Dear Local
Organization, Board and Committees and Business,
As you likely
know, the Town is celebrating its 375th Anniversary beginning in May
at Town Meeting with the reading of a Proclamation. If you were around for the
350th or earlier anniversaries, you might recall how much fun and
excitement there was to commemorate those events. We had a number of activities
and by all accounts it was a great success.
And now we want to
make the 375th even bigger and better!
There is a working
committee that is busy planning events and we would love to have you join us
for these events. We have a Parade and Field Day scheduled for Saturday, August
17th (rain date August 18th). The Parade will start off
at 11 a.m. from the Kenberma Playground and go along Nantasket Ave. ending at
the L Street Field for a day of fun for all ages from 12-5 p.m. We would love
for your organization to march in our parade, host an activity at the field
day, or financially sponsor a portion of these activities. Business have the
opportunity to sell their items or host an activity table during the field day.
Other events are
being planned by the Committee that your organization is welcome to participate
in as well. An Anti-Prohibition Tour of local bars & restaurants is being
planned for one evening this summer. A Fall Gala Ball is tentatively scheduled
for September 21st. Many local organizations hold other annual and
special events. We hope you will consider dedicating some of those events to
the 375th Anniversary and are happy to consider co-sponsoring any
event with you/or list them in the calendar of 375th events. We are
co-sponsoring the annual fireworks display held on June 22nd (rain
date June 23rd) with Hull Youth Football. In addition, please,
consider adding the tag line “Celebrating Hull’s 375th“ to help us
get the word out that everyone is celebrating this milestone.
If your
organization would like to participate and learn more about the Parade, Field
Day or other events, please consider attending a meeting at the Memorial Middle
School on Thursday, May 23rd at 7 p.m.If you cannot attend but would
like to participate in the parade please, email Kathiemn@verizon.net or rhodabk@gmail.com . If you are
interested in the Field Day, please email Sheri & Peter Boretti at pboretti@mortgagecorpeast.com or sheribo@comcast.net. Any other
questions can be directed to John Reilly at jdr64@aol.com . Our committee meetings are posted on the
Town’s website and are generally held alternating Tuesdays at 6 p.m., please
feel free to join us at any time.
Here’s to a Hull
of a 375th!!!
