The Week Ahead: Public Meetings & Events Happening in Melrose

Please note the following correction has been made in the Week Ahead email: This Wednesday's Superintendent Search Screening Committee's meeting will take place in the Superintendent's Conference Room located in Melrose Public High School, not in the City Council Chamber located at City Hall.

In Melrose, public meetings and events open to all community members take place every week. All posted agendas can be accessed via this link, http://melrosecityma.iqm2.com/citizens/default.aspx, and public meeting video recordings can be accessed here https://vimeo.com/mmtv3/ (thanks, MMTV!).
