Dear Super Grover, Welcome. You will get updates here and we hope that you will attend the next big meeting 3/21 at 5:30, Library. Details below as you saw. There is a google group for discussions if you like that. The Proposal will go up there in a few days. Sign up at watertownd...@googlegroups.com. Do you have a particular interest for dog parks? Would you send me your name and address so I can put you in a neighborhood. We are going to eventually convene neighbors as watchdog groups to keep an eye on all kinds of things going on in town.

Best, Barbara

Dear Sustainable Watertown,

URGENT NOTICE: PLEASE ATTEND AND LEND YOUR SUPPORT FOR PRESERVATION. Thursday, March 14, 7-9pm. Historical Commission. Please attend to show your support for preservation of the 1840s farmhouse at 917 Belmont Street. Hear the agreement between the Historical Commission and Beacon School/Walker. Only the front section of the house will be Landmarked and maintained to some extent for ten years; the rear part, some of which is original, will be taken down. In return the town will remove the demolition delay, end the move to make it a Historic District, help with fundraising, marketing plan, and finding a tenant (though the School has a veto). Please attend to lend your support to the preservation of Orchard House. Find out about the details of the Agreement. Help put Preservation of historic sites on the table.
