State legislators representing Woburn issued a press release Tuesday highlighting the $110,000 they secured for Woburn in the state budget.Scenes from the site of our recent staff retreat at the Boston Public Library. This local treasure was established in 1848 to provide a public space for learning in this immigrant city. The perfect place to work on program strategy for the coming year. We highly recommend the free Art & Architecture Tours, offered daily!
Cindy’s work in the Senate made sure that services for local immigrants received funding in the FY 19 State Budget. We are proud and grateful for her support!
To commemorate my 1-year anniversary as your state Senator, my team compiled a list of highlights from the past year. Please click on the link below to view our “Year in Numbers” and get a better sense of the work I’ve been doing this session to benefit the 4th Middlesex district and the Commonwealth.
This morning EAL staff put on their dancing shoes to give feedback to one of our learner's on the English he uses for his work as a ballroom dance instructor at SuperShag Dance Studios in Waltham. Interested in dancing with Imi? We highly recommend it! www.supershag.com/imre-gombkoto.html
