BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE <br />The first project was a commemorative medallion that was produced in bronze, <br />in silver and in vermeil. It was first offered for sale in the spring. Sales <br />are good, and the corporation estimates a year end net profit of over $30,000. <br />Based on sales success in 1974, a non - bicentennial year, the corporation has an <br />optimistic outlook for follow -on sales during the bicentennial years 1975 and 1976. <br />The second project is a bicentennial historic booklet that will focus on <br />the national and international reactions to, and the eventual changes brought <br />about by the events of April 19, 1775. The booklet, scheduled for sale in <br />February 1975, is being developed under the supervision of a bicentennial sub- <br />committee. It is being written by Martin Sandler and John Neal, both respected <br />authors of American history textbooks at the high school and college levels. <br />Ginn /Xerox, a Lexington -based publisher, is providing managerial advice and <br />assistance through Frank Masten. <br />The third project will be a bicentennial poster. To obtain the best poster <br />possible the corporation is conducting a widely - publicized poster contest. A <br />panel of qualified judges will award a first prize of $500 and a second prize of <br />$300. In addition, the two winning posters will be produced commercially and <br />sold at the Visitors' Center and other appropriate outlets. <br />The Lexington Bicentennial Committee is hopeful that many of the activities <br />planned during the bicentennial years will engender sufficient interest and en- <br />thusiasm so as to become self - perpetuating long after the memories of parades <br />and balls have faded. And more importantly, the committee hopes that towns- <br />people will better understand and appreciate the local, national, and global <br />significance of the legacy and heritage that has been bequeathed to them. <br />Bicentennial Committee <br />Seated L. to R.: Robert Tarlin, Director; Lincoln P. Cole, Jr., Chairman; Stephen Politi, <br />Miriam Butts, Rebecca G. Nussdorfer, Secretary; Standing L. to R.: Richard A. Michelson, <br />Anthony J. Mancini, Rudolph J. Fobert and Roland B. Greeley.
