As the snow continues to accumulate, please take a moment to check on your neighbors, especially veterans and the elderly!

If you’re out shoveling, take a few moments to clear a hydrant in your neighborhood. Help @MelroseFF keep you safe!

@BNSaugus Thank you for your partnership over the years - for providing us w/ fundraising opportunities, but more importantly opportunities to share local veterans’ stories & artifacts w/ customers & collect holiday cards for veterans & deployed service members. You will be missed!

@NEMetroTech @MayorBrodeur And what a beautiful podium it is! It’s already made its public debut, at the @CityofMelrose Veterans Day ceremonies! Much gratitude to the @NEMetroTech students who participated in this project!

Melrose @MayorBrodeur and Councilman MacMaster presented certificates to Carpentry juniors T Picon, D Gore, J Lauzon & J Sena. These students built a podium for the Melrose Veterans Services earlier this year.
