2. Memorial Day Planning
Jeff Slade motioned to authorize purchasing an 18"-20" wreath of real flowers from Sugarbush florists for the Memorial Day ceremony at a cost not to exceed $100. Lisa Slade seconded the motion and all were in favor. It was agreed that for the Veterans Day ceremony we look into the purchase of a silk flower wreath instead of using real flowers.

Edith Stillson motioned to authorize the purchase of six 11" x 17" posters and six 8 ½" x 11" posters for the advertising of the Memorial Day ceremony from Doolittles. A maximum cost was not specified. Gloria Ballantine seconded the motion and all were in favor.

3. Education Component
Gloria Ballantine gave an update of the education component committee's activities. See attached report.

4. 250th Celebration Planning
The committee will sell popcorn and water at the celebration. Lisa will make arrangements to borrow the popcorn maker from the Windsor Rec Department and will purchase all necessary supplies. The committee will reimburse her expenses after the celebration. We will set up in the Memorial Grove before the start of the parade (the Center Road will be closed to traffic then). Jeff Slade will provide the tables and canopy. Volunteers need to bring their own chairs. The photos of the committee's work and the Roll of Honor will also be set up.

5. Other Business
The committee received a request from the Select Board to provide the Board with an opinion regarding Peter Korbet's request to have the Perkinsville Green re-named as the Weathersfield Veterans Memorial Park. The committee was reluctant to make a decision at that time and agreed to discuss it further at the next meeting.

The next annual Walk-a-thon will be held on June 1, 2011. Lisa will send out fliers and sponsor sheets. There was discussion of inviting the Weathersfield School kids to participate.

At 8:00 PM Gloria Ballantine motioned to adjourn the meeting. Jeff Slade seconded the motion and all were in favor. The next meeting will held on May 24, 2011.
