The Veterans Committee meeting held on June 5, 2025, in Miami Lakes focused on planning for an upcoming fundraising event and discussed logistics for the next committee meeting.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to organizing a race event, with discussions around pricing for preregistration. The committee agreed to set preregistration fees at $25 until September 30, followed by an early bird rate of $30 throughout October, and a final rate of $35 from November 1 until race day. This pricing structure was unanimously approved by the committee members.

The committee also addressed race categories, deciding to maintain the same eight age categories as in previous years, with separate divisions for male and female participants. This decision was made to ensure consistency and to enhance participation. The committee expressed enthusiasm for the event, with members noting the importance of awards such as ribbons and trophies for participants.

Looking ahead, the next Veterans Committee meeting is scheduled for July 3, 2025. However, some members raised concerns about attendance due to the July 4 holiday. The committee plans to continue its collaboration with the American Legion for future events, emphasizing the importance of community involvement.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the committee's commitment to supporting veterans through organized events and fundraising efforts, while also fostering community engagement.
