Rebekah Gewirtz

Summer in Somerville 2010

Summer in Somerville has begun in full swing and there is a lot to do in and around the city. Most immediately, the city budget deliberations are coming up this week and next. There's a chance for you to weigh in on the budget, too. The schedule is below.

For those of you who are new to my newsletter, welcome. In this e-newsletter you will find information about events and happenings all around the Ward 6 neighborhood (Davis Sq, Ball Sq, Porter Sq, and parts of Tufts) and some events in other parts of the city that might interest you, too. If you have information you'd like me to share with others through my e-newsletter, send me an email to Rebekah.Gewirtz@gmail.com.

Best wishes for a happy summer,
Rebekah
