Hi Ruth, I’m a North Cambridge resident and I work at the Cambridge Community Foundation. We’re hosting a ‘everyone is invited’ block party Saturday, Oct. 14 and I’m reaching out to see if you can help us circulate this invitation to the Porter Square neighbor networks and if you have other suggestions on ways we can get the word out to your communities. We have flyers and could provide those if businesses are willing to post. You’ll see this event is tied to our new strategic plan for Cambridge, and would be very happy to come and present to your board or a community meeting if that’s of interest. I’m providing some copy on the event below, in addition to the attached invitation. Thanks for considering this request and please let me know what you’re able to do! All best, lauren More information about the Oct. 14 block party: The Cambridge Community Foundation is the foundation for all of Cambridge, working to ensure Cambridge is vibrant, just, and equitable for all.
