Acushnet: Beautification Committee Oct. 6, 2026

The Acushnet Beautification Committee met on October 6, with Daphne calling the meeting to order at 6:22 PM. The committee approved the minutes from the September meeting and reviewed the treasurer's report, noting that no funds had been drawn from purchases yet, leaving balances of $5,000 in one account and $2,000 in another. The members briefly addressed autumn decorations, noting a lobby display had been moved indoors due to a storm, and confirmed that tubs for Christmas lights and fall items had been dropped off.

The committee then discussed a proposed veteran banner initiative, reviewing options to produce two to four banners through Pro Banner Designs located at 77 Forest Street. Members agreed to visit the showroom on Friday at 9:00 AM to inspect samples and discuss design details, including formatting for veterans killed in action (such as the Blain brothers from World War I) and procedures when photos are unavailable. They also coordinated purchasing 10 sets of commercial Christmas lights, priced at $40 for 100 feet, and agreed to buy more later if needed.

Members scheduled a decorating work session for Thursday, November 5, at 10:00 AM to hang Christmas lights and prepare the whiskey barrel planters with cut greenery. Finally, the committee scheduled its next regular meeting for December 8 at 6:30 PM and adjourned the meeting at 6:38 PM.
