Beyond the <br />Yellow Ribbon is a comprehensive program that creates awareness for the purpose of <br />connecting military service members, veterans, and their families with community support, <br />training, services, and resources. <br />A group of community leaders from the American Legion Post 566, Lino Lakes Lions Club, <br />Chain of Lakes Rotary Club, and the Lino Lakes City Council have met several times to <br />support this effort. The City of Lino Lakes hosted a kick-off event on October 6, 2015 by <br />inviting other community leaders to learn about the program in order to generate more <br />community support. Other neighboring communities are also engaged in this process. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve Resolution No. 15-129, supporting Lino Lakes becoming a Beyond the Blue Ribbon <br />Community. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Resolution No. 15-129 <br />
