Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Run Medford Seeking Volunteers For Annual Race Weekend (patch.com) — Medford residents are being asked to volunteer for this year's Run Medford race weekend, which features youth events at Hormel Stadium and main 5K and new 10K races starting at City Hall. Volunteers are needed on September 25 and 26 for roles like registration, T‑shirt and medal distribution, food and water stations, and course marshaling to help keep the community event safe and smooth.
2. 2 Events In Medford Mark 25th Anniversary Of 9/11 Terror Attacks (patch.com) — Medford residents can join two 9/11 remembrance gatherings Friday at Tufts University's Medford/Somerville campus, including a noon event at Goddard Chapel featuring the student-created Patches for Peace quilt. The story also recalls past city ceremonies at City Hall and highlights Medford's Sept. 11 Memorial Garden, while noting major national commemorations in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania.
3. Making My Transition to Tufts · Jumbo Talk (tufts.edu) — A Tufts upperclassman describes how a community-service pre-orientation program helped them connect with the surrounding Medford/Somerville neighborhood and ease the transition to college life. They highlight volunteering with local seniors and how early campus programs, clubs, and friendships built a lasting sense of community that now shapes their final year at Tufts.
4. Tufts librarians declare intent to form union, ask university for voluntary recognition (tuftsdaily.com) — Library staff at Tufts, including those at Ginn and Lilly libraries on the Medford/Somerville campus, have announced plans to unionize and requested voluntary recognition from the university. With over 70% signing authorization cards, they're pressing for better pay, clearer promotion paths, and cost‑of‑living protections, and may pursue an NLRB election if Tufts declines recognition.
