Lorain Marquis asked the TCC members to start thinking about possible parade marshals for the Memorial Day parade. Kim Coburn: Reported that plans with the LHS Marching Band are well under way for Patriots’ Day. Patriots Day, Monday, April 18, 2016 2015 White Tricorn Hat and Minuteman Cane Winners: Paul Jenkins asked whether the 2015 winners should be included in this year’s parade since last year’s afternoon parade was cancelled. During discussion by the TCC, Lorain offered to look into the issue. Peter Kelley’s car usually carries the White Tricorn winner; John Carroll’s car usually carries the Minuteman Cane winner. Carol Flynn asked if the signs on the cars will be large enough to hold the names of both the 2015 and 2016 winners. Karen Gaughan volunteered to call Marie Hill about including the 2015 Minuteman Cane winner. Rich McDonough volunteered to talk to Dick Michelson about including the 2015 White Tricorn winner. Youth Award Recipients: Paul Jenkins will ask Peter Kelley for another car to carry the Youth Award Recipients in the afternoon parade. Seating: Lorain talked with the DPW to find out the exact numbers of seats that will be available. For the morning re-enactment, there will be two sets of bleachers with 75 seats each, and a reviewing stand that holds 30 people standing (no seats). For the afternoon parade, the reviewing stand will be available (30 people standing), and one set of bleachers (75 seats). Florence DelSanto of LexMedia has asked for a parade roster. The committee suggested that she be invited to attend the 4/13 TCC meeting, since the roster will not be ready until then. Diana Bishop was asked to send a VIP invitation to General Rice of the National Guard for the re-enactment and afternoon parade. General Rice should RSVP with the number of tickets he will need for his party. Ticket Issues: Special requests for tickets will be handled by Lorain as they come in, on a case- by-case basis. VIPs were asked to return an RSVP form to indicate how many tickets they need for each event. When the RSVPs are returned, TCC will arrange for tickets to be available for them. Tickets for Town-related VIPs will be held at the Town Hall for pick-up. Tickets for all other VIPs will be mailed to them. The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Suzanne Caton, Co-Secretary Future Meetings April 6; April 13; April 27; May 11; May 25; June 8; June 22.
