Letter to the Editor: Care for community

by | May 20, 2020 | Letter to Editor

To the editor:

Looking out my window [April 23], I just saw three lovely teenage young ladies walking down the street carrying white plastic bags.

I was curious and watched as they picked up trash on the side of the road. They were busy as they walked along the road.

Good can come out of difficult times.  The girls put a smile in my heart.

We learn and grow through difficult times.

Let’s do something today for a friend, family member or our community.

Stay safe!

— Mary McLeod, Hopkinton
