You Can Shovel for Friends & Friendliness

You can shovel for your own gains AND for Somerville.  

• Make sure you're up to the health challenge (check with your doctor) and take it easy.  
• Stretch before and after.   
• Clear out 42 inches (or all the space if you have a narrow spot)
• Get the corners clear (and keep them clear) if you're the lucky home at the end of the block
• Sand, sand, and sand (the BEST safety help for your neighbors--way better than salt)
• Clear and sand driveways--keep the sand going each day

Commissions Engage and Represent!

Commissions are created to engage Somerville residents in the municipal management of our community's priorities.  We're proud to represent the diverse folks we have here in the City.  For our blog, we're going to share the development of the upcoming community-interactive "Know Your Rights" Campaign.  We'll talk about the data that's been collected by the commissions and reports sharing the results.  Also, we have amazing events to watch out for such as the upcoming March Women's History Month Reception.
