🗓️ SAVE THE DATE: April 26th 🗓️

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! 🛶☀️

The 27th annual Dudley Pond Run held on a sunny October 5 was a smashing success,
with more than 180 participants, a big increase over last year. We had 119 individually
registered runners and competitive walkers, one team with nine runners and 13 fitness
walkers. Some 41 kids competed for running prizes.

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!
