accepted. (Stuart Highlanders would like different placement in the parade. The request will be discussed.) Aleppo Shiners’ application was not accepted. o Ferko String Mummers’ fee is flexible. Suzie is waiting to hear from them. o Suzie is negotiating Woodland String Band’s fee with them. o If funds are available, three other colonial groups are being considered for o inclusion in the parade. Suzie would like to have more marching military bands in the parade and has o five possibilities to explore. Hallamore’s fee this year is more than the budget can afford. Sondra Lucente o will be asked to make a counteroffer.  Chief Marshal. In keeping with the “We Are Lexington” theme, Jo-Anne Granger th reported from her meeting with the 300 Committee that a suggestion was made to invite a representative from each of the different categories typifying Lexington, i.e. education, culture, farms, founding families, etc. Sam Doran provided a list of founding families’ names whose descendants could be invited to participate. If the committee decides to invite a descendant(s) of a founding family or families to fill this role, then the question was raised how this group will go down the avenue, on foot or by conveyance?  Sponsorship. The sponsorship letter is written; Suzie is waiting for the contact list. Members discussed the existing budget, listed expenses yet to be covered (printing costs, new banners, portable toilets, etc.) and tried to glean how much additional support would result from fund-raising efforts. Linda Dixon suggested whether or not the committee should consider asking certain individuals and possibly the Lexington community to contribute.  Vehicles. Paul Jenkins was not present. Vehicle discussion will be carried over to another meeting.  Paul Revere’s Ride. Suzie is waiting to hear from Mayor Menino’s office regarding Paul Revere’s ride through Lexington. She would like to assure that his arrival does not interfere with the Old Guard’s performance at the green.  Transportation. C & W will provide buses at last year’s prices.  Marching Units. Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Norwich University and US Air Force Band of Liberty will not be part of this year’s parade. (The Band of Liberty will be a permanent loss since the unit was disbanded.)  Awards. The following award winners will be announced on April 10, 2013 at Town Meeting: White Tricon Hat, Youth Commission and Minuteman Cane. We expect that the award winners will participate in the parade.
