While walking at the former Medfield State Hospital site last night and curious about what was going on at the Bellforge Arts Center stage I happened upon the rehearsal of the Gazebo Players for The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Steve Small, and was handed the attached flyer. Performances are on Saturday and Sunday at 5:00 PM. I did observe that Steve had directed his wife Cynthia Small to have purple hair.

Fueling Medfield:
Your Gift Makes Everything Run.
As the holiday season—the true time of giving—begins, we know you’re looking for meaningful ways to support your town.
You may know us best for our upcoming Angel Run 5K, but the Medfield Foundation is so much more than a race! We are a dedicated engine supporting countless local initiatives right here in Medfield.
The Medfield Foundation has raised $5.5 million since its inception to directly impact the lives of Medfield’s residents.
We have helped over 50 local non-profit initiative through our charitable platform, to support their fundraising efforts, such as Hinkley Helpers most recently.
Raise Funds
We support Medfield residents directly, two examples: our Community Assistance Fund, helps local folks in need via emergency assistance, and our Camp Fund, sending local kids to summer camps.
Make an Impact
Through the foundation’s Legacy Fund, a professionally managed endowment, we support community driven projects, through an annual grant program. Nearly $100,000 has been granted to local organizations like Medfield Outreach, Sustainable Medfield, and The Peak House Heritage Center, to name just a few.

Swing Dance to Live Music This Friday October 24, 7pm!
Head to the Dale Street Gym this Friday, October 24th, at 7pm for a night full of music, dancing and fun! The Swing Dance is back after such a successful event last year and you won’t want to miss what’s in store for this year!
Kathy Brophy is our new instructor who will be teaching East Coast Swing dancing! It’s much easier than Lindy Hop to learn and can be danced to just about any genre – country, jazz, R&B, etc… The award winning High School Jazz Ensemble and Soundwaves will serve as our “house band” and will be performing throughout the night.
Reluctant to dance, but still want to attend? There’s plenty of seating for those who just want to enjoy the music and atmosphere!
Yesterday there was a fairy house event run by Kathleen Derian on the banks of Vine Brook at the Montrose School, that made hundreds of young kids really, really excited and happy. There were even pony rides on colorful unicorns!
The fairy house below was created by Kurt Jackson’s MAP kids, and was the largest and most elaborate of the fairy houses.
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.
