Join us for holiday cheer, complimentary wine & refreshments as we get a night to socialize, shop & support a local nonprofit at Golden Pond Assisted Living on Wednesday, December 2 from 6:30-10:00 PM.

Thinking of downsizing? Want to move but are overwhelmed and stressed about parting with your stuff? Even if you are just thinking about your next move, or even if you have already moved and have too much stuff, come to listen and ask questions so you can make decisions while you are still in charge.

Come to the Lodge at Golden Pond Assisted Living, 60 West Main Street in Hopkinton, on Saturday, November 14 from 9:00-10:30 AM to join Ann Newbury, Senior Move Manager from Smooth Transitions. Call 508-435-1250 to register.

The Hopkinton Senior Center (28 Mayhew Street) is in need of waitstaff in our Dining Room which serves weekday lunch. Particular need is on Tuesday and Friday. You can choose to volunteer once a week, every other week or once a month. Waitstaff work from 10:45 am - 1:00 pm. Duties include making sure table setup is complete and guests are served drinks, soup/salad, main course and dessert, and tables are cleared and set up for the following day. It is a wonderful opportunity for socialization as well as serving a great need.

Under the direction of the Finance Director the Treasurer/Collector provides professional administrative and supervisory work involving the collection, receipt, expenditure and custody of all municipal funds, the borrowing of money, and the custody of tax title properties. The principal will exercise considerable independent judgment and initiative in the planning, administration, and execution of the department’s services; the interpretation and application of laws, regulations, and procedures, and in the direction of personnel.

On Wednesday, November 18 at 6:30 PM, Mary Starr Green will introduce a number of simple but powerful stress-busting practices that can be used anytime at the Hopkinton Public Library. These “self-care tools” can be especially helpful during the busy holiday season. The evening will include breathing exercises, gentle stretching (can be done while sitting in a chair) and a variety of guided meditations. Although the practices are based on Kripalu yoga and mindfulness meditation, absolutely no prior experience is necessary! A handout and resource list will be provided.
