Select Board approves Lions Club 'boot drive' permit for June fundraising
Summary
The Select Board granted the Hubbardston Lions Club permission to hold a roadside 'boot drive' along Main Street on June 14 (rain date June 28) after the organizer confirmed police sign-off, insurance and a safety plan; one board member recused themself from the vote.
Kellyanne Ichaboni, representing the Lions Club, asked the Select Board for permission to host a fundraising "boot drive" along Main Street on Sunday, June 14, with a rain date of June 28. She said Chief Pucher reviewed and signed off on the safety plan and the club submitted insurance documentation to the town.
A board member said they would recuse themself from the vote because of membership in a local mining club. After brief questions about shift coverage and volunteer numbers — Ichaboni said about 20 volunteers would work two-hour shifts — a motion to approve the Lions’ safety-permit application was made, seconded and carried.
The organizer said the drive had worked well the previous year and that volunteers would hand out a small flyer explaining how donated funds would be used. The board recorded no additional conditions beyond the safety plan and required insurance; the chair closed the agenda item by saying the club was "all set."
