for an Area or National position c) Improving the AAS office d) More POW/MIA or Veterans events Important Forms
