Posted on 13th October 2022 by Weston Owl Leave a comment

On November 3 at 7 pm, there will be a roundtable about community housing in Weston, with participation by many of the super-volunteers of our town. I was really hoping to roll in some cracks about Monty Python and the Holy Grail but it turns out I am fresh out of good humor at the moment. Fortunately I have some

Wade, the case which legalized abortion throughout the USA in 1973—until the Roe decision was reversed last June by the Court. The Local and Global Discussion Group of the COA will review recent key decisions about reproductive rights at its next meeting to be held on February 9 from 1:15 until about 3 pm. Instead of a complicated political and personal debate about the changes in the past 50 years affecting reproductive rights—a debate we see and hear daily in the media and the dinner table—we will focus our analysis instead on the Courts’ opinions and dissents on both sides of that debate. Weston resident Nick Danforth, an international family planning consultant and former director of the James Madison Institute (the foundation which took Roe from Texas to the Supreme Court) will lead our discussion. Nick hired and supported the late Texas attorney Sarah Weddington (with key help from another Weston resident) in preparing and arguing Roe. At 26, Sarah became the youngest woman ever to win a US Supreme Court case. Nick will lead our open discussion by sharing excerpts from key Supreme Court cases on reproductive rights since the mid-1960s. All interested in a civil discussion of these issues are welcome to attend in person or via Zoom. All participants’ views matter, particularly because policies affecting these fundamental human rights will require communication and compromise in every American state, where future restrictions on reproductive health services will need to be agreed upon in future. For more information or a Zoom link, please call the COA at 781- 786-6280. https://westonowl.com/2023/01/31/february-coa-discussion-group-the-supreme-court-and-reproductive-rights/ See more details WPL Film Club WPL Film Club 9th February 2023 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm Weston Art & Innovation Center Movie TBD https://westonowl.com/2023/01/05/weston-public-library-thursday-afternoon-film-club-january-2023/ See more details Burger Night at Weston Provisions Burger Night at Weston Provisions 9th February 2023 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm https://westonowl.com/2023/02/07/hot-off-the-presses-burger-night-is-back-at-weston-provisions-on-feb-9/ See more details PTO STEM: Coding Night PTO STEM: Coding Night 9th February 2023 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm https://westonowl.com/2023/02/03/elementary-schools-coding-night-games-and-challenges-for-k-5-on-feb-9/ See more details Meet Your Neighbors Social Hour Meet Your Neighbors Social Hour 9th February 2023 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm weston public library https://westonowl.com/2023/01/10/season-4-of-wpls-meet-your-neighbors-series-starts-january-12/ See more details • • • • •	10 Friends of WPL Bake Sale Friends of WPL Bake Sale 10th February 2023 9:30 am - 5:30 pm https://westonowl.com/2023/01/23/hold-the-date-library-bake-sale-february-10/ See more details WCL Valentine's Day Luncheon at COA WCL Valentine's Day Luncheon at COA 10th February 2023 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm https://westonowl.com/2023/02/01/wcl-looking-for-love-and-volunteers-for-coa-valentine-luncheon/ See more details • •	11 Re-Scheduled Stewardship Saturday: Pruning at Apple Orchard Re-Scheduled Stewardship Saturday: Pruning at Apple Orchard 11th February 2023 10:00 am - 12:00 pm https://westonowl.com/2023/01/18/stewardship-saturday-january-21-tree-pruning-at-the-apple-orchard/ See more details BWMPO John Hudson Scholarship Fundraiser BWMPO John Hudson Scholarship Fundraiser 11th February 2023 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm BWMPO John Hudson Scholarship Fundraiser Feb 11th @ 2PM: (Boston Weston METCO Parents Organization) in collaboration with our HS Academic Liaison, Tanaja Jordan, cordially invite you to our virtual John Hudson Memorial Scholarship fundraiser.
