Be careful! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Robert Winters <Robert(a)rwinters.com> Date: Sat, Dec 9, 2023 at 1:36 PM Subject: [Porter square] Roofer/Masonry scammers are out again today To: PSNA <portersquare(a)googlegroups.com> The Roofer/Masonry scammers are out again today - Cambridge. This is the card the scammer is giving to homeowners. It's a fake company. I have already called the police. The scammer has an Irish accent and will claim to be working in the neighborhood and saw something such as a chimney that he'll claim needs repointing or something else made up. Beware! Call the police if you see him and get a photo if you can.[image: side 1] [image: side 2] -- View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/portersquare/topic-id/message-id -- To post to this group, send email to portersquare(a)googlegroups.com Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/portersquare To unsubscribe from this group, send email to portersquare+unsubscribe(a)googlegroups.com For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Porter Square Neighbors Association" group.

Apparently what I sent wasn't readalbe. This poster, forwarded by Clothware, might be more readable: Our South of Porter band of shops is having a Holiday Stroll next week. Here is our poster. Individual shops will offer their own deals and treats. Snowflakes will designate the (13) participants. I'm attaching the .jpegs if you want to promote online or printout. *Happy Holidays!* Louise CLOTHWARE [image: Inline image] -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com

06 Dec '23

Dear friends, Please join me for my annual winter community gathering at Raymond Park on 106 Raymond Street on Saturday, December 9, from 10-11:30 am. This is a chance to connect in person, discuss legislative updates and constituent concerns, and enjoy coffee, hot chocolate, and doughnuts. There will also be cookie decorating, so please bring your family. If you are able to join me, please consider bringing a box of diapers that will be donated to the Cambridge Community Center and Transition House. Located 2 miles from Raymond Park, the Cambridge Community Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to effectively and efficiently meet the evolving needs of youth, families, and seniors living in Cambridge and its surrounding communities with innovative programs and services for over 90 years. You will have a chance to learn more about the Center’s amazing programming, from a food pantry that also supplies toiletries and diapers to after-school care and mental health support. You can learn more at cambridgecc.org. Transition House is a Cambridge-based organization with the goal of ending domestic violence in the community. They offer many resources for those experiencing domestic violence including an emergency shelter, a 24/7 hotline, counseling, and legal advocacy and court accompaniment. You can learn more at transitionhouse.org. If you know that you are coming, please RSVP — it is not required, but it is helpful for us to get a head count. You can email Marjorie.Decker(a)mahouse.gov or call 617-722-2130. Looking forward to seeing you there. Sincerely, Marjorie [image: Facebook] <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001G62pAnr73uZ3gYNVrMXl53o7TbWL-MV4UPwWYx4B6Tz…> [image: Twitter] <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001G62pAnr73uZ3gYNVrMXl53o7TbWL-MV4UPwWYx4B6Tz…> [image: Instagram] <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001G62pAnr73uZ3gYNVrMXl53o7TbWL-MV4UPwWYx4B6Tz…> -- Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com
