 Possibly reach out to/send flyer to Youth groups (Scouts, Girl Scouts, William Diamond F&D)  June solicited help, to meet in the next few days, to arrange for Stakeholder contacts.  Linda Dixon has not heard yet from LexMedia.  June wants to be sure Stakeholders know we won’t be filming events, that groups will provide virtual content and TCC will coordinate a schedule.  June is still looking into a youth parade  A virtual Parade is under consideration, consisting of pictures from past parades to assemble as on-line virtual content. Including reaching out to marching bands, etc, who participated in the past.  Need to think outside the box  Linda Dixon suggested creating a “scrap book” for virtual on-line viewing. A fun collection of 50 years of Patriots Day celebration. Just reaching out to the community for content would help build enthusiasm and excitement for Patriots Day program.  Jill Hai stated that TCC is expected by Select Board to make decisions, collect the virtual content and organize Patriots Day – not to produce actual content.  Geetha suggested telling virtual contributors to post their own content and not send us individual video content. June agreed that we don’t want to have to edit down individual content, but possibly to just collect links and send out links so TCC becomes more of a coordinator. Jill Hai agreed, that TCC does not want to become the producer for the whole virtual Patriots Day, but only the coordinator.  Sean Dugan can help advertise.  June showed a copy of the program of events for the April 2018 Patriots Day (attached). Discussion of which events from 2018 might apply to Stakeholders for 2021 virtual events. Bill Mix stated that DAR normally lays a wreath after the Road Race.  Steve Cole asked what we could film on location for the virtual program? Jill Hai advised that we need to coordinate this with Steve, Doug Lucente and her to determine what could be done. June met with LMM who said they’d like to use spaces in the National Park that could be used in lieu of the actual places which might be more public and cause more concern about a group doing some filming.  June suggested we might get the Women’s Club to provide color commentary on pictures/video of past parades/ceremonies as the Virtual Parade idea.  June suggested working with Cary Library to do a couple of programs, such as Women in the Revolution, African Americans in the Revolution, LMM in Kit interviewed as their specific MM character to bring the knowledge of real people to the virtual program.  Sandy Podgorski discussed the 2019 Patriots Day program, other participants were Old Guard, Gina Johnson with her Wall of Remembrance (Operation Home Ties), Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library for their primary source document. June said we could invite these other participants to contribute content.  June asked if we should invite content from Concord, Bedford and other communities. Decision to not expand the content outside of Lexington, but possibly to connect with them.  Jill Hai suggested we could use spaces in the new Visitors Center to do interviews or films since it has very interesting backdrops, e.g., Lions Club for USS Lexington, etc.  Jill Hai said Select Board is hoping TCC can pull community together so they know something is happening, and to guide them to it. No expectation for TCC to create
