Pembroke's Year-Long 300th Birthday Party Ended Saturday Night

The Pembroke 300^th Committee held a congratulatory closing event December 15^th at the Pembroke, Massachusetts County club thanking themselves and others for contributing to the planning and execution of events commemorating the 300^th anniversary of the Town's incorporation in 1712.  Pembroke Community Media Center had multiple camera persons present to assure complete coverage.

 

Senate President Therese Murray presented the Committee with an award signed by herself twice, once in the capacity of senator representing Pembroke, and once as Senate President.  She thanked all for  the resultant fun their hard work provided.

Montillios Bakery provided a wonderfully large, tasty, and artistic cake that night, just as they did a year ago for the opening event at the same location.

Library Director and photographer Deborah Wall gifted one of her own spectacular works, identical to that hanging in her office, to the 300^th committee chairman who had been admiring and coveting it over the course of this 2012 year. 

Kyle Harney presented what he called a “One Of,” standing for a “one-of-a kind,” uniquely special encapsulation book filled with 300^th Anniversary information, photos, etc. that he meticulously compiled over the past 12 months and longer.

 

Rick Madden is featured for his perseverance and dedication in his quest to plant trees as replacements for those lost in town over the past 300 years.  Taller trees cut down and used as ship masts have yet to grow to those previous heights, and Rick is out to right that wrong.

 

Many more awards were given and received.

Ending the evening's riot of accolades are 17 slides transferred from laptop to projection screen listing people and businesses who gave money to the 300^th Committee, with Committee Chairman Bill Boulter's profile on the left.
