Bazinet has been instrutlrtental in soliciting funds for the purchase of Christmas decorations some of which are placed around The Square. She hopes to complete the inside portion of the The Square and a few radial streets with the double -bell decorations next year.

Despite a motion calling for the administative committee of council to place funds in its budget for Christmas decorations each year, parks chairman John Doherty offered the funds from his committee's budget.
