Longer-form draft.

The Bedford Tricentennial Committee met on May 26 to establish a long-term roadmap for the town's upcoming anniversary celebrations. The committee is now looking at a seven-year timetable to manage goals, branding, and community engagement.

Significant organizational decisions were made, including the election of Mike Rosenberg as Committee Chair and the decision to officially include 'tricentennial' in the committee's name. The group is also exploring financial structures, such as filing for non-profit status or establishing gift accounts, to support future fundraising efforts.

A point of interest for residents was the evolving strategy regarding the official logo. While the committee had previously decided it was too early for a contest during Bedford Day, discussions have shifted toward a model where finalists might be pre-selected to facilitate a public vote. 

Student involvement remains a priority. This fall, the committee will begin working with Lane School administrators to involve fifth-grade students in time capsule projects, ensuring the anniversary has a direct connection to Bedford’s youth. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/bedford/school-committee/2026-05-26/ #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA
