For nearly 20 years, I've had the privilege to serve our community and get to know our people. I am what you might call a "serial volunteer"—doing everything from clearing invasive plants to chairing board meetings.When a need arises that I can help solve, I jump in. Like now.

I had a great time volunteering at the annual MLK Day Breakfast yesterday, one of my favorite Belmont events every year. As I greeted people at the check in table, I was reminded of how strong we can be as a community when we come together with a shared vision. Dr. Sophia Boyershared Dr. King's inspiring message of unity, which urges us to love even the people we oppose because we share something in common with everyone.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/834b59bd-b1f6-4f75-b6c5-6bbc4dd416ac/40476418-ba33-44b9-b981-b62063ce219a/40476418-ba33-44b9-b981-b62063ce219a.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4176%2C5289&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">

The library grand opening was outstanding! Nearly 5,200 people came through the doors over two days, a real testament to Belmont's love of knowledge and community. I was the Select Board liaison to the Library Trustees for six years, and I am gratified that I could be part of the very large group of volunteers who made it happen. It was definitely a milestone worth celebrating!<img src="https://run.imgix.net/834b59bd-b1f6-4f75-b6c5-6bbc4dd416ac/e02c8e0b-ed0c-4cc8-975e-4ddcabfb8306/e02c8e0b-ed0c-4cc8-975e-4ddcabfb8306.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4032%2C3024&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/834b59bd-b1f6-4f75-b6c5-6bbc4dd416ac/368305a4-ebf8-4104-b3db-8b6adbb08735/368305a4-ebf8-4104-b3db-8b6adbb08735.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2048%2C1536&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">

Finally, Belmont has a new rink! In the winter of 2023, as I voted to put the rink on the ballot, I observed that our decision was not between the old rink or a new rink, it was between a new rink or no rink. Now we have a multi-use facility that also supports events on Harris Field, and the rink was designed with an environmentally sensitive, "freon-free" refrigeration system. Plus, no more birds!<img src="https://run.imgix.net/834b59bd-b1f6-4f75-b6c5-6bbc4dd416ac/8b581931-95a9-467f-84ac-8e29fdeb8093/8b581931-95a9-467f-84ac-8e29fdeb8093.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4032%2C3024&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">
