Tonight is Megan’s last night at the Weymouth Teen Center. She is moving on to bigger ( not better) things. In her time here she has represented us in the BEFJunior national pool tournaments twice in Vegas and once in New Orleans. She is a certified billiards instructor and has helped to improve the games of many of our teens. We wish her luck and she will be missed. Good luck Megan.

I want to thank Life Community Church and their friends from Georgia. They spent 4 days at our building. One of their many surprises was this amazing new homework/ tutoring space. They are an amazing group of caring and giving people.

We are back and it may be toasty out, but all the cool kids will be there! Market tonight 4-7pm at Tufts Library. Live music from Rob Henriksen and featuring Ellie’s Treats and KCs Curbside Bistro
Additional parking is available thanks to our friends at Coastal Heritage Bank and the South Shore Christian Academy.
