Update–April 28, 2009

The relative silence on this site is largely a product of work in progress.  The work groups (about 10 of them) continue to refine plans for each major category of events and initiatives the whole committee has identified as being worth pursuing. The body of work is impressive, the level of effort moreso.  I have consolidated the project statements for each work group into a single document, and post it under Committee Documents (“Summary of Proposed Programming for the Sesquicentennial”).  I refer you to that for a summary of each element of the region’s observance.  We have also put together a tentative schedule for the entire Sesquicentennial. This is NOT intended for distribution, but is intended to offer ideas on how individual programs might be grouped to make for identifiable “event” weekends that can serve both the community and visitors. 

Comments and ideas are welcome.
