Concerned About Your Family’s Health? Want to Make A Difference In Your Community and Meet New People?Wellesley residents are encouraged to come to the next Sustainable Wellesley action meeting on Sunday, September 15th from 2:00-3:30pm.

No experience necessary; just come with you variety of talents, enthusiasm and knowledge. 

Some of the items on the agenda include:

• Gas update: dangerous and costly gas main “blow-offs” and gas leaks
