  • January 23rd, 2011 - Fifer's Day Brainstorming session

Too early you say? Well, this meeting is a little different. Before we get into the planning phase, which will start in February, our Lieutenant wants to have a brainstorm meeting to solicit new and different ideas for Fifer’s Day. Once we’ve thrown out some ideas and have had a month to work on them, we can then start the planning process in earnest. So come with your ideas and remember there are no bad ones! Crazy maybe, but not bad. We’ll decide the merits later. If you are interested to attend please email Lieutenant@boxboroughminutemen.org for more details.
