Boston Post Cane Oldest Citizen Ceremony

Join Sudbury Town officials, the Council on Aging, and the Friends of Sudbury Seniors as they honor Sudbury's oldest citizen, Berthe Lessard, who will turn 100 on October 6.

Ms. Lessard will be awarded a proclamation and the Boston Post Cane, traditionally presented to the oldest citizen in the town.

Ms. Lessard is a long-time resident of Sudbury, and was one of those who were very instrumental in the establishment of the Sudbury Senior Center as we know it today.
