  • Luau at the Lake – September 12, 2009

    FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Friends of Saxonville invite the greater Framingham Community to the 10th annual Discover Saxonville event. Each year The Friends focus on a feature of Saxonville that makes Saxonville special and unique. This year we highlight Lake Cochituate at Saxonville Beach with a “Luau at the Lake” on Saturday September 12th from 3PM to 6:30 PM.

    The beach is located on Lake Road, just off Old Connecticut Path, in Saxonville with plenty of parking.

    The event begins at 3:00PM with refreshments, games, fun contests and prizes. The Luau starts at 4:30PM with a mix of Polynesian and Southern Barbeque cuisine provided by Firefly’s Bodacious BBQ and the Three Gorges restaurants plus a colorful and festive dessert by Culinary Artworks.

    Live music from the George Ede Trio (of Liberty Music fame) offers a delightfully unique Hawaiian-Country sound.

    Discovering Saxonville with a Luau-at-the-Lake is a fun finish to the summer for the entire family. And all of that for $15 per person, kids 12 and under, free.

    To reserve a spot send a check to the Friends of Saxonville, Box 3236, Framingham, MA 01705. For more information call John at (508) 877—6771, or visit www.saxonville.org

  • Divine Kitchens Offers Showroom to Non-Profit Organizations

    FRAMINGHAM, MA — Is your non-profit organization looking for a new venue to hold a fundraiser or meeting? Divine Kitchens on Lyman Street in Westborough, just off Route 9, offers its luxury kitchen showroom to area groups free of charge for just that purpose!

    Host a local chef for a cooking demonstration to attract your membership. Hold a dinner meeting of your board there. Perhaps your organization would like to offer a cooking class as part of its programming, but no one member wants to host the activity in their home kitchen? Here’s your chance.

    “We’ve worked with several local organizations, including Ovations for a Cure, to host evening cocktail parties, wine and cheese receptions and cooking demonstrations,” said Divine owner Mariette Barsoum. “This is our way to give back to the community and meet new people.”

    Barsoum is available for educational talks as part of the event, but that is not a requirement for using the free space. Divine provides its space, as well as dishes, glasses and silverware for the event. For more information call 508-366-5670 or visit www.divinekitchens.com.

  • Sprucing up outside the Library Branch

    The McAuliffe Library now has two new signs.  The lawn sign includes some planets as a reference to Christa McAuliffe as teacher in space.

    The road and sidewalk in front of the main doors have been redesigned.  The crosswalk on either side has been  plagued by large puddles on rainy days and because of snow run-off.  Also, the speed of the cars going past the library has been an issue.  The road has been narrowed and the pavement redone to take care of the puddle problem and to subtly encourage motorists to slow down as they pass the library.

    Looking good!
