Verizon Employee from Natick Receives Honor

1. Allison Cole of Natick, a Verizon regional president and mother of two, has been tabbed as a 2013 Working Mother of the Year, according to workingmother.com.

Cole is one of the highest-ranking women in the region, overseeing more than 4,000 employees. Her team supports sales and customer service operations for consumer and small business customers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Equally impressive as her responsibility, though, is how quickly she rose to her current role.

5. Forecast:

Friday: Mild, windy and wet with soaking showers likely in the morning. Highs near 70. South wind howls!! Gusts could be 50+mph!! Wind breaks off early afternoon, with some peeks of sun possible late.
