Lemonade for good cause

This from Cathleen Farrell of Beginning Years –


Beginning Years 22nd Annual Lemonade Stand will run Aug 3-7 from 10:30-11:30 on the corner of frairy and north.

Every year the staff and children choose a cause to donate too. This year all proceeds go to support our Higgins Heroes Jimmy Fund team. This team was started last year for a little Medfield boy at our school who had brain cancer. He is doing great. But we want to honor this little boy and his family by continuing to raise money for such a great organization. It’s still a big part of his life. We want to be part of finding a cure.

Thank you so much in advance:))

Best,

Cathleen

Brother’s Market Anniversary

Here is the photo that did not seem to go through before.

ZOOS GREEK ICED TEA

Medfield’s own new business is Zoos Greek Iced Tea, and shown in the middle is Niari Keverian, a 2002 graduate of MHS, with a Babson MBA, who is the entrepreneur behind the tasty iced teas. Niari is flanked by her Mom and her sister. They were doing product promotion at the Brother’s Market anniversary celebration, as a locally produced item, and their ice teas are available there.

I sampled their regular, the lemon, and the peach. Their secret is that the teas are brewed from full sized Greek tea leaves Niari imports. Niari started out with Welch’s.

Green Street status

A Green Street resident asked me this morning about the projected timing of the work and we got this response from Mike –


Gentlemen:  I am wondering if you can give me an update on the schedule for the work on Green Street. Over the past several week, some work was done to prepare for sidewalks to be placed between Brook Street and Hinkley Pond – but in the past week, no work at all has taken place.

Any information you can provide would be welcome!


Ken is on vacation today and Monday, so I’ll tell you what I know about Green Street. I spoke to Ken yesterday and he too is concerned with getting Green Street done as quickly as possible. It is his number one highway priority. I do know they were having troubles getting some of the castings delivered, but they should be here by now. The water lines have already been replaced so most of the work would will be at the surface level. Once they get going, it should move quickly. I’m copying Ken and Bobby Kennedy on this so they can update you when they have a chance, as they know a lot more about this than I do. Have a good weekend. Mike Sullivan
