The minutes of March 30, 2016 were approved. Former member Dick Crogan attended as a guest; he plans to rejoin the committee. Brief Committee Assignment Reports Diana Bishop: VIP responses very slow. Working with Cerise on tickets. Will start calling tomorrow. Bill Mix: The Minutemen extend an invitation to the Consul General of Britain to the Reenactment. As a new tradition, they also invite the French Consul. No tickets are issued; the guests are just escorted to the reviewing stand. Rich McDonough: we’ve received a late inquiry from the Concord Militia. If they send in their application immediately (they are not charging a fee), we will honor it. Bob Tracey: Received verbal commitment from Stop and Shop that they will supply free water for parade; will obtain confirmation. Carol Flynn: Girl Scouts will have a float in the afternoon parade. Have a flatbed; will work on it Sunday. Sandy Podgorski: Kathy Santos, town Webmaster, is still working on the parking map. She needs to talk with the Chief of Police before finalizing it. Karen Gaughan: Marie Hill will ask last year’s Minuteman Cane winner if he wants to ride in this year's parade. Rich will ask Dick Michelson for the protocol on whether last year’s winners of both the Tricorn and the Minuteman Cane awards could share a single car. The Lions Club provides two cars for this year’s current winners; we would have to provide any additional cars. Sondra Lucente: Needs roster for Susan O'Keefe, the parade narrator. Melanie Lin: has been recruiting in CAAL, has had success. Now working on managing diversity.
