BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION <br />Many additional townspeople volunteered to serve as coordinator or <br />leader for some specific task or project. Included among these are <br />Anne Coccoluto, administration; Esther Arlan, housing referral; Tiny Yewell, <br />guest housing; Matt Powers, youth activities; and Howard Smith, receptions. <br />Grateful appreciation must be extended to Robert Tarlin, bicentennial <br />coordinator, who resigned in June after serving through Bicentennial I. <br />Bob was active in all logistical, program, and fund raising phases <br />connected with the celebration. He was both competent and congenial and <br />leaves many friends in Lexington. <br />Bicentennial Contributions <br />Publications <br />Guide to the Study of Lexington. Cary Library.
