Daily Buzz | It’s Burlington’s Birthday!

Good Morning, and Happy Birthday to Burlington!

I’ll wait while you sing a happy birthday song. 😉

Did you know our town was a precinct of Woburn from 1730-1799? The town was also agricultural - farmland covered much of where our houses and business sit today.

I found a really interesting document, updated by our Town Administrator in 2021, while I was looking to write about Burlington’s big day, and I don’t want to quote it too much so I’ll link it here. Pages 9 thru 11 talk about the town’s history, and you can bet I’ll be poring over the rest this week to see what else I can learn and pass on to you.

A few things happening today:

  • Masks become optional in schools and, importantly, on school buses. If you have kids who are a part of the COVID home testing program, don’t forget to test them before school (she reminds herself…)

  • Recreation Department catalog goes live today!

  • Select Board meeting tonight at 6.

Correcting an error from yesterday: The Sculpture Park Committee will be meeting on Friday, not Tuesday. This has been updated on the web version of yesterday’s email.

I’m hoping to get a chance today to compile my meeting with Larry Cohen from the Burlington Conservation Commission, and don’t forget - I’m open to requests for podcast guests or topics.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Burlington birthday talk on Thursday evening!

Signing off for now!

Nicci
