Below is an update on the Medfield Rail Trail from Rep. Denise Garlick’s newsletter “Fresh Garlick,” that contains a link to a video about the building of the Medfield Rail Trail that is really interesting and well done.
For details of how Christian Donner and the other Medfield volunteers moved material on his home made motorized RR handcart, see Christian’s FB posts. Sadly, Christian reported that someone swiped the handcart, which otherwise was destined for inclusion in the Medfield Historical Society museum.
In Medfield, R. Zoppo Corp has recently completed removal of rails and ties along the rail trail between Ice House Road and the Dover line. The next work on the trail will be performed by Medfield DPW who will install a new subsurface. To learn more about this project, click here.

Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund received a $100,000 matching gift challenge
The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund has received a $100,000 challenge gift from an anonymous donor, that will match all other gifts made to the Legacy Fund before the end of the year. Your gift will not only be doubled, but can be put to work in your community through the grant making in 2022.
The 2021 Legacy Fund round of grants were just announced. The Legacy Fund received ten proposals requesting a total of $62,000 in grant money, and after careful consideration, the MFi Legacy Fund awarded $28,200 in grants to 4 groups:
Medfield Outreach
Peak House Heritage Center
Sustainable Medfield
Friends of the MHS Theatre Society
The MFi Legacy Fund looks forward to seeing the results of the great work these groups will do for our community. The MFi also looks forward to building a larger endowment to allow its grants program to fulfil more of the needs presented to the Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund.
Donate by year end to have your donation doubled, either on-line at www.MedfieldFoundation.org/legacy-fund or send a check to the Medfield Foundation, 459 Main Street, Medfield, MA 02052.

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.
HOLIDAY STROLL
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 virtual meeting with Congressman Jake Auchincloss
Dear friends,
It is my pleasure to invite you to attend a virtual Medfield Roundtable with U.S. Congressman Jake Auchincloss on Tuesday, November 30th from 5:00-6:00 pm.
The Roundtable with the Congressman will provide an opportunity for local community leaders and stakeholders to receive an update about the American Rescue Plan and the pending Federal infrastructure legislation packages and how they can benefit Medfield. The Congressman will share a brief overview of his first several months in office and then will open most of the session for Q & A from participants.
Jake wants to hear what is on the mind of Medfield residents, so please plan on joining us for this unique opportunity to become inform about his work in Washington D.C.
Past memories include seeing Chris Hajjar out ahead all by herself as the “fox” laying the scent (while she said her turkey cooked at home), Steve Browne swiftly cantering or galloping by on a really large black horse on the access road to the McCarthy Park ball fields, and seeing lots of riders on many sized steads all having lots of fun.
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.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
