Quick way to let the Governor know we are paying attention to disability funding!

Copied from a group page: There is a great class for kids 3-6yo called “Young Scientists" at the Southborough Library tomorrow, Thursday, 10/30 at 10:15 AM. However, they currently do not have enough children enrolled to hold this class. I’ve been doing these classes with my kiddos and can confirm they are very fun and educational. So if you know anyone interested, please register on the Southborough Library website (events calendar). Thank you!
