• City Will Soon Form Committee to Review Watertown's Charter (watertownmanews.com) — Watertown is about to launch a new Charter Review Committee, and six residents will be chosen to help examine how the city government operates. With a lighter workload expected than the intensive 2021 review, officials will soon share how you can apply, and any proposed changes will ultimately go before Watertown voters for approval.
• Dozens of Watertown Residents Participating in the 38th Annual Jimmy Fund Walk (watertownmanews.com) — Nineteen Watertown residents are gearing up to join thousands of walkers in the Jimmy Fund Walk for Dana-Farber on Oct. 4, raising money for cancer research and care.

• Panel to Discuss Understanding & Preventing Domestic Violence in Wake of 2025 Tragedy in Watertown (watertownmanews.com) — A regional panel on understanding and preventing domestic violence is being held Oct. 8 at Belmont Public Library, inspired in part by a 2025 tragedy that deeply affected Watertown's Armenian community.
