This should be a somewhat quiet week ahead, I’m hoping that your week at work will be meeting free! The previous week was an outstanding one in Medford. If you said there is nothing to do, you didn’t try to look. Seeing Patti Smith at the Chevalier was among the highlights. Last Friday, Jonathan Fagen brought his jazz trio and opened the floor to have other musicians join in. All night we have all ranges of people playing and these were top shelf musicians who were having a great time and we did this at the Danish Pastry House on Boston Ave. If you haven’t been yet, absolutely do that.

It takes a special kind of person to run, especially on a Sunday morning but if you are one of those exceptional people, come join the crew that runs every Sunday.

NEW RUNNERS ALWAYS WELCOME – JUST SHOW UP!

ALL LEVELS OF RUNNING/PACES ENCOURAGED

The Plan:

Meet at 11am in front of the brewery
Coats and bags may be left inside
Choose from 3, 5, or 7-mile loops (or do your own)
Taproom opens at noon with cold beer waiting for you at the finish!

*Sunday run is organized by the Kier Byrnes Freedom Runners

Monday evenings are Makerspace drop ins. While it is no secret that the Medford Public library plays host to the most events in Medford hands down, the only problem you will have is being paralyzed by indecision as there is so much to choose from. I’ve been to a few Makerspace drop ins and tonight will be no different, I hope to see you there! What do the Friends of the Medford Public Library have to do with anything? They raise the money to help the library put on these events.
