 Door Decorating (Sondra Lucente) • The project is in good shape. • Have contacted Jerry and Eric Michelson who will notify merchants through the business associations about decorating storefronts in Lexington for the Patriots Day celebration. • Registration is all set, suggested themes are decided on:  Honoring the 8 fallen (on the Green)  Then and Now  Hope for the Future  Diversity • Girl Scouts will be assigned to the committee that will be judging storefronts; will use a distinct checklist the subcommittee develops. • Bill Mix confirmed that “Hudson’s History of Lexington” states there was one black male on the Lexington Green during the battle April 19, 1775. • Geetha stated that a form has been developed for the basic information needed from each entrant upon registration on-line. Entrants will take a picture and send it back to confirm the decoration is ready. Then the committee of judges will travel to the door and judge. Scoring criteria has been drafted and will be included on the judging checklist. The on-line registration link is ready, registration starts March 15. • Geetha will send the registration link to TCC members to try it out and provide any feedback. • Prize award process has not been developed yet. Several ideas were discussed, including use of Zoom for an awards event. Sondra and the subcommittee will determine the approach.  Pancake Breakfast (Cerise Jalelian) • Pancake breakfast will be conducted virtually. • The event details will be published on the Scout Troop 160 website; then Cerise will get the link/info to the TCC. • A pancake breakfast basket will be sold for $35. • April 17-18 will be pickup at St Brigid or drop off by Scouts directly to the house.  Publicity (June Baer, Geetha) • An older video (circa 2015) of Patriots Day activities will be used to publicize the 2021 Patriots Day program; also, still picture of historic homes; then each virtual Patriots Day event / activity for 2021 will be described briefly. LexMedia will be putting this promotional video together. The video is planned to be shown on LexMedia link, Facebook and other methods to be determined. • A small subcommittee will meet March 7, 2pm to discuss short-term and long-term publicity for TCC events.  Other business • Week before Patriots Day meeting is Thurs, April 15.
