Rownak Hussain has advised me she will be retiring from her position as Library Director for the Town of Hopkinton effective March 11, 2016. Rownak will be relocating to spend some quality time with her family. She joined Hopkinton eleven (11) years ago and has contributed significantly to the quality of library services and resources in Town. Front and center, Rownak has been a tireless advocate for the Library Project and, over the years, has become the face of the library.

With the successful completion of a recent capital campaign, St. John the Evangelist has begun restoration and painting of the north side aisle and rear of the church. According to Fr. Richard Cannon, pastor of St. John's, pledges from parishioners, amounting to $1,024,000, exceeded expectation. After water damage repair, art work restoration, and overall painting, the interior of the historic church is expected to recapture the vision of its original, uniquely skilled craftsmen.

The Hopkinton Fire Department would like to send out a special thanks to Firefighter William Lukey as he serves his final tour of duty for the Town today. Bill joined the department back in 1983 as a call/volunteer firefighter and then in 1989 committed himself to a career of public service. We are all lucky to have worked alongside Bill through the years as shared his wonderful humor, wisdom and firefighting experience. So after more than 32 years of service and commitment to our Town, we say farewell to Bill and wish him the best in his retirement years.
