New Podcast, “Eye on Watertown,” Seeks to Create a Place for Informal Public Engagement
Dear Editor,
I write to highlight the following on Watertown’s ADA survey. From the website:
ADA Survey
Help support Watertown and its commitment to accessibility. Watertown is working with Kessler McGuinness & Associates, LLC (KMA) to develop an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan to ensure residents and visitors have access to all facilities, programs, and services. An important part of this planning process is providing opportunities for the public and people with disabilities to offer input and voice concerns. This survey is intended to gather preliminary data to assist the planning team in identifying and prioritizing any barriers to access for individuals with disabilities at Watertown’s facilities or within the programs and services it currently offers.
Watertown residents can expect a dynamic stretch of weather as February transitions into March. A seasonable and breezy Friday will give way to a weak system bringing a mix of snow and rain Friday night into Saturday morning. Temperatures will briefly rise into the 50s on Saturday before a cold front moves through, ushering in a sharp temperature drop and another shot of winter air. Sunday and Monday will be noticeably colder, with highs struggling to reach 30°F and bitter nighttime lows. A gradual warming trend begins on Tuesday, with milder temperatures before a significant storm system brings widespread rain and gusty winds by midweek.
The 12th Annual Watertown MusicFest, benefiting music programs in the Watertown Public Schools, seeks performers of all ages and styles. See the announcement from the Friends of Watertown Music below. Calling all musicians: Friends of Watertown Music invites performers to register for our 12th Annual Watertown MusicFest through March 26th! Our Annual MusicFest is a fun community event, offering something for everyone with over 40 performances, across 3 stages, to be held this year on Friday, April 11th, from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. The variety of performers often includes student musicians, Watertown Public School teachers, local rock bands, established musicians, a vignette of musical theater, and more. Performances run from 5 to 20 minutes, so attendees have the chance to go around and see as many acts as they wish.
The following announcement was provided by the Watertown Library:
This year, the Watertown Free Public Library (WFPL) has selected poet and author Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights for their annual community read, One Book, One Watertown. Taking cues from the book, the Library invites the local community to read along, attend themed programs in March, and consider the question, “what happens when we study delight?”
On Tuesday, March 18, WFPL will welcome Ross Gay, virtually, for “An Evening of Delight.” Attendees can chat with Ross Gay by joining from home via Zoom or in person, in the library, with Ross Gay up on the big screen. CART Services and ASL will be provided on Zoom. Also coming up in March: live music, a plant care workshop, art making, and more.
