TO: Jean Owens, Supervisor, Town of Enfield
FROM: Sue Thompson, Enfield Commemorative Committee
RE: Operating Budget for 1993 a
Enclosed you will find the form you sent that now includes estimates of
expenditures and revenues for our Committee in 1993. We have requested
$500.00 as in previous years to be added to the continuing amount.
Our Committee was not sure after looking at the total amount carried each year,
that our expenses have been deducted from our budget. I include a copy of the
monies we have spent. There are a few blanks in 1991 1 have noted the date of
the newsletter these expenses cover. The amounts should be close to what the
other newsletters have been. I assume the town's Book Keeper will have the
details. Please call if you have questions.
The Town Historian asked us also to: make sure that a note was given regarding:<
The $600 the Town of Enfield spent on the preservation of the 1800 map, located
in the Town Hall, is not to be deducted from the Commemorative Committee
Budget. This $600 is a separate Town item.
would also like to update you of the committee's work. Our main topic and work
has been on the book, History of the Town of Enfield. The first writing of each
chapter for this book is due to our committee January 1994. Corrections and
publishing in 1995. We have contacted the Heart of the Lakes Publishing company
for estimates on the printing of this book. We were given an estimate of $3,000
plus. This was based on a book of 320 pages with pictures at $10 each. We
have decided to go ahead and gather all the information we can for the book and
add all the pictures we wish and then contact the printer(s) again. This would be a
printing of 500 copies of this book. I have enclosed a copy of the outline of the
chapters of the book.

A group is also working on a Enfield one-two room school house reunion. Dennis
Newhart started the project and hopefully by next year we will be hosting a
reunion, which will gather more information for our Enfield Book.
We have discussed and are slowly looking into a Monument for the Town of
Enfield, possibly two. One would be in tribute to all who served in the military of
our United States. The second would be for the early settlers of our town.
Possible locations for these monuments would be in Enfield Center and at the
Christian Cemetery. They would be simple such as, a rather large rock, with a
bronze plaque.
A town Parade (10-10:30 a.m.) followed by a Family Picnic has also been
'discussed. These events would involve mainly - only Enfield residents. The Family
Picnic would be simple - everyone brings their own meal and perhaps, drinks and
watermelon would be provided by the Committee and through donations. This is
based on the Picnics which were held in the past. Perhaps even a baseball game
could be found!
Nina Linton and her quilting group have been very busy quilting both a quilt to
raffle off, and a quilt wall hanging for display in the town.
We have all enjoyed this committee and as time goes by our group grows.
Meeting the old and new residents of our town has been invigorating and a
learning experience which we will hold on to for the rest of our lives. I invite all
who are interested in their town of Enfield to come to our Committee meetings and
enjoy the comradery of history.
Thank you.
