Money Matters



Is Your Automated Giving Set Up for the new fiscal year? We are thrilled that so many of you use automated giving, either through Realm or your bank's bill payer system. Now that we are two months into our new fiscal year, this is a good time to verify that your payments are set-up and going out correctly to fulfill your FY23_24 pledge. Remember that in Realm setting up automated giving is a separate task from making a pledge.  If you have any questions, you can contact Lisa Shumway at [email protected] or Susie Wells at [email protected].


Book Group


The book this month is Save Me the Plums by Ruth Reichl. The September 8th feast will be hosted by Judith Nicholson, 49 Lackey St. 



Contact Susie Wells at [email protected] with any questions.

Westborough for Life!

Stay. Connect. Thrive.


We will be participating as an exhibitor in the upcoming Westborough Connects event - Westborough for Life! Stay. Connect. Thrive., taking place at Westborough High School on Sunday, September 10th from 1-4 pm. This free community program is aimed at adults from age 45-99+. Through an expo featuring community clubs, businesses, and organizations; a variety of mini courses; and participation in fun activities aka "funtivities," the event offers many ways to connect and live well in Westborough. Whether you are curious about opportunities to join local organizations, you want to feel like a kid going back to school by taking a short course on an interesting topic, or you’ve always wanted to try your hand at activities such as salsa dancing or pickleball, this event is for you. Stop in anytime during the day- or stay the whole time. Invite local friends, family and neighbors, too. We hope to see you there.
