UPDATED: Looking For A Used (Recycling) Truck?
Welcome to "About Town," the column that will keep you up to the minute with what's what, who's who and what the town's talking about. Check in often, because we will be updating often. And if you see something...say something.
ROOT FOR THE HOME TEAM
The School Committee was supposed to hold a meeting Thursday night but after checking their calendars, the members said: "oops!" Thursday night is also the first home game for Magicians Football. How can they help run the school without rooting on the home team? Join the committee and head to MHS Thursday at 7 p.m. for the first home game of the season. What says fall more than a night game at home?
LOOKING FOR A NEW RIDE?
The Board of Health voted Monday night to place one of its old recycling trucks in surplus. The town hopes to sell the truck on a new municipal site where surplus equipment can be sold.
