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.

As Hopkinton’s new director of the Department of Public Works, Kerry Reed brings 20-plus years of experience in environmental engineering and municipal government to the town where she has lived for more than a decade.

This week’s Police Log includes one arrest along with reports of food-related vandalism at a house, a found bag full of money, and a Snapchat blackmail threat.

The Marathon Quilters Guild’s biennial Quilt Show will be held Sept. 16-17 at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts.

Town meetings tonight include the Board of Assessors (5:30).
