62 <br /> i <br /> A1 We also wish to have a large rustic sign designed, (sim- <br /> ilar to National Park signs) enough constructed and erected <br /> at all entrances to the town. Such signs will be outstanding <br /> and unique to Mashpee. We hope to have these signs in- <br /> stalled prior to the Centennial celebration and to stand as <br /> long as they may last. <br /> A pictorial edition is now being prepared, and will be <br /> sold indefinitely at the Old Indian Church, (to benefit from <br /> proceeds on that location) and at the various points in the <br /> historic district, to further supply funds for more historic <br /> fdevelopment. <br /> Plans have been made to give all townspeople that are <br /> k interested, instructions in various forms of arts and crafts. <br /> A program is underway to instruct the children in making <br /> F items of interest for the centennial, such as: pottery, Indian <br /> necklaces, shingle painting, shell designs, and the art of <br /> j candle making. These arts and crafts.are to be exhibited and <br /> some may be sold for funds pertinent to our historic needs. <br /> We wish to encourage the people of Mashpee to make <br /> plans to dress in a costume of their choice during the cen- <br /> tennial celebration. Costumes of any period from the contact <br /> period (Landing of Pilgrims) to the flapper period are recom- <br /> mended. Groups may wish to gather together in sewing <br /> circles to make the costume of their choice. <br /> We hope that the Old Indian Church Authority will make <br /> this a joint effort, as we wish to assist them in preparing <br /> for this celebration as well as the rededication of the restored <br /> d Old Indian Church. <br /> The time has finally arrived to proceed with organization <br /> of the essential committees to carry thru plans that have <br /> been laid out for the centennial. We have asked for volun- <br /> teers to sign up for the committee. of your choice, and all <br /> work together for a successful celebration. ] <br /> At this point, our progress is at a standstill as far as <br /> park developments are concerned due to winter weather, but <br /> we hope to return to work just as soon as weather permits; <br /> so that a large percentage of the work will be complete be- <br /> fore winter 1969. With the full cooperation of all the people <br /> of this town, there is no question that this will be of lasting <br /> affect on all of us. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> AMELIA G.
