TOWN CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE
November 21 , 1968
PRESENT Chmn Barnes, Mrs Litchfield, Mr Belcastro, Mr Lord,
Mr Gaughan, and Mrs Hall
VETERANS DAY It was agreed the flag should not be brought to half
mast on Veterans Day, as it was this year, because the day honors both
the living and the dead
Special thanks go to Mr Lord for acting as Chief Marshal
Pro-tem He lined up the parade at the last minute
It is requested that in future parades, the two Town horse
teams be listed separately, I e 4-H Club Horse Team, and the Light
Horse Team
Mr Belcastro will have copies of Col Flinders' address
made up for TCC members
PATRIOTS DAY For the time being, the committee agreed that Patriots
Day should be celebrated on April 19th, a Saturday this year This
could be subject to change however
Mrs Hall and Mrs Litchfield were asked to purchase two
briefcases for TCC members
Mr Barnes will call Joe Rooney, President of the Chamber
of Commerce, to get the Chamber's feelings on celebrating this holiday
on a Saturday
Mrs Litchfield will answer the letter from the Lexington
Girl Scouts asking that children from foreign lands march with them in
the Sunrise Parade The TCC approves the idea
A letter from the Lexington Jaycees tells us there will be
no House Decorating Contest this year, as there has been very little
participation or cooperation from the homes on Massachusetts Avenue
TCC members should be prepared to come up with theme ideas
for our next meeting which will be on Thursday, January 2y 1969, at
8PM in the Selectmen's Office
Mr Neil Cronin feels more recognition should be given the
float winners in the afternoon parade, either with a sign or signs
depicting the winning floats, or with signs being carried in front of
the floats, or' in any other way -- this will be discussed further
