Over the past two years, we have become acutely aware of the importance of belonging to a strong, vibrant, and supportive community. Life can quickly and unexpectedly change for us, our family, neighbors, and friends. We here at the Medfield Foundation are writing today to appeal for your help to address our most pressing community needs during these challenging times. Established in 2001, the Medfield Foundation (MFi) is a 100% volunteer-run 501 (c)(3) non-profit charitable corporation. Our mission is to enrich the lives of Medfield residents, build a stronger community, and facilitate the raising and allocation of private funds for public needs in Medfield. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. As Medfield's community foundation, MFi is interwoven within the fabric of our town, helping to fundraise over $3,000,000 for community projects, create meaningful events, and-build - - - - resilience for the future. Two major initiatives that currently need help are: • MFi Public Need Fund, which supports the growing number of families facing hard times and crises. This Fund is used by Medfield Outreach and is primarily financed through the proceeds of the MFi Angel Run and your donations. • MFi Legacy Fund Endowment, which is a growing fund whose goal is to raise an endowment large enough to enable annual grants to support community-driven projects to strengthen and improve our hometown now and in the future. On the reverse side of this letter are examples of the enormous impact these Funds have already had on our community. By giving today, you can positively influence the lives of our neighbors who face difficult times. With humility and hope, we ask you to support these two initiatives that will help our community thrive. The enclosed donation card shows the many ways to contribute. To learn more about MFi, the Public Need Fund or Legacy Fund, please go to MedfieldFoundation.org, follow us on social media or email info@MedfieldFoundation.org. Give where you live and where your heart is. Your support will make a difference! With Heartfelt Gratitude, Kirsten Poler President P.S. Does your employer offer matching gifts? You can double your impact!

Norfolk Hunt Club at the former Medfield State Hospital this morning – one of our Thanksgiving traditions

Posted on November 25, 2021 | 1 comment

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.

MEDFLD turns out for election

Posted on November 15, 2021 | Comments Off on MEDFLD turns out for election

Voting was heavy when I was there at 8:30AM.

Nice to see that MEDFLD turned out to vote –

Vehicle was still next to me when I left, so I am guessing a poll worker.
