I'm posting this cause I think it's important. Especially considering the recent shooting in East Somerville.

> The Somerville Women’s Commission invites you to come to Foss Park on August
> 9th to “Take Back the Greenspace”.  Everyone deserves to feel safe in
> Somerville’s parks and open spaces.  In the past year, several sexual
> assaults in the park have threatened women and girls’ comfort and safety in
> open spaces.  We want you to join us as we acknowledge the pain of the
> survivors and also help to create safe spaces for all.
>
> The event will include speakers such as Mayor Dorothy Kelly Gay and Jen Hill
> from Groundwork Somerville, safety demonstrations by Model Mugging, tables
> from local organizations with information both on safety and enjoying and
> enhancing open spaces, and reggae/blues music by Ken Selcer and Friends.
> The event will take place near the pool house in Foss Park from 4-7pm on
> Saturday August 9th.  Foss Park is located between McGrath Highway and

not to sound cranky, but in the future you may want to edit out the ">"... it just makes me feel like I'm getting a forward and therefore I'm naturally biased to ignore the content as spam.
