Planning

In the early spring of 2021, several focus groups were formed to assume the enormous tasks needed to produce a year-long commemoration. In addition to the coordinators, each group has a bank of volunteers whose efforts are integral to the success of this celebration. All are to be applauded and appreciated. The focus groups are:

• Community Engagement
  • Fundraising, Marketing and Sales: Joan and Steve Stoia – Coordinators
• Programming
  • Parade and Fireworks -: Stacy Bond – Coordinator
  • Historical: Mary King – Coordinator
  • Entertainment: Bruce Kahn – Coordinator
  • Kids Programming: Pat Shearer - Coordinator

All of the committees of the 350th Anniversary have been meeting regularly for more than a year to design interesting and fun activities, programs and events for the 2023 year.

This photo is of a recent meeting of the Kids Programming Group. Lots of fun and interesting activities and programs are in the works for kids and families! Check the Schedule tab on this website for the current planned schedule.
