Business
1. Chairman Anna Carroll Foulds informed the committee that she would be interviewed by Jessie
Mraz on Channel 3's "Community Exchange" on February 12th.
2. Anna reviewed comments from the first meeting concerning use of the Birch Meadow area for the
celebration. She presented a proposal to the committee for an observance centered on two locations: the
Common and Birch Meadow. Each area would have a unique theme. The centerpiece for the downtown
location would be an oversized replica of a silk hat. At midnight "something" would happen at that site.
Throughout the square, church halls would be used for "themed" stages.
The centerpiece for the Birch Meadow area would be the "world clock", divided into time zones, with a
small stage attached to the front. The events at Birch Meadow would be of a participatory nature. A grand
ball would take place at the field house. High school events would take place at the high school, and a
middle school dance could take place at Coolidge. Children's events, such as puppet shows, story telling,
and face painting could take place at Birch Meadow School. Other events could happen at the YMCA.
Alan Smith suggested that a tentative time line be devised, for discussion purposes, detailing what events
may take place at various times during the 24 hour celebration.
3. Dick Stosez asked for clarification of the Industrial Exposition. General discussion ensued and
direction was provided.
4. Alan Smith presented a plan and tentative budget for the "world clock" and general discussion
ensued.
5. Karen Sawyer has given initial thought to a web page. She will have more information at a later
meeting.
6. Anna reported that one former member of the 350th corporation would like to continue in her role
as treasurer in the re-constituted corporation. Four other people have also volunteered to serve as directors.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:33 PM. to March 4, 1998.
