We’re excited two announce two additional dates to participate in a 90-minute virtual focus group regarding the MBTA’s Commuter Rail System! 

·                    Sunday, November 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM  

·                    Friday, November 21, 2025, at 1:00 PM 

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) would like to better understand the needs of current and potential riders of the MBTA’s Commuter Rail system, so they can develop a system that better serves local residents.  

We will be holding two additional 90-minute virtual conversations with community members, both riders and non-riders alike, in groups of 8-12 to discuss their use of and access to Commuter Rail services.  

We’re looking for adults who have traveled in Massachusetts in the past 6 months. They do not need to be Commuter Rail users. The focus group will include a facilitated discussion about Commuter Rail access and potential use. We would love to hear more about your experiences.  

To be eligible to take part in these focus groups, you must be:  

·                    18 years old or older. 

·                    Live within 15 miles of a MBTA Commuter Rail Station. See map. 

·                    Have an up-to-date email address. 

·                    Have Zoom camera access for 90 minutes 

Selected participants will receive an electronic $100 Visa gift card upon completion of the focus group with their camera on.  

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the form at this link. Please also send the attached flyer to anyone you think may have thoughts or experiences to share about traveling in Massachusetts.

ServiceMaster South Shore is proud to once again support Cape Cod Cares for the Troops. We are collecting donations to help fill stockings and care packages for soldiers spending the holidays away from home.

Donations can be dropped off at either of our offices:

*18 Jan Sebastian Drive, Unit 6 - Sandwich Industrial Park

* 9 Ford Place, Scituate.

We’re also happy to arrange pick-up for any donations upon request. Anyone wishing to donate may contact

Joanna Sayce directly at 339-236-2342.

As an Army Mom, Joanna knows firsthand how much these packages mean to our active-duty members as her son and his entire unit received them while serving in Iraq. Each care package contains their very own stocking filled with treats, comfort items, and messages of appreciation- a small reminder that their service is never forgotten.

**** Also, if you have a solider that is currently serving overseas, contact Cape Cod Cares for the Troops to have a package sent to your loved one during the holiday season****

Hello, my name is Lily O’Neill and my partner is Lila Villano and we are reaching out on behalf of the Plymouth North Marketing program and a student-run initiative called “Operation F.E.E.D”.

“Operation F.E.E.D” is our senior project with the purpose of raising funds for our DECA Chapter through sponsorships and fundraisers to decrease the cost of DECA conferences for all of our students. DECA is an international business competition where students who are part of our program learn business, entrepreneurship and leadership skills along with much more. Our program does not receive any school funding to assist with conference costs, leaving it up to the students of our program. With the help of sponsorships in the past we are able to cover around $50-100 for each student's conference cost, making the valuable experience of DECA more equitable for all students.

To any business or entrepreneur interested in supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders while getting involved with our community at Plymouth North, we encourage you to join our network of business sponsors. Your support goes directly back to our students and is greatly appreciated.
