Letter to the town from long term and extremely high quality moderator, Scott McDermott, sharing with residents his decision to not seek re-election. Thank you Scott McDermott for all that you have done for the Town of Medfield!

The Medfield Foundation Angel Run raises money for Medfield residents in need that have nowhere else to turn for emergency funds – and all signs indicate that this will be a particularly hard winter with rising prices and less funding.  We would love for you to join us in raising funds for people in need who are literally in our backyards…

The Angel Run 5K is a festive event for families, friends, teams, clubs and more. Run, walk or stroll through its decorated course filled with musicians, refreshments and inspiration. This year’s Angel Run will be on Sunday, December 3rd at 12:30pm at the Medfield High School. 

Those registering by Sunday, November 5th, will receive a free Angel Run shirt! Standard online registration closes November 19th (without a shirt), but in-person registration will be available on the day of the event.

Register Here!!

Donate more to help your fellow Medfield residents who are in need.

Please share this letter with your team, friends, neighbors and customers. 

For more information, go to Angel Run | Medfield Foundation to register and learn more.  (And remember, if you want an Angel Run shirt, please register by November 5th!)

Let’s make this the best Angel Run ever. Thank you for your help, and we hope to see you there!

I highly recommend to families with young children to make this year the start of their annual visit to the UCC Pumpkin Patch. There is lots for young kids to explore and do, plus great family photo ops. Start your family’s Halloween pumpkin picking tradition.

My family’s pumpkin this year from the UCC Pumpkin Patch. I wonder if it will fall off on the way home.

Hello everyone-

At the MSBA board meeting this morning the Board unanimously voted in favor of the staff recommendation to increase the reimbursement for our project. We should be seeing about 19 million dollars in additional reimbursement.  

This is great news for us. We will continue to work toward identifying additional funding sources for this project. 

Be well-

Karen
