What a great week for Girls Inc and Worcester!!!

  • Girls Inc and I were honored on Thursday morning, June 4 at the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce's Breakfast Club Salute at Mechanics Hall. 
  • The Worcester Tree Initiative hosted a tree planting clinic and tree give away in our parking lot this morning - over 75 trees found new homes, including three that they planted in front of our auditorium
  • I was Mauro Des Pasquales' guest on Soapbox on WCCA TV on Wednesday night, June 3. (The show can be downloaded at www.wccatv.com)  I have also been interviewed for the community programs with Jen Carter on WXLO and Mark Veau Oldies WORC - both of those shows air at 6AM on Sunday, so many of you may have missed them!  I know I did!
