My regular monthly selectman office hours are at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM (this Friday).
Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters. Residents can also have coffee and see the Council on Aging in action (a vibrant organization with lots going on).
I can be reached via my cell phone at 508-359-9190 or my blog about Medfield matters, where any schedule changes will be posted.

Flip the Switch Event To Celebrate New Solar Canopy At Memorial School
The Town of Medfield will hold a “Flip the Switch” celebration on Monday, May 11, at 10 a.m. in the north parking lot of Memorial School to mark the official launch of the new solar canopy installation.
Medfield School Superintendent Jeff Marsden, Director of Finance and Operations Michael LaFrancesca and Memorial Principal Missy Bilsborough will be attending the event and brief remarks will be made from several speakers. Other Town Administration officials and members of the Select Board have also been invited. Memorial School students will also participate in the ceremony. Members of the Medfield community are also invited to attend as the Town celebrates a major step toward clean, cost-saving renewable energy.
The Medfield Memorial Elementary School solar canopy system has a capacity of 374.4 kW DC.
The project was completed in partnership with Solect Energy, a nonresidential solar and energy storage developer and integrator serving the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Hopkinton, the company provides services including design, development, installation, financing, and ongoing operations and maintenance.

Congressman Jake Auchincloss asked me to catch him up on things Medfield today at Blue Moon, and when I told him about the the world famous clocks MADE IN MEDFIELD at the Electric Time Company, Inc., he said lets go see them. Ten minutes later Tom and Brandie Erb had their Congressman drop in, and graciously gave him the cook’s tour.
Here we all are at Electric Time in its valley of the incipient post clocks.
The Congressman learned both what a preeminent world business Electric Time Company, Inc. is and what a headache of extra work Congress caused Electric Time Company, Inc. when Congress once changed daylight savings time – and tens of thousands of Electric Time Company, Inc.’s clocks needed to be adjusted by their owners.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
