Endicott Excitement This Weekend, Sports and Meetings Pile Up

Whether you are looking for a new fitness class to join - the Council on Aging Tai Chi starts Monday morning - or a high school sports game to watch - all three high schools have a full tilt - there is plenty happening in Dedham this week.

Besides sports and fitness, the Board of Selectmen will join a number of town department officials at the Endicott Estate Monday evening for one of several "Town Hall to Your Neighborhood" events. At this meeting, residents will meet officials, hear what is being done around town and ask questions.

Selectmen also will meet at Town Hall on Thursday to discuss proposals for Special Town Meeting, which is slated for November.

Town Hall is expected to be busting at the seems this week with a full slate of meetings. The Private Ways Committee is expected to meet, along with the Mitigation Committee and Parks and Recreation Committee. In addition, trustees for the library and the food pantry will hold Wednesday meetings.

This weekend is a busy one at the Endicott Estate with a music festival eveing Friday night, a comedy event Saturday and the annual Oktoberfest on Sunday.

A couple other things to be on the lookout for this week are the release of state MCAS scores for individual districts and students, and the conclusion of fundraising for lights for the new athletic field at Dedham High School.
