From Chris Gordon, Medfield Energy Committee.
I just wanted to give you our latest flyer that has updated information, including we will have EV BMWs for test drives, and what my kids are most excited about, an ice cream truck.

From Tod Dimmick –
New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10K road race hits the road on May 11th
The Soles of Medfield 10K and the New Life 5K Trail Run are uniting! The New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10k and Kids Fun Run will take place on Saturday, May 11th on the Medfield State Hospital grounds.
Against the backdrop of the iconic Medfield State Hospital, participants of all abilities – from seasoned runners to casual walkers – can enjoy a fun day out on routes that wind through the beautiful Charles River Reservation, the Rail Trail, and surrounding neighborhoods. Not a runner? No worries! Join us to soak in the vibrant atmosphere, enhanced by entertainment from Bellforge Arts Center. Whether you crave the challenge of a 10K race, a friendly 5K, or cheering from the sidelines, this event promises something special for everyone.
Registration is open at https://newlifefb.org/race/. An “early bird” discount of $30 for the New Life 5k Trail Run, and $40 for the Soles of Medfield 10k is available until April 29; after that registration online and race day registration will be $35 for the 5k and $45 for the 10k. On-site Kids Fun Run registration will be $5. On-site registration opens at 7:30 am on race day. Children ages 4-10 are invited to join us for the Kids Fun Run at 9:00 am, with the 5k and 10k starting at 9:30 am. Live music will follow the race. The sooner you register, the more likely it will be that you will receive a t-shirt on race day.
“Last year, New Life served over 700 households, and the demand for our services is greater than ever,” said Rich Purnell, New Life Executive Director. “This event is a fun and effective way to help us empower the individuals and families we serve with the means to furnish their homes.”
“Soles of Medfield is excited to collaborate with New Life to bring the New Life 5k Trail Run and the Soles 10k race together,” said Adam Graber of Soles of Medfield. “This is a community building event with an important purpose. Whether you are a runner, a walker, or just want to join the scene and enjoy some music, come be part of the fun.”
The New Life/ Soles of Medfield 5k/10K benefits New Life Furniture Bank of MA and its mission to provide gently used household furnishings to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. The Medfield-based non-profit organization operates a Walpole Donation Center and serves the MetroWest and Greater Boston area. New Life provides a meaningful option for folks who are downsizing, renovating or disposing of a loved one’s property. In addition, 10% of funds raised support the Medfield Pedestrian, Runner, and Cyclist Safety Fund.

The Medfield Music Association (the MMA) is so excited to bring our 🎶 holiday fundraiser dinner 🎶 — now named “Spaghetti & Snowballs” — back for the first time since 2019!

Spring is here. Delightfully unfolding all around us in Medfield. We have a wonderful place to call home as April turns towards May. And in the spring, I have the pleasure and privilege of inviting you to attend our Annual Town Meeting on Monday evening, May 1, 2023 at 7:00pm. We come together as a legislative body. We conduct the business of the town as citizen legislators. And we do it as friends and neighbors.
Please join us. We discuss, debate, deliberate, and decide. We focus on the important matters described in the town’s 2023 Warrant Report. We have 32 Articles to consider this spring, including budgets and local laws and regulations.
Please join us. The home of the town meeting is the Amos Clark Kingsbury High School gymnasium. Respecting schedules and time demands, we legislate in one-evening (usually). By charter, we gather on the first Monday of May. We come together live and in-person. We speak directly with one another. Every Medfield voter is invited, and every attendee participates as a legislator with a voice and a vote.
Please join us. We continue a heritage of direct, open, democratic, participatory self-government. We hear from our Warrant Committee. Our executive branch of government faces the community. Our collective judgement sets the budget and town objectives for fiscal year 2024. Our collective determinations set the course for Medfield’s future.
Find out what’s happening in Medfield with free, real-time updates from Patch.
Let’s go!
It would be great to see you at the high school on May 1. Be well.
Respectfully,
Scott F. McDermott

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.
