Monday Essentials: Consideration of the Milford Casino, A Walk at Fatima Shrine

The week ahead: consideration of the Milford casino, and an event for advocates of greyhounds.

1. Milford Selectmen will hold a regularly scheduled meeting on Monday. The agenda is heavy with items, but the board also is expected to discuss the proposed Foxwoods Massachusetts casino, and whether and how to proceed. Casino Free Milford supporters also will attend, and are on the agenda for a presentation.

2. The Holliston Conservation Associates are planning a walk at the Fatima Shrine on Thursday. The walk will be an easy one, on paved paths, and last about an hour.  It will be dusk, so bring bug spray, if desired. 

3. The 7th annual International Greyhound Update will be held Saturday in Hopkinton, arranged in part by Hopkinton-based Greyhound Friends. Leading members of the international greyhound welfare community will meet to discuss current issues relating to greyhounds, lurchers, Spanish galgos, and hounds around the world. Greyhound Friends, a non-profit, works to find responsible homes for former racetrack greyhounds.
