How do you begin to thank a person who has given selfless and dedicated service to her community? For starters you have a party. And that is just what colleagues, family and friends are planning for Maureen Dwinnell who will retire, at the end of the year, after 26 years, 8 months, and 8 days as the Treasurer/Collector for Hopkinton. In addition to her work as Treasurer/Collector, Maureen also served as Selectman for 6 years and as the Chairman for 5 of those years.
Her time in government also included being a state-elected member of the Metropolitan Planning Organization, co-chair of the Central Mass Transportation Authority and on the Board of Directors of the 495/MetroWest Partnership.
While her heart will always be tied to Hopkinton, Maureen and husband "Red" sold their home and 19 acre farm on College Street several years ago to purchase a larger piece of property in Upton. “Red” continues to cut and bale hay for area farms.
Always looking for ways to support her family Maureen will assist her daughter in her business, Liv Salon located at 77 West Main Street in Hopkinton, doing financial work. In addition, spending more time with her family is high on her list of priorities.
A retirement party, arranged by her colleagues, family and friends, will be held on Thursday, January 7, 2016 at the Laborers Training, 37 East Street,
Hopkinton, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The event will include dinner and promises to produce a few laughs.
Tickets may be obtained from the Hopkinton Human Resources office at Town Hall, 18 Main Street, Hopkinton. The cost is $25.00 per person payable in cash or check. Checks can be made payable to the “Chamber of Commerce”.
