Memorial Tree Planting

 

The memorial tree planting at French's Common, where Patrick Leonard will adjudicate the proceedings. Our Mayor, Joe Sullivan, will also share a few thoughts before we finalize the planting of the trees.   We will need several volunteers to assist in shoveling and planting several trees as well. This will not be a long event.  The significance of this event will be memorializing those soldiers and volunteers from Braintree who had participated in WWI either by giving their lives,  or were from our Rotary Club, or women from Braintree who have served as well.  There were eighteen individuals who served between each of these three designations, and eighteen trees will be planted in their memory.   A special thank you goes out to Pat Leonard for ALL of his creative efforts for this, and many other events he initiates!
