Ribbon Cutting today for the new Monty Tech Vocational High School Vet Science Center! I toured it when it was under construction a few months back...and WOW does it look amazing today! They even have a horse in the classroom ;-) Amazing resource for our community and students at Monty Tech.
So great to have Governor Charlie Baker join us for the ceremony! as well as Congressman Jim McGovern, Senator Dean A. Tran and Representative Stephan Hay (with the ribbon cutting photo credit!).
I joined with the students and we started in on the #Rainworks project with Ms Robillards Art Class at Longsjo Middle School! Thanks to a grant from the Fitchburg, MA Cultural Council!
When it rains... the FHS Raider and the Longsjo Olympian will start to appear around Longsjo Middle School! Working on more with the kids this week!
It took a few tries to get it right.... but I think we have it down pat!

United Way of North Central Massachusetts Day of Caring 2018! Led the Fitchburg Greenway Committee Trail Cleaning Crew for the Rock Walk Rollstone Hill Trail project (of which we have received $126k in grants for so far!) This HARD-WORKING team from Montachusett Community Branch YMCA, Caldwell Alternative School & Bemis helped clean up an abandoned campsite/dumpsite...and hike up to the top of the hill to clean up along the way in advance of our Fall Rock Walks!
Thank you so much for all the help!! #DOCNCM @unitedwayncm
Feeling the HEAT in Fitchburg WI! On Sunday, thanks to a great Fitchburg-Fitchburg connection with Rick Jollimore of the Fitchburg Fire Department(MA) and Dwight Shelton of the Fitchburg Fire Department (WI) we were welcomed to a tour of the brand new (2017) Fitchburg Wisconsin Fire Station #2!
This facility is beautiful----and---GREEN FIRE TRUCKS!! ❤️💚💚❤️
They have a Quint-Truck which is both an Engine (pumper) and a Ladder truck, and they have Tenders---which are trucks that are always filled with Water for emergencies where there is not available city water service---the pumper trucks can suck the water from the 'Tenders' and these Tenders can also run along the road shooting water out of the side or back for Brush Fires.
Their Uniforms/Gear? is Tan =) their facilities are amazing, Subzero/Wolf are manufacturers in Fitchburg, and donated equipment for their Kitchen which looks state of the Art. The even have an outdoor Garden.
Sleeping quarters for the 1 day on 2 days off? Firefighters and Interns with the local college for Fire Science degrees.
Fitch-Rona EMS operates out of their facility as well....and the FFR are working are working on getting a Fitchburg Emergency Management Agency more organized.
They use their gear for 10 years until it 'expires' and it is donated to rural communities or international areas.
They have a 3rd Fire Station under construction NOW as well.
Their flag and Fire Station has a large Irish theme (hence GREEN trucks!) — with Sam Squailia andDwight Shelton at Fitchburg Fire Rescue.
