From skiing on 2/26/22, at the spot where the Medfield Rail Trail crosses the Pine Tree Curtain into Dover, looking both directions. New to me equipment so much better than the old gear.
Medfield Rail Trail in Medfield –
Bay Colony Rail Trail in Dover –
BTW, surprised to learn that it is uphill most of the way to Dover.

Medfield Foundation’s Legacy Fund announces grants to local non-profit organizations and a new $100,000 matching gift challenge opportunity through December 31, 2021
The Medfield Foundation’s Legacy Fund, an endowment fund created by the Medfield Foundation (MFi), has awarded grants to four local non-profit organizations, enabling them to fund important initiatives to benefit the Medfield community.
The new grants were awarded after the foundation received eleven proposals submitted requesting a total of $62,000. Six groups were invited to participate in a live “Pitch It!” event, and ultimately four were awarded a total of $28,200 in grants. The grant recipients include Medfield Outreach, the Peak House Heritage Center, Sustainable Medfield, and the Friends of the Medfield High School Theatre Society.https://ac1f38d33f43afec0b39381bbd3e3b71.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html
“The Medfield Foundation is committed to positively impacting the lives of all the town’s residents,” said Kirsten Poler, Medfield Foundation president. “We listened to the needs of the community as presented to us, and we are so pleased we’re able to make these grants. We look forward to growing our grants program through the Matching Gift Challenge so that we can meet more of our community needs in the future.”
“The committee was impressed with the thoughtful approaches that our four recipients displayed throughout the process,” said Legacy Fund Co-Chair Chris Cahill. “We envision these organizations continuing to foster initiatives that help to ensure Medfield remains a town of unique character and value to all residents.”
Let’s go!
This is the second round of grants distributed from the MFi Legacy Fund for a total of $48,200 granted to date. Past MFi Legacy Fund recipients include Friends of the Medfield Rail Trail, Medfield Cares About Prevention (MCAP), and the Cultural Alliance of Medfield (CAM).

Over 1300 participated in the Angel Run, the annual family friendly holiday fun run, that is a Medfield Foundation initiative held on the first Sunday in December. Proceeds raised assist Medfield families in need, and all participants are guaranteed an enjoyable, festive time. These were the refreshments before the arrival of the runners.
Large crowds attended the annual Holiday Stroll sponsored by the Cultural Alliance of Medfield on Friday night. Ron Gustavson was again in charge of the ice sculpture for CAM, and reported that the ice sculpture this year was finished in record time.

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.
