Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for July 14, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />Donation of Tracked Wheel Chair to the Yellow Ribbon Network — Jerry Moerke <br />Yellow Ribbon Network Update <br />A loyal business sponsor of the Welcome Home Pheasant Hunt Jerry Moerke was present with <br />his son. Jerry is an avid member of Wildwings who knows someone who makes chairs for the <br />disabled to hunt. Jerry recently sold his business and wanted to give back to the community by <br />donating an $16,000 tracked motorized wheelchair so handicapped veterans can participate in <br />outdoor activities. The City Council expressed their appreciation for the donation and <br />recognized how much the use of the chair will mean to our wounded warriors. <br />Council Members Klein and Haas provided an update on the Yellow Ribbon Network. The <br />YRN received a flag that was flown over the base in Afghanistan and a Certificate of <br />Appreciation for the work of the YRN. Haas showed pictures from a ceremony for a Coronal <br />and the Norwegian exchange program trip. The YRN assisted an Air Force veteran to get to his <br />medical appointment through a MN Disabled Veterans program. An unemployed veteran was <br />connected to necessary programs to assist him. A female veterans group is having a retreat at the <br />Vets camp ground on Big Marine Lake. The YRN helped a Gold Star Mom get a flag for a <br />soldier's family. Xcel energy was last month's Hamburger Night Sponsor. This month's sponsor <br />will be Wilson Tool. A kennel was found for a military family's dogs to be taken care of for a <br />few weeks. A Washington County YRN picnic meeting will be held next Wednesday. A $900 <br />donation was received from Mark Schwope. Mark is also a pheasant hunt field sponsor, and he <br />will sponsor Hamburger Night in August. <br />Special Event Permit for Hugo Lions Club Circus on July 26 & 27, 2014 — Pete Pedersen <br />The Hugo Lions Club is sponsoring the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus at Lions Park on <br />Saturday June 26 and Sunday, June 27.
