Longer-form draft.
The Bedford Tricentennial Committee met on April 28, 2026, to begin the foundational work for the town's upcoming anniversary celebrations. With a seven-year timeline ahead, the committee is already making decisions on leadership, branding, and fundraising. During the meeting, Mike Rosenberg was elected as Committee Chair, and the board agreed to officially include 'tricentennial' in the committee's name. The group also discussed long-term logistical needs, including the potential for establishing non-profit status or a gift account to manage fundraising for the anniversary events. One area of discussion involved how the community will participate in the branding process. There was a debate regarding a logo contest; while members initially felt it was too early to launch a contest at Bedford Day, the discussion shifted toward a model where the committee might pre-select finalists before putting them to a vote. As the committee moves forward with outreach—including potential student involvement at Lane School—residents should stay tuned for how these long-term plans will impact town resources and community engagement. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/bedford/school-committee/2026-04-28/ #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA
