The Minute Men will present a lecture on the 4/19/1776 evacuation.  Steve Cole asked that the Lexington Minute Men contact responsible for organizing the Minute Men videos be invited to the next TCC meeting so the TCC can be updated on LMM plans.  Florence Del Santo requested that the Door Decorating and Miles & Smiles groups keep Lex Media in the loop if they plan to give pictures of their participants to Lex Media. If pictures are submitted ahead of time, then award winners can be added quickly to the video presentations.  June reported on the following Patriots Day activities planned by other organizations: • The 10th Regiment of Foot is planning a video on the life of a Red Coat at the time of the Revolution. • Hancock Church will offer a 30-minutes video of their hand bell concert. • The Lions Club White Tricorn Hat award will happen virtually as will the Minuteman Cane award. • The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum will offer an online display about the Lexington Alarm Letter.  Jerry Michelson noted that four White Tricorn Hat winners died this year and asked the committee if they should be memorialized somehow. The issue was raised of memorializing the other Lexington residents who died this year due to the pandemic.  June reported that the TCC has a seat on the Town committee planning for the 250th anniversary of Patriots Day and she asked for a volunteer from the committee to attend those meetings. Cerise Jalelian and Mary Hutton volunteered.  June also reported that the Town Monuments and Memorials committee has requested a TCC member to attend the meetings. Linda Dixon reported that the Monuments and Memorials committee is creating a database of all the historical monuments and memorials in Town.

Glen Bassett volunteered to represent TCC on that committee. The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Next meeting: 2/24/21 Respectfully submitted, Suzanne Caton, Secretary
