On Thursday, August 3, at 5:30 p.m., representatives from City Traffic/Transportation departments will be on hand at the corner of Lowell and Washington Streets in Newtonville to hear neighbors' concerns about that intersection. Some residents have suggested there is a need for a left-only light when heading east on Washington.

Please join this meeting if you are interested, and share this information with friends and neighbors.

Think about taking time this summer to share stories. Do your kids know how their parents met? The story of when they were born? Where their grandparents grew up?

Summertime often means less scheduled days, visits with extended family members, and perhaps a family vacation. This time of longer days opens the door to opportunities to tell stories. And telling these stories just may make a difference in your child’s health and well-being.

There are still a few spots available for youth ages 11-18 in Plugged In's Music That Matters (MTM) summer day camp. This is a unique nonprofit rock band program where young musicians of all levels and needs are welcome.

The Calculus Project is looking for “Special Guests” to talk with 8th and 9th grade students about their work experience and about careers in the math field. The program is flexible and can accommodate visitors any morning in July. Please contact Stephanie Piantedosi or Jennifer Shore to volunteer.
