Events Calendar Now Shows [Age Group] and All Ages
Use the Adult, Teen, or Kids Calendar Tabs from this website? You may have noticed you've not seen an event occasionally, like an art demonstration or a concert. That's because those events were categorized as All Ages, not as Kids, Teens, or Adults. We have rectified this in our calendar tabs.
However, please note if you start with the main calendar showing all events, that you will have to do the same if you filter events manually, by selecting [Age Category] AND selecting All Ages at the same time.
State Databases Cut Starting July 1

Note: Some of the cut databases are available to Mass. residents online through the Boston Public Library - the Library of the Commonwealth—so get a BPL eCard today!
Ayer Answers Collection Ending June 30
The Ayer Shelter ANSWER group wants to thank all of you for your interest and support over the last 1.5 years. Your participation and your donations have been so generous and helpful to the Shelter Residents and have meant so much.
The Ayer Shelter is closing June 30. No families will be "put out on the street" and every attempt is being made to find them housing and jobs. If that hasn't been secured by June 30, the families will be moved to other shelters. We will continue to collect diapers and baby clothes until the end of June.
Thank you so much.
