I want to thank DPW, Facilites Maintenance, Police, and Fire for their hard work this winter. Our staff has lined up some dynamic offerings this summer as well as enhancing some traditional favorites. Memorial Beach, Natick Community Organic Farm, JJ Lane, and Sassamon Trace Golf Course are some of our outdoor gems that we encourage you to visit if you haven’t already. We hope that all of you will spend time with us this summer, as there’s something fun to do for everyone.
