Hello Friends,
Yesterday was the perfect Autumn day to appreciate our beautiful city! I wish we could hold onto the mild temperatures, gentle breeze and warming sun for longer, but part of the joy of New England is the changing seasons. This weekend Concord is offering so many great events, there is no shortage of opportunities to get out, soak in the beauty and celebrate! Scroll down for details!
If, like me, you are celebrating the Jewish New Year, then I wish you a restorative and joyful celebration! Shana Tova Umetaku! I will be off the grid in observance, but will be busy with important community events next week and hope to see you at one or all of them! It takes all of our voices to keep our city flourishing!
TGIF,
Judith
