What an incredible day! Thanks to all of you who joined us for our Annual Golf Tournament on Sept. 22 at Windham Country Club — whether you played, sponsored, volunteered, or just came out to cheer us on — we raised over $20,000 for Operation American Soldier!
While all this work is going on building us a new improved Mt. Auburn St., let’s remember to support the shops and restaurants in Coolidge Square. I have heard from a few businesses that their clientele is down significantly, so let’s help them out! I highly recommend the brunch at Red Lentil. Take a look at their version of French toast! Uncommon Ground and the Deluxe Town Diner are also perfect destinations for a weekend breakfast out on the town. This weekend let’s show them some love.
