PRESENT Chairman Barnes, Mrs. Litchfield, Mr Sperduto,
Mr Healy, Mrs. Hall
The committee signed a get well card for Mr. Gaughan, the
Vice Chairman of this committee
We have secured Thursday evenings from September 17th to
november 12th and December 3rd for our weekly meetings in the
Selectmens' office.
Mr. Sperduto announced that he had invited Mr Maxner to attend
one of our meetings to discuss the storing of the Spirit of '76
costumes, so that he, as would we, be aware of this storing
place It is felt the costumes should be marked as property
of TCC and stored in a Town building.
Mr. Maxner has been reimbursed the $5.00 for his wig payment.
He was sent a check the first of the summer.
General Terhune has received the pewter mugs, properly inscribed,
given him at the June luncheon. There was not enough time for
the inscriptions prior to the luncheon.
Mrs. Litchfield has written principal Johnson at the Harrington
School about the tree-planting there on October 23rd for United
Nations Day. The actual holiday is October 24th, a Saturday,
(not a school day).
Mr. Mead, President of the Jaycees, has okayed the purchase of
said tree out of the Jaycees treasury.
Mr. Lawrence Stone will be the bugler for the United Nations Day
ceremony on the Green on Saturday morning, October 24th at 9:00.
Father Murphy has been written to officiate for the clergy at
this ceremony. We await his answer; letters have also gone out
to the renewing groups for their participation (probably with
color guards) - Marine Corps League, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Minute Men, and the American Legion. We await their answers.
Mr Healy will contact the Park Department concerning the selection
of the tree to be planted at the Harrington School.
NOVEMBER 11th - VETERANS DAY
