Hive Roundup #4 | DPW Director and DEI Committee Transition, Residents' Accomplishments Celebrated

Hello and welcome back to the Hive Roundup! I skipped last week because #plague, but I’m back with a roundup of the big stories around town.

Before I get into it, I want to share two quick announcements:

• Thanks once more to all of you who converted to a paid membership during the month of November. Your contribution not only helps me keep the wheels on the bus; it also benefits local folks who need a little extra assistance.

• Burlington’s 50th tree lighting will take place tomorrow at 4:00 PM on the Common. There will be entertainment, fireworks, and even a visit from a guy in a red coat.

• Varsity Girls’ Hockey plays Westford Academy this afternoon at 2:20.
