Looks to be a lean year for Medfield’s state aid, as the Senate Ways & Means Committee added less than $40K to the House budget numbers for Medfield, which were already only small increases. All the state $ must be going for the $25m. parking garage in the Speaker’s district:

From Hilli Passas –
On Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, Troop 10 honored their newest Eagle Scout, Noah Hutchinson, at an Eagle Court of honor at the UCC, Medfield. Noah’s scouting career started in Pack 8888 in Suzhou, China, then on to Pack 22 in Natick followed by Pack 113 Medfield. In Troop 10 Medfield, he found a place to grow, thrive, make life long friends and learn vital life skills such as Wilderness First Aid for his highlight trip canoeing 50 miles in the wilderness at Maine High Adventure. For Noah’s Eagle project he planned the Native Pollinator Garden at the Medfield Rail Trail on the corner of Harding and West Mill streets, procured a variety of native plants, planted and cared for the garden. The pollinator garden not only serves local wildlife, but adds to the delight of visitors and, as a demonstration garden, provides education on native plants.
Noah is an accomplished Senior at Medfield HS; singing in Soundwaves HS A Cappella choir; playing rugby for Wrentham Barbarians; is a black belt in karate and serving as a student teacher at Villari’s in Natick. He is a lifeguard at Kingsbury Club. This summer, he will train as an EMT. In the fall he is heading to Quinnipiac University to study Biomedical Science and play club rugby.
Medfield is lucky and grateful to have many active Scouts who carry out service projects and help make our town a great place to live.

The Center is busy getting ready for its yard sale today, so I have postponed my office hours to next Friday, May 9 from 9-10 AM.
Sarah had planned ahead and cleared this with me ahead of time, but I mistakenly never made the change on my calendar. Sorry for the late notice.

From Kathleen Derian –
Hello Fairy Friends,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the fourth annual Fairy Walk. Despite the 3 times we had to postpone and the surprisingly windy weather the day of, we had a lovely day. A little over 500 people came to enjoy your houses, food and wares and the unicorn rides were a BIG hit!
I am so grateful for the incredible creativity, hard work and community spirit that made this event truly magical. A special thank you goes out to all the talented house creators whose enchanting fairy homes brought the trail to life and sparked wonder in every visitor. I am also deeply appreciative to the wonderful vendors, whose unique offerings and cheerful presence added joy and charm to the day.
All your fairy houses were incredibly well crafted and creatively designed. It made it difficult for the judges to make their choices.
Their results are listed below…
Most Creative Hattie Atkinson
Most Whimsical Livi Gazmani
Most Natural New -n- Towne
The Fan Favorites were…
First Place MAP Grades 4-5
Second Place British Miser and the Senior Ladies of Medfield
Third Place Charlotte and Abigail Smith
Honorable Mention Grace Finn
Most importantly, I want to extend heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, MEMO (Medfield Employers and Merchants Organization), Park and Rec department, especially Katie Walpert, and Amanda Russo from Montrose School. Your support made this event possible and helped bring the magic of the Fairy Walk to the whole community.
Now,as Spring blossoms and the flowers bloom, it is time for rest and relaxation
My heart is full…..

Best-
Kathleen

MCSP’s Path for Hope Walk this Sunday, May 4th
11:30 AM at the Medfield Rail Trail
Hosted by the Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention
This Mental Health Awareness Month of May, come walk with us as we build community, raise awareness, and honor those impacted by suicide. Path for Hope is more than just a walk; it’s a walk to foster community, connection and hope. It’s a show of support, a step toward healing, and a reminder that no one should walk alone in their struggles.
Sponsored by MCSP, a community-led coalition administered by Medfield Outreach, the Town of Medfield’s social service department. The mission of MCSP is to promote the mental health and emotional well-being of all community members. The vision of MCSP is to build a community where suicide, self-harm, and stigma have been replaced by hope, self-care, and acceptance.
This free, family-friendly event is open to all. Donations are welcome to support the vital work of MCSP: www.medfieldfoundation.org/make-a-donation

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.
