Join us for our annual Spring Meeting! We’re kicking things off with dinner at 5:00 PM followed by the meeting at 5:30 PM. We have a lot to catch up on as we head into the warmer months. Location and more details to follow. A quick update on the Winter Social: We weren’t able to reschedule it before the thaw, so we’re officially postponing that party until February 2027. But don't worry—with spring and summer around the corner, the pond is going to be buzzing with events very soon! 🛶☀️ ❄️ Event Update: Too cold! ❄️ Due to the forecast of frigid temperatures, the Dudley Pond Association has decided to postpone this Sunday's Winter Social. We want everyone to be able to comfortably enjoy the fire, hot cocoa, and community company! We are working on finding a new date and will announce the details as soon as they are finalized. Please stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, stay safe and warm! ☕️🧣

Rodrigo Gonzaga of Framingham took the laurels among male runners while Lauren Casey of Wayland outpaced the women. Henry Stimpson of Wayland won the walking race. Thanks to all of many community businesses that generously sponsored the race and our hardworking DPA volunteers! VIEW RESULTS HERE: THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
