SMALL BIZ SPOTLIGHT:
We appreciate ALL of the amazing businesses in Bridgewater and want to highlight some through this newsletter. Thank you to the passionate & committed team over at the newly reopened Bridge Center. Many of you may be familiar with The Bridge Center but did you know that after being closed for 3 years due to the pandemic, they partnered with Easterseals Massachusetts and reopened with a new team and new programs in September? We had the great pleasure of being welcomed by this team (twice) and can’t convey in words here how impressed we all were. They are ALWAYS looking for volunteers to help support everything from landscape cleanup (which will be on-going after being closed for 3 years), to supporting their programs - including the robust equine program. And, they have a wish list that includes the donation of a tractor! Please click those links above and be sure to follow them on social media too!
