Volunteer Reminder

cannot do it all so we are putting out the call. The tasks will
include
weeding, dead heading, and watering. If you would be interested
in
being on a rotating schedule to care for the memorial garden we
would appreciate the help. Please contact Cathy for further
information.

The Danvers TRIAD Council is a
partnership which includes the Sheriff
and District Attorney of Essex County, the
Danvers Police and Fire Chiefs, the Council on Aging and supportive
services, and seniors. Is your house number clearly
visible from the street? Per Mass. General Laws Chapter 148
Sec.59 homes and businesses must have their premises number
visible from the street. This law is a result of the “911
System” when the emergency phone call to the
dispatcher shows the street address, but no other description.
You may have
installed a number, but if your home has been repainted this
summer or has new siding, the number may not have been
put back up. The Senior Center has numbers available free of
charge and volunteers are available to install them. Remember
when you call 911 for an emergency every second counts for
the EMT’s to locate your home as quickly as possible.
