What is the plan for Bedford’s upcoming tricentennial? The Tricentennial Committee met on May 13 to establish their foundation and long-term roadmap. Here is what residents need to know about the upcoming seven-year planning process. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA
At the May 13 meeting, the committee elected Mike Rosenberg as Chair and moved to officially incorporate 'tricentennial' into their name. They are currently mapping out a seven-year timetable to ensure the celebration is ready well in advance.
The committee is focusing on student engagement and community outreach. Plans include involving Lane School fifth graders in time capsules and engaging local Scout troops. A logo contest, initially discussed for June, has been moved to the August agenda.
Next steps: The committee will explore fundraising options (including potential non-profit status) and website development. As this becomes a town-wide event, residents should watch for upcoming branding and engagement opportunities. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/bedford/school-committee/2026-05-13/
The Bedford Tricentennial Committee held its meeting on May 13 to begin the foundational work for the town’s upcoming anniversary celebrations. Because this will be a town-wide event involving students and long-term fundraising, it is important for residents to stay informed about the planning process. During the meeting, Mike Rosenberg was elected as the Committee Chair. The committee also reached a decision to officially incorporate the word 'tricentennial' into their formal name to better reflect their mission. To ensure proper preparation, the group is working backward from the celebration year to create a comprehensive seven-year planning timetable. Key areas of focus moving forward include student involvement—specifically coordinating with Lane School administrators to involve fifth graders in time capsule projects—and establishing a fundraising structure, which may include filing for non-profit status. The committee also discussed community outreach through Bedford Day and the development of a dedicated website. While a logo contest was discussed, the committee decided it was premature for a June launch and will revisit the topic during their August meeting. Residents should keep an eye on future agendas as these large-scale commemorative plans take shape. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/bedford/school-committee/2026-05-13/ #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA
