It was great attending the Valentine luncheon over at the Pleasant Street Center and seeing over 60 seniors enjoying lunch from Di Cara's Deli Reading MA. This lunch, as with many others, was made possible by the ARPA grants the full board approved last year. I also got to hear valuable feedback regarding the 3…
As I sit down and reflect on the events from last night, one thing keeps coming to my mind and that's class. Jackie McCarthy was and still is a class act. She handled herself with dignity and grace, not only during meetings but outside of that room. She was fair and balanced, which is what…
