On
Thursday, January 25th at the kickoff public meeting of the
Town of Vernon’s BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE, the new Bicentennial Logo was
revealed and the winner of the design contest announced by Mayor ELLEN L.
MARMER, MD.
The
winning design, submitted by retired businessman and Rockville resident,
CLIFF EDWARDS, will be on display at the Vernon Senior Center meeting room
and will be utilized throughout the next two years to commemorate
Vernon’s 200th anniversary, which will be celebrated in 2008.
Vernon was incorporated in 1808 and merged with Rockville on July 1, 1965.
At
the meeting, Mayor Marmer also officially introduced the newly appointed
General Chairman, RUDY ROSSMY, who recently retired as Vernon’s Police
Chief, along with other members of the committee. On hand to witness the
announcements was State Representative CLAIRE JANOWSKI along with the
student winners from Rockville Schools
