Assisting seniors and people with disabili- t ies is one of their core mandates.

Launched in the late 1990s by my friend and former legislative colleague, Margaret Marland, our Early Years programs continue to be important investments in our societys future. Links2Care delivers Early Years programming in Acton and Georgetown. These are but a few examples of Links2Cares links to our community. I had the chance to meet some of this agencys dedicated staff in Georgetown on August 18. I came away very impressed with their enthusiasm and commitment. On Sunday August 10, Actons heritage and community spirit were on display at this years Leathertown Festival. I was glad to be able to attend and participate. I want to express my appreciation to Josey Bonnette and the Leathertown committee members, as well a l l the sponsors who helped to make the Festival such a great suc- cess. Thank you!
