As a reminder, the Weston Community Children’s Association (WCCA) invites everyone in town, whether they have children or not to their first Nonprofit Summit, also known as a Volunteer Fair, today, Friday September 30 from 4-6 pm. A number of local organizations will be there talking about what they do, and why, and how you might get involved. For example,
Read moreOne of my favorite small farmstands in Weston, the Viles Farm, is hitting fall hard, after a bit of a rough start to the year due to family illness. The Owl stopped by with the Grand Owl for a bit of a shop on the way home from a lovely breakfast at Heirloom and a walkthrough of Weston Table and
Read moreThe Owl is a huge fan of WEEFC (Weston Education Enrichment Fundraising Committee) except for one thing. The name. OMG, the name. It hurts my purple Kellogg marketing soul. I have two options for you, WEEFC, one of which is to take some of my suggested names (How about “Weston Better” or “Weston Wins”? Not everything should be an acronym
Read moreThe Owl is feeling karma’s targeted blast this morning as she waits for a nail to be removed from a tire–a nail that appeared right after a certain soccer parent may have secretly (never ever vocally) wished that Boston Latin’s team would have JUST ONCE this season let our team win. And yeah, nail in tire there in West Roxbury,
Read moreCelebrate the arrival of October, the year’s orangest month (unless you are Dutch and then well, orange is never out of style) by stopping by the reception honoring Weston artist Joe Ferguson this Saturday, October 1 starting at 2 pm at the Art & Innovation Center.

Or as the Owlets say (and you all know this by now, right?), no one cares. Actually, I do care. And I have plenty of editorial comment to make but will refrain until a later
Read moreOn Thursday, September 29 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm, head down the street to my favorite W town that isn’t Wellesley or Wayland, and join the fun at the legendary Charles River Museum’s Craft Beer for a Cause fundraiser. For those not familiar with it, the Charles River Museum is Waltham’s hometown museum with a mission to educate about America’s
