4. The Westford Whatever?: Hey, remember at Town Meeting in the Spring when there was a big hubbub about renaming that big piece of land across from Stony Brook Acres that we're not going to say the name of here because they made a committee to look into what the name of it should be?

Well, guess what! That committee has a meeting tonight. 

5. Meet Westford's Top Lunch Lady: Her name is Colleen Wallace, and her job is to oversee the people who prepare school lunches for your kids every day (if they buy lunches from public schools, that is.)

She's gonna be at the J.V. Fletcher Library on Tuesday night if you have any questions.
