However, we want <br /> to recognize Gordon's many contributions over the years with his knowledge of Mashpee's <br /> history. Gordon served on the Mashpee Historical Commission in the years 1996-1998, 2000- <br /> 2001, and 2006-2018. <br /> Richard reviewed the research he has done on lists of names of soldiers and sailors of the <br /> Revolutionary War. He and Ava have met with Rita Lopez and Earl Mills of the Mashpee <br /> Wampanoag Tribe to try to verify names of the Wampanoags who fought and died in that war. <br /> He has secured funding in the amount of$32,500 from CPC funds and matching funds from the <br /> State of Massachusetts in the amount of$15,000 for Phase I of the project. <br /> The DPW has been working on the exterior of the Mashpee One Room Schoolhouse. The <br /> window panes/trim, shutters, bulkhead doors, step railing, have all been painted. The back door <br /> has been replaced with a new door. Frank intended to be at the Schoolhouse on Memorial Day, <br /> with his wife Betsy, to have visitors have a quick tour and sign up people and groups who would <br /> like to request a tour on another day. Frank is conducting the 3rd Grade Quashnet School tours. <br /> Brian attended a meeting of the Mashpee District Commission and apprised us that they had to <br /> notify the Dance Studio, located along Route 130 in the Historic District, that their signs had to <br /> be much smaller to meet with Town regulations. <br /> Ava attended the May Town Meeting where the Mashpee Historical Commission's request for <br /> additional funding in the amount of$7,030.00 for expenses in FY2019 was approved. <br /> Richard suggested and Rosemary made a motion that we purchase Patriotic flags and bunting <br /> to decorate the Archives for certain holidays. The motion was seconded by Nancy Soderberg. <br /> Ava suggested that the Commission set up an annual Historic Preservation Award. Richard <br /> made a motion that we set up the Award, and the motion was seconded by Rosemary. A few <br /> names were suggested, but the work will continue and the person to be chosen will be <br /> determined at a later time. <br /> The date of our next meeting was not set. <br /> Ava made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:15pm, and it was seconded by Richard. <br /> _g A.1/ F 7 ;mil.! <br /> Submitted by: Ann Graham, Sr. Clerk <br />
