The Town of Marlborough Commission on Aging on May 12 discussed detailed plans and estimated costs for the Marlborough Senior Center's 25th anniversary celebration.
Commissioners reviewed vendor estimates: a photo booth was listed at $500, caricature artist services at $390, a portable toilet at $300 and yard signs at $100. A tent sufficiently large to cover about 40 by 60 feet was quoted at approximately $2,000. Members noted transportation would be needed to shuttle attendees from the school to the senior center.
The draft event schedule discussed in the meeting minutes lists introductions and presentations from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m., a DJ from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., and a band from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Named or proposed speakers included Kevin Haggarty, Commissioner Deb Bourbeau and possibly Pam Sawyer (the minutes indicate uncertainty about Sawyer's participation). Commissioners also discussed options for signage and mailings to promote the event.
No formal vote on event spending was recorded in the minutes; logistical planning and estimated vendor costs were noted for subsequent budgeting and coordination.
