Recreation comes alive in our latest committee meeting where small-town governance meets the real work of maintaining community spaces. From the promising regrowth of the Bettencourt Field to handling unexpected fence damage from midnight joyriders, this gathering showcases the day-to-day efforts that keep our town's recreational areas safe and functional.
The meeting highlights significant progress with the after-school program, which has reached full capacity with plans to expand by 20% to meet growing community demand. Meanwhile, the rental property stands ready for new tenants, with several families expressing interest and a public lottery planned to ensure fair selection. The committee efficiently handled approvals for the Lions Club liquor license and cross-country course usage, demonstrating their commitment to supporting community events while balancing facility availability.
Beyond routine matters, the discovery of numerous open wells across town property raised important safety concerns, prompting immediate action to secure these hazards with proper steel coverings. Community partnerships shine through with an upcoming Eagle Scout project to enhance the gazebo area, and horse enthusiasts continue bringing life to the riding ring—a source of particular joy for committee members who enjoy watching the barrel races and equestrian activities. Looking ahead, fall programs are taking shape with group outings to Celtics and Bruins games, while the annual Trunk or Treat event is scheduled for October 23rd. With Triple E and West Nile virus levels at moderate risk, the committee reminds everyone enjoying outdoor activities to take proper precautions with bug spray and appropriate clothing. Join us in supporting these vital community spaces and programs that enhance our town's quality of life!
