The meeting commenced at 9:15 AM.
Discussion commenced with regard to fund raising for the project at the
intersection of Weaver Street and Murray Avenue. Councilwoman O'Flinn
explained that after a promised Town donation, approximately $2,936.00
would be required to fund the project. Since $200.00 has already been
gifted and an additional $650.00 has been pledged, the Committee must
raise $2,086.00.
Ideas for a fund-raising approach were suggested including the
following: enclose a photograph of the present site with the letter,
asking for specific dollar amounts ($10.00, $25.00, $50.00) and explain
what type and how many plants they will pay for; include all the names
of the Committee members; explain the projects that the Committee has
already done and mention the County award; donors who give $100.00 and
up will have their name mentioned on a plaque; give publicity to this
project in the Town Newsletter, "On the Town", as well as local
newspapers and neighborhood association newsletters. Kathy O'Flinn
will investigate the number of addresses within the unincorporated
area, the cost of postage and the possible format for a mailing. She
will draft a letter for discussion at the next meeting.
Spring plantings were discussed for the two islands on Murray Avenue
and the other island on Forest Avenue. It was finally agreed that
white begonias framed by a border of red begonias should be planted at
each end of the islands. The red begonias have a dark burgundy leaf
with a red flower (almost coral) and the white begonias have a light
green leaf.

The Committee was also asked to give some thought to possible
suggestions for trees which are to be planted along the Boston Post
Road from Weaver Street to Rock Ridge Road in conjunction with a
sidewalk and curb replacement program.
The Committee was also advised of the Town's Tree City application
which if applied for this Spring would make the Town eligible for a
Tree City Award next Spring.
