Community Path Clean-Up, Saturday

[somervilledog.livejournal.com]

The Friends of the Community Path and the Somerville Dog Owners Group (som|dog) are co-sponsoring a park clean-up on the Community Path, Saturday, November 5, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Clean-up headquarters are on the Path outside Lexington Park. Please join us!

In addition to cleaning up the Path, we will also be replanting the mums outside Lexington Park. Thank you to Ricky's Flower Market, in Union Square, for donating the mums!

Refreshments will be provided! Thank you to True Grounds, in Ball Square, and a generous Somerville dog owner for donating coffee!

Thank you, too, to the Department of Public Works, for supplying tools for the clean-up. Volunteers are encouraged to bring work gloves, rakes, brooms, and flat-head shovels/dust pans.

(Note: Please make other arrangements for your canine companions: Dogs are not allowed on the Community Path.)

SUM ATM Network - only required to have 60% of their ATMs in network

A friend of mine told me that there are signs at the Wainwright Bank in Davis Square stating that the ATMs there will no longer be a part of the SUM ATM Network.

Apparently, as long as 60% of a bank's ATMs are on the SUM network, they can be a member of the SUM network. (A representative from Wainwright told me this on the phone)

Is it me or is this a gaping hole in this SUM network? One of the reasons I went to Wainwright was because of the SUM network. If 40 percent of all SUM network ATMs went away, that makes it a lot more difficult to find a surcharge free ATM. It's not too difficult to make an adjustment in your daily routine; but when you're away from your normal surroundings it makes it much more difficult to find a surcharge free ATM.

Scoop on Medford Daily Mercury?

Checking out a Medford convenience store the other day, I spied the Medford Daily Mercury. Aside from its being in existence for about 100 years, anyone know anything about the demographics of its readership?

Voice lessons?

I would like to learn to sing properly. I've taken basic lessons and have a reasonable concept of pitch. Does anyone have recommendations for a good but affordable voice teacher in the area? Rock prefered. I have a very limited budget.

Thanks.
