Florence will pass on any information to Marilyn and Rick Beyer, who will announce the parade. * The TCC will meet next on Friday, April 17th at 3:00 at 201 Bedford St. * Lorain and Rich met with Joe Pato re: the Bhatki group in the parade.Since there are no written guidelines, no group can be restricted according to the 1st amendment. Maybe a policy regarding guidelines would be helpful down the road. Tanya suggested that if we were sending out an e-mail to all of the entries in the parade, it might be helpful to reinforce the restriction of not passing anything out to the crowds along the way. This includes passing out any food. * Lorain told the group that Mahoney's had sent in an application. The group voted to approve their entry into the parade, though late, because they have been in the previous parades and they do not charge a fee. * Sondra asked for the names of the floats to be judged. * Charlie went over the jacket orders. Everyone should wear their tricorn hat. *Saturday the Old Guard arrives at approximately 11:30. Lorain and rick will be on the Green at 11:00. Lex Media will cover the Old Guard performance. * The group decided to meet on Sunday at the East Lexington Fire Station at 4:00 to place the stakes. About 6 people were needed. *Rick will meet Wayne & Bob at St. Brigid's on Monday at 3:30 a.m. Everyone else should be at the Green about 5:00a.m. Wrist band people should be there at 4:45 a.m.. * After the re-enactment everyone should assemble at the entrance to the Munroe Cemetery by 7:00a.m. The parade will leave after the Minutemen begin the procession at 7:30.

Tickets for the a.m. reviewing stand should be 25 and 40 for the afternoon. 75 seats will be needed for the bleachers in the afternoon. * Lorain and Rich listened to some suggestions for parade roster changes. There seemed to be too many bands near or next to each other. * The TCC members put all of the stake numbers into plastic sleeves in chronological order. * Paul passed out the 2 way radios and explained how to use them. Each person in a golf cart will have a radio. There will be 10 carts and 12 radios.
