Council seeks volunteers and sets deadlines for veterans day and holiday parade participation
Summary
Councilmembers urged participation in upcoming parades and Founders/Veterans Day events, set internal deadlines for float ideas and veteran lists, and asked staff to publish contact details for organizers.
Councilmembers and staff announced upcoming community events and set deadlines for participation and volunteer signups.
Councilmembers asked residents and staff to submit ideas for the town parade float for the Wellington holiday parade on Dec. 14 and set a goal of providing final ideas to Public Works by the Nov. 18 workshop. One councilmember suggested inexpensive themes; the town will aim for a low‑cost flatbed float.
The council also reminded residents that the town’s Founders and Veterans Day celebration and parade will be held on Saturday, Nov. 8, beginning at the medical center parking lot and ending at the town park. Councilmembers Marge Herzog and others said they are compiling a veterans list (alive/deceased, service branch) and asked residents to text names to staff (contact to be posted); staff was asked to post a notice on the town website with a deadline of Oct. 30 for names to be included in the program.
No council action was required; the meeting concluded with logistical requests and staff follow‑up.
