Debbie,<br><br>I agree. <br><br>Maybe someone on the city council might have an itch for this one?<br>VFW?<br><br>Matt<br><br>> Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 20:31:49 -0700<br>> From: graylex@yahoo.com<br>> To: jeanlivingston@turbonet.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Friday Fireworks<br>> <br>> Hmmm. Maybe this is an opportunity for vision2020<br>> people to put some action behind all the talk and<br>> figure out a way to fundraise for fireworks for the<br>> 4th? It's a nice community-building activity and<br>> potential common ground for people to meet and greet<br>> and put aside their DIFFERENCES and be a community for<br>> a few hours.<br>> <br>> Didn't the firefighters traditionally spearhead this?<br>> Anyone have contacts with anyone that used to organize<br>> fireworks? If tiny little Elk River can work up the<br>> fundage to have fireworks, why can't Moscow?<br>> debbie gray<br>> <br>> --- jeanlivingston <jeanlivingston@turbonet.com><br>> wrote:<br>> <br>> > <br>> > I am with Matt on this one. I have always been<br>> > disappointed since<br>> > Moscow stopped having a fireworks show or any<br>> > significant kind of<br>> > community celebration on the Fourth of July. We<br>> > ought to have one. <br>> > Reading the Declaration of Independence at<br>> > Freidnship Square is fine,<br>> > but it is not the same as having a community event<br>> > with music and food<br>> > and fellowship, followed by a nice fireworks show.<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > Bruce Livingston<br>> > <br>> > <br>> > -----Original message-----<br>> > From: Matt Decker mattd2107@hotmail.com<br>> > Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 19:09:23 -0700<br>> > To: Tom Hansen thansen@moscow.com,<br>> > nickgier@adelphia.net<br>> > Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Friday Fireworks<br>> > <br>> > > <br>> > > Tom,<br>> > > <br>> > > How do you know his sentiment, when our discussion<br>> > was private?<br>> > > <br>> > > As to your comments.
