Beacon Hill Blotter: We are all in this together

March 7th, 2011 | Author: RepJimCantwell

One of the most significant responsibilities of a State Representative is to connect people who are in need with experts and organizations that provide various forms of assistance to our residents. As listeners of WATD are aware, I recently co-hosted a program entitled “We Are All in This Together” that highlighted services of local, regional, and state organizations to help folks during these difficult economic times.

The recent program occurred at the Council on Aging in Marshfield. I am presently scheduling a similar program for Scituate for those who wish to come. Here are some resources for those in need of services:
