An Invitation to Paul Georges

Mr. Georges,

I ran into a couple of teachers after my WCAP appearance when I stopped for a coffee, who thought that some of the information regarding the Teacher’s demands and your behavior and attitude I have posted are misinformed and incorrect.

So when I got home I placed a call at the only number I had for you and left a message with my number .

In case you or someone who knows you reads this give me a call @ 978-866-8561 or email me at gnutter@comcast.net

I offer this space to you to inform the public directly and unedited where I and others are incorrect when it comes to the Teachers Union.

You snapped at a parent Sharon Hardy at a budget hearing that she didn’t know what the Union gave up, how can we know if you has the Union President are not willing to share with the public.

Send me an email and I’ll send you the invite that allows you to be the author and post what you want without me having anything to do with it. Your words unedited and without any editorial comments or
call me and I’ll post exactly what information you want to share.

If I am incorrect then please, tell or show me where and what I am wrong about. Inform the citizens/parents of Lowell what it is the teachers union is looking for and why you are being unfairly portrayed.

The floor is yours and I welcome and encourage you or any member of the Lowell Teacher’s Union to share your thoughts.

Gerry

Friends of Dillion – McAnespie Park (aka Canney Farm Park) Tuesday June 19th at 6pm

Brian Bond asked me to share this with everyone.

Less than one year since the Ground Breaking ceremony at the old Canney Farm we are about to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Dillon-McAnespie Park. This is an exciting time and we are hoping to get as many residents as possible to the Grand Opening on Tuesday June 29th at 6pm and a rain date of June 30th at 6pm.

This park would not have been possible if not for the investment and commitment of thousands of people in this community. By using Community Preservation funds, as well as the hard work of many volunteers, the Dillon-McAnespie Park will be a community resource for generations to come. The Park is equipped with a great tot lot, rest rooms, storage / utility building, walking paths and lighting everywhere!! There are 3 basketball courts, 1 tennis court, 1 baseball field and a multipurpose practice field for football, soccer and lacrosse.

Please join in celebrating this tremendous community accomplishment on Tuesday June 19th at 6pm at the Dillon-McAnespie Park on Lakeview Avenue. I look forward to seeing you there.

Brian
