Hopkinton MA has a new portal for connecting residents to local events and activities: The Community Calendar.

BOSTON—Today, the Massachusetts Senate passed Senate Bill 2562, An Act relative to gender identity on Massachusetts identification, which would establish a non-binary gender identity option for Massachusetts licenses. The bill was inspired by a letter from Ella, one of Senator Spilka’s constituents.
“I believe that this bill marks a step in the right direction for transgender, gender non-conforming, and cisgender citizens of the Commonwealth alike,” said Ella. “Whether it be an identity reason, a privacy reason, or otherwise, the symbol of ‘X’ allows individual freedom.”

Echo Trail Events:
Saturday, June 30, 9AM-noon: Echo Trail cleanup. We'll be sprucing things up ahead of the ribbon cutting ceremony. The main task will be to spread the wood chips currently piled at the entrance around the parking area to enhance this area. We will also work to shift a soil pile in the parking area further to the west to slightly increase available space. Tools to bring include wheel barrows, shovels, rakes, saws and clippers. Equipment can be dropped off at the trail but park either at Cornell's (in the back, by the dumpsters) or at 192 Hayden Rowe.
