Metro Mayors Basketball Tourney at Trum Field

[amantone.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone,

My name is Amanda Linehan, I am a Central Street resident and the Communications Manager for MAPC, the group that's hosting this event. It's free and open to the public, and this is the second year in a row it's been hosted in Somerville. Join us Saturday!

WHAT:
Law enforcement officials, youth services workers and local teens will join together for the Annual Metro Mayors Basketball Tournament on Saturday, July 31, in a show of solidarity among youth and those who fight for their safety. Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, Somerville and Winthrop will send teams to a five-on-five tournament hosted by the Metro Mayors Coalition as a way to promote safe summer activities and kick off the coming school year.

WHO:
The Metro Mayors Coalition is a collaborative group that brings together 13 mayors and city and town managers from the Greater Boston area to find common solutions to shared problems. The tournament is funded in part by the Charles E. Shannon, Jr. Community Safety Initiative, which promotes a regional approach to addressing youth and gang violence throughout Massachusetts.

WHERE:
The tournament takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Somerville's Trum Field. Play begins at 9:30, with lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There will be prizes and a three-point contest. The rain location is the Somerville High School Gymnasium.

WHY:

Shannon grant funds provide resources to support both prevention and enforcement measures in the battle against youth- and gang-related crime. The Metro Mayors Shannon Grant Community Safety Initiative includes such organizations as Teen Empowerment in Somerville. These groups use the funding to support programs offering at-risk and court-involved youth the opportunity to turn their lives in a new direction. Police departments across the region also use the funding to support the Metro Gang Task Force and “hot spot” patrols on urban streets. Referees and entertainers will volunteer their time, and local businesses have donated supplies such as food and basketballs for the event.

The public is invited to come and cheer on their local team!

missing a small white dog?

[fader-mcgee.livejournal.com]

If your small white fluffy dog (very friendly, much like a teddy bear) has gone missing, she's been found nead Bay State and Mallett, and the woman who took her home is getting in touch with animal control - call animal control to recover your dog, probably tomorrow during business hours.
Sorry, I didn't get the woman's name who took the dog home, so I can't put you in touch with her, but at least you know the dog's okay. Dog was equipped with a collar but no tags, seemed in good health and quite happy, but without human supervision and maybe a little peckish. I'm sure she's getting fed even as I type this.
