Lillian <br /> McArthur was also absent but she had previously sent a resignation letter to David <br /> Williams. <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 2:05 PM. The minutes of the meetings in 2008 were <br />approved. <br /> <br />All is in place for this year. Applications are available in Theatre Pharmacy, Michelson’s <br />Shoes, The Lexington Minuteman office, the Town Clerk’s office and at the Senior <br />Center. The deadline for applications is Friday, April 3 at 4 PM at the Senior Center. <br />Chris Venier has the cane and when the recipient is chosen it will be taken to Bromac to <br />have a plaque put on. <br /> <br />thnd <br />Dot informed us that this year is the 100 anniversary of the Post Cane. It is the 22 <br />year of the Minuteman Cane. The Lexington Historical Society has the original Post <br />Cane and it was thought that we should display it this year at the Depot during the <br />reception. <br /> <br />Last year a new tradition was started. A joint reception was held for the recipients of the <br />and <br />White Tricorn Hat the Minuteman Cane. This year the reception will include the <br />recipient(s) of the Youth Award. All three awards are given out at the morning ceremony <br />on the Green on Patriot’s Day which is Monday, April 20 this year. The reception for all <br />three will be at the Depot on Sunday, April 26 at 2 PM. The Lions Club and the FCOA <br />will co-sponsor the event. <br /> <br />Since Lillian McArthur has resigned, a replacement is needed. Chris Venier and Leo <br />McSweeney will be considered. Also, Rabbi Lerner, the co-chair of the Interfaith <br />Council, may be asked to recommend someone from the council who might be interested <br />in serving. This will be discussed at our next meeting. <br /> <br />Our next meeting is on Tuesday, April 7 at 11 AM in Room 111 <br />. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted by Beverly Kelley, Secretary <br />February 17, 2009 <br />
