The Holidays Aren't Just For Turkeys

This season has been filled with holiday parties – and more are on the way!  Here’s a look at some local gatherings.

Monday afternoon, my staff and I again volunteered as guest chefs at the Merrimac Senior Center.  In addition to lunch, there was entertainment by a local tap dancing troupe.
