Longer-form draft.
The Bedford Tricentennial Committee held a planning meeting on May 12, 2026, to begin laying the groundwork for the town's upcoming anniversary celebrations. As this is a seven-year planning process, the decisions made now will shape how the community commemorates this milestone. Key developments from the meeting include the election of Mike Rosenberg as Committee Chair and a decision to officially incorporate 'tricentennial' into the committee's name. The group also discussed the necessity of establishing a digital presence via a new website and Facebook page, as well as the legalities of fundraising and whether to file for non-profit status. One point of discussion involved how to engage the public through a logo contest. While there was disagreement on whether to launch a contest during Bedford Day, the committee is moving toward a compromise: pre-selecting a group of finalists to be presented for a vote. This approach aims to manage the process more strictly than an immediate open call. Looking ahead, the committee is focusing on student involvement, including coordinating with Lane School administrators to involve fifth-grade students in time capsule projects. Residents should stay tuned as the committee begins to map out specific goals and outreach strategies for the years to come. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/bedford/school-committee/2026-05-12/ #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA
