• June noted that 8 classic cars will be included in the parade. • Glen suggested that instructions need to be sent to the parade participants about where to gather before the parade (Community Center), when to be in place (by 12:30), when the parade will start (I pm), and to clarify social distancing requirements. • Sue Stering mentioned that a motorcycle group of veterans want to participate in the parade. Bill Mix recommended that the committee check with the Lexington Police on permitting the group to participate. • Possible routes for the parade were discussed and a route starting at the Community Center,proceeding down Mass Ave, going around the Green, and ending at St. Brigid's church was approved by the committee. June noted that the Lexington Police approved that route. • Steve Cole offered to include a float created for the Minutemen in the parade. If music is included in the parade, it can be broadcast from a sound system in the truck pulling the float. The committee approved the idea of including the float and details will be determined later. • The parade working group has suggested that the TCC provide flags to be attached to the veterans' cars and the committee approved. • Other suggestions for decorating the veterans' cars were discussed, including crepe paper, printed posters, and markers to write messages on the cars. The committee thought that markers were a good idea, as long as enough TCC members were available at the Community Center gathering place to help decorate the cars. Cerise will investigate if the Boy Scouts might be able to help clean off the markers at the end of the parade. • Cerise volunteered to ask the William Diamond Jr. Fife & Drum Corps if they would be available to play on the Green as the parade passes by. • June and Ashley noted that we need to generate a lot of publicity about the parade to make sure enough Town residents come out to watch the parade. • Linda Dixon volunteered to contact the School Department to ask them to let students and parents know about the parade. • Wei Ding will let CAAL members know about the parade. • Ashley asked Sue Stering to provide pictures of the classic cars to be included in publicity. November 2 Program with Cary Library • June reported that the November program with Cary Library will consist of interviews with 3 veterans by Ashley Rooney. • Ashley asked the committee to give her questions to ask the veterans. The meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m. Next meetings: 10/14, 10/21, 10/28 Respectfully submitted, Suzanne Caton, Secretary
