Letter to the Editor: All volunteer deserve thanks

by | Oct 25, 2018 | Featured

I praise the Volunteer Recognition Advisory Group for honoring Beth Mezitt and Mary Pawela. They deserve it! 

However, I would like to thank all the volunteers in our community who also give so many hours in serving others within our town. I think of volunteers who are associated with the churches, schools, Senior Center, Bay Path Humane Society, veterans, Women’s Club as examples which show hours and hours of volunteer work which keeps Hopkinton a caring, healthy community. A “BIG” thank you to each one of you who serve. We are a blessed community.

— Mary McLeod, Hopkinton
