Nothing new on the site today, but we had a busy-ish week here. So in case you missed it:

There was a townwide-yard sale last weekend.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul spoke to us about their work.
The Board of Selectmen touched on a number of topics...
...including 40B, which Jeff Raymond wrote about earlier this year.
In opinion, we also saw the return of the Naffblog and Scenes From the Second Parish examined our digital footprint.

In other news:

The Telegram and Gazette profiled five members of the undefeated Millbury Woolies. (T&G)
