Thank you, Madam President. Immediately after Council there's going to be a very short briefing being held by the Hero Scholarship Thrill Show Committee to give us an update on where they are and what they've been doing and what their plans in the future are. This Council has worked very hard to kind of get back in shape the Hero Scholarship Fund, and the people on very hard to get the Thrill Show back together, led by Chairman Jim Binns. So I would ask either Councilmembers or staff people to please stop by and give them a few minutes of your time. They've worked very hard and they've been waiting. So thank you.
