A friend of mine said yesterday, "Shoveling after snowstorms is always a great way to re-meet your neighbors." and my reply was, "I couldn't agree more." It was great meeting some of my new neighbors and re-meeting others. It was great seeing everyone help each other and boy did I get some exercise.

It has been brought to my attention that the contact information I shared for Benjamin Echevarria the person that the School Committee appointed to fill the vacant position is incorrect. Unfortunately, after my initial conversation with Ben he has not gotten back to me with the correct information. It is also to my understanding that Ben has not been officially sworn in. It disappoints me so that Ward 1 is going without a School Committee Representative for so long now.
