Congratulations to Kristen Black and Northborough!

Good afternoon all. I want to formally invite you to our Annual Meeting where we will be honoring the work of Northborough with the migrant families and specifically, Kristin with a special recognition. Our theme is state/legislative/municipal/provider partnerships during this housing crisis. You all are the model Town in addressing the needs of families placed into the hotel. We want to celebrate that and hope you can join us!

Secretary Augustus is the keynote speaker and Senator Kennedy will be joining us to say a few words about the partnership and what it means to the families.

Please join us and feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who would like to help us celebrate the amazing things we have been able to accomplish in the region. You all are the only contacts I have so please forward this to everyone who was part of this amazing work!

Thank you Main Street Bank!
