SUMMARY:Braintree World War 1
LOCATION:1110
DESCRIPTION:<p style="overflow: hidden; font: small/1.5 Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; o
 utline: none;">The Braintree Rotary Club is working in conjunction with the
  Town of Braintree on a tree planting project this coming Saturday, October
  13, 2018, at 10AM on French's Common, next to the Braintree Town Hall.&nbs
 p; The trees will honor the men and women of Braintree who served in World 
 War I.Tree planting was a world wide Rotary International project last year
 .&nbsp; it is continuing.&nbsp; I first became a member of the Rotary Club 
 in 1972 and am now an Honorary Member, and Official Club Historian, of the 
 Braintree Rotary Club; as well as Post Historian of Braintree Post 86 of th
 e American LegionThis past summer I heard that the Club was going to plant 
 ten trees as part of the overall Rotary tree planting project.&nbsp; I sugg
 ested that the ten trees be planted in honor of the men from Braintree who 
 lost their lives in World War I.&nbsp; The reaction to this idea was instan
 t and positive.The number of trees has now grown to eighteen.&nbsp;&nbsp;Wh
 at I am suggesting to the Braintree Rotary Club is that the following be do
 ne:1.&nbsp; One tree each to honor the memory of the twelve Braintree men w
 ho died:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbs
