The actual wording in the city's press release is "open to all members of the Somerville community". I was just trying to make clear that it wasn't just for city employees and politicians.

They will be checking your driver's license at the door, to make sure you are a resident ;)

Dress down a bit and don't sound so smart and maybe I can sneak you in with me. ;)

purely out of curiosity, does anyone know if such a list exists for Cambridge?

[ron_newman]

This list didn't exist until I compiled it yesterday.

Here's a list of Harvard Square holiday events, grouped under the odd name of "Sparklefest". The latke party and the skating rink opening look interesting.

Coldwell Banker's Holiday Bazaar for the SHC

[colorgarden.livejournal.com]

Coldwell Banker is sponsoring a Holiday Bazaar on Wednesday, December 5th, from 5PM to 8PM at 313 Highland Ave.

Local artisans will be selling their crafts and giving 15% to the Somerville Homeless Coalition (SHC).

It's a great way to get some holiday shopping done and support the SHC at the same time!

P.S. The Somerville Homeless Coalition Facebook group is waiting with bated breath for the esteemed Ron Newman to join. ;-)

Thanks, I added your event. Facebook is something I don't really understand how to use yet.
