Vellum & Sigil

Vellum &amp; Sigil is an independent life insurance agency specializing in high-risk and impaired-risk coverage, with deep expertise in business protection planning. Located at 350 Lincoln Street, Ste 2400, in Hingham, MA, the firm provides transparent, unbiased advocacy for families and business owners across six states: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Florida. With over five years of industry experience, Vellum &amp; Sigil guides clients toward lasting financial protection through education rather than sales pressure. Life insurance is the firm's core focus, with particular skill in placing coverage for clients with complex health histories — cases many agencies turn away. On the business side, Vellum &amp; Sigil is a go-to resource for buy-sell agreement funding (cross-purchase, entity-purchase, and hybrid structures), key person insurance, and SBA loan collateral insurance, helping small business owners protect what they've built. The firm also has specialized experience with court-ordered life insurance in divorce proceedings under Massachusetts law, working alongside family law attorneys to ensure compliance and proper coverage. Beyond life insurance, the agency offers long-term care and Medicare insurance, as well as group health benefits for businesses. Vellum &amp; Sigil also provides professional notary services, including signature witnessing, document verification, and full apostille courier processing, with a mobile notary team offering evening and weekend availability. As a 100% independent firm with access to over 60 insurance carriers, Vellum &amp; Sigil ensures clients receive tailored coverage recommendations that prioritize their specific goals — backed by clear communication and a dedication to simplifying complex financial and legal documentation.

Braintree Mom Launches New Pathway for Young Adults

Dharma Dreams Vocational Center

Dharma Dreams Vocational Center is a nonprofit vocational and life skills program based in Hanover, Massachusetts, serving young adults ages 18–26 with moderate cognitive disabilities. Our mission is to help students build practical job skills in the trades, confidence, independence, emotional regulation, and workplace readiness through hands-on vocational training and supportive learning experiences. The program was created in response to the growing need for meaningful transition opportunities for young adults as they move beyond high school and into adulthood. Many families struggle to find programs that combine practical workforce preparation, life skills development, communication skills, confidence-building, and supportive real-world learning experiences. Dharma Dreams offers hands-on exposure to vocational areas such as landscaping and grounds maintenance, painting and surface preparation, workplace professionalism, entrepreneurship basics, and life skills training. Students also learn mind-body techniques that support focus, confidence, emotional regulation, stress management, and workplace success. Our introductory summer program, launching at the end of July, is designed to help students and families become familiar with the program and explore vocational interests before participating in longer-term programming. Long-term programming focuses on helping students develop greater independence, workplace readiness, responsibility, confidence, and practical trade skills through structured, hands-on learning experiences. Dharma Dreams Vocational Center aims to create supportive pathways toward greater independence, meaningful employment opportunities, and a stronger sense of purpose while helping young adults feel valued, capable, and connected to their future potential.

Cape Cod

September 26-27th, 10am - 4pm
Join us for the 2nd annual Cape Cod Pottery Trail! This self-guided trail offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the people and places where Cape Cod pottery is made. With 16 locations on the 2026 trail map and multiple artists at some locations, visitors can experience an extraordinary range of ceramic work—from wheel-thrown and slipcast functional ware to hand-built sculpture, jewelry, raku and wood-fired pieces. Many of these spaces are not open to the public outside the Trail, making the weekend a unique opportunity to meet the artists, see their creative processes, and purchase work directly from the makers. The Trail is free and open to everyone. There is no starting point or route. Visitors already on-Cape can jump onto the trail at any location, while those arriving from off-Cape often begin at the Sagamore location. Download a map from the Pottery Trail website. For an added element of fun, this map doubles as a Pottery Passport which provides space to collect a stamp at each stop. Complete the passport and turn it in at the final stop for a chance to win a handmade piece created by one of the Trail artists. September 25, 5-7pm Kick Off the Weekend at the Preview Party Get the hottest ticket in town! Join us for a festive evening event where you will meet the makers, see (and purchase) samples of their work, connect with the thriving pottery community – all while enjoying food and drink in the beautiful garden setting. Tickets are $10, and available on the website.
