Friday evening, December 4th, the Holliston Select Board (below) held a brief but important meeting to review all the safety precautions in place to confidently hold a safe Town Meeting on Saturday, December 5th.

The Wednesday evening remote meeting of the Library Trustees was opened by Chair Nancy Baron at 7 PM, with all Trustees present. Minutes from the November meeting were approved, and then Baron turned to Leslie McDonnell, Library Director, for her monthly report.

Because the way we gather and report COVID-19 data has changed so much since the pandemic began, it can sometimes be difficult to make apples-to-apples comparisons between our current state of affairs and the information we had in March and April. This is especially true when comparing new case numbers, as we are testing far more people than we did at the beginning of the pandemic (which is good) but does ultimately result in higher case numbers.

A local High School freshman is Holliston’s Project 351 Ambassador, has organized a food drive to benefit the Holliston Pantry Shelf. The drive runs from December 5 – 13. See the flyer below for details.

A message from Holliston Public Schools Food Services Director Susan Palefsky regarding how school lunches work during the current school schedule.

As a reminder of the need for continued vigilance in the coming months as we await the rollout of additional effective treatments and, ultimately, widespread use of an approved COVID-19 vaccine, the administration has launched the #GetBackMass campaign.

Members of HFD went to the aid of several residents during this reporting period.

As we enter a new month, I wanted to highlight the month-by-month trend in two key COVID-19 metrics to help establish where we are compared with the first phase of the pandemic.

The November 30, 2020 Select Board meeting followed the remote meeting rules implemented early in the pandemic. Chair John Cronin called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm.
