Mail Bag: Reuse Committee Meets Tonight, Congregational Church to Celebrate 100 Years, Comedy at Shriners

The North & Trahan Reuse Committee meets tonight at Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. On the agenda is a first look at the resident survey that closed on Tuesday. Chair Bruce Shick, who was handing out QR codes outside Town Meeting to make sure all residents had the opportunity to make their opinions known, said the survey had close to 900 responses on Monday. Did they make their goal of 1,000? We’ll find out tonight. There is also 10 minutes set aside for resident comments.

Got books or puzzles to share? On Oct. 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the Friends of the Tewksbury Public Library will hold a book and puzzle swap. The group needs a few more volunteers to help receive and sort puzzles. Sign up for a shift here or mark your calendar to drop off donations. Team Carnation will be there from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The Friends are also switching to Zoom for their monthly meetings starting in November, hoping to boost attendance. If you’re interested in helping the group support our library programming, mark your calendar for Wednesday, Nov. 2 and sign up to get on the mailing list.
