Dear Villagers,
Here are a few noteworthy reminders:
- The Village has a program called the One Minute Check-in, formerly known as Rise & Shine, which is available for members who live alone and may feel insecure as they recuperate from an illness, operation, or for any reason at all. To set up a daily check-in call, contact the Village at 978 206-1821.
- Remember to alert the Village if you have moved. It's important the we have your current address so you can receive services and Village mail.
- And lastly, remember to vote today if you haven't already!
