At the Newton-Needham Chamber’s 100th Annual Achievement Breakfast we asked attendees to suggest items that could go in a time capsule to be opened on the Chamber’s 200th anniversary in 2115. Here are some of the many suggestions:

• Photos of each of our village and town centers
• Pictures of the Route 128 road work
• A cell phone or more specifically, an iPhone
• A selfie stick
• Drone digital footage of the 2015 “Feast of the Falls”
• A newspaper from the 11/5/2015 (day of the 100th Annual Breakfast)
• The #1 movie, song and best-selling books from 2015
• A small piece of Needham’s historic “Blue Tree”
• Apple Watch
• The transformation of the new Atrium Center
• A collection of “memes”
• A business card from Newton’s “Board of Aldermen” soon to be the “Newton City Council”
• A flash drive containing the slide show from the chamber’s annual breakfast – showing photos from events throughout the year
• Video walks through parks and trails in Newton and Needham
• Police officer uniform
• Map of Newton and Needham roads
• Menus from local restaurants
• The chamber’s current business directory
• A credit card – or currency generally
• A traffic cone
• Soil, water and air samples

We will continue to collect your suggestions at our remaining 2015 events or you can share them on our Facebook page.
