Hopkinton Today: Friday, Nov. 1

by | Nov 1, 2024 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

In the latest Tales from a Townie, William T. Hamilton Jr. recounts a harrowing night at sea during his time in the Navy.

Junior Sidharth Nair’s own experiences with loss have led him to advocate for more grief support and resources at Hopkinton High School.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is Edgar, a 6-month-old “set to grow into a large, friendly dog with a playful spirit and heart full of affection.”

The latest Professional Insights from Kim Foemmel of Foemmel Fine Homes gives an overview of capital gains taxes and how property owners can reduce and manage the tax burden to maximize profit.

COMMUNITY NOTE: Hopkinton Scouting troops will be distributing bags and flyers across the community tomorrow for the annual Scouting for Food Drive, which benefits the Project Just Because food pantry.

Residents are asked to fill the bags with nonperishable items such as condiments, canned goods, baking ingredients and household products and place them near their mailboxes by 10 a.m. on Nov. 9. Expiration dates must be January 2025 or beyond.
