DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Receive a presentation of the Friends of the Veterans Monument 2016 Annual Report.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Friends of the Veterans Monument (FVM) (C2966953), a 501(c)(3) public benefit organization is authorized by County of El Dorado Ordinance 4743 to conduct Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies at and oversee improvements to the El Dorado County Veterans Monument, at 360 Fair Lane, Placerville. FVM is a non-membership organization that also raises funds and conducts programs to help El Dorado County veterans and their families. When doing so, FVM uses the dba, El Dorado County Veterans Alliance. This name is used to lessen confusion when FVM is raising funds for local veterans causes, as otherwise donors are confused that their gifts would go only to the Veterans Monument.
