Public invited to participate in ‘Flags for Our Fallen’

R Flags for our fallen

Region – With Memorial Day just weeks away, many municipalities are planning commemorations and tributes. But now there is another way that citizens can help honor veterans, by purchasing small American flags that will be displayed as part of a large group of flags in either Shrewsbury or Worcester.

The initiative, “Flags for Our Fallen,” was started last year by Shrewsbury resident Amanda Sullivan. With the help of Liberty Church officials, she sold 1,500 flags leading up to Memorial Day, for $2 each, for a total of $3,000. Those flags were then displayed at the church’s 495 Hartford Turnpike, Shrewsbury location and at the New England Dream Center (NEDC) in Worcester. All proceeds were donated to NEDC programs that support veteran initiatives such as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome support and workforce training.

Westborough-icon-for-CA-web-page

Westborough – Herb Chambers may soon need to add one more thing to his “We’ve got it” jingle: competition.

That’s because the Planning Board heard the development plans of CarMax Auto Superstores – a nationwide used car retail franchise – to become the latest auto dealer along Westborough’s Route 9 strip during its May 14 meeting.

Seeking to utilize a plot at 170-178 Turnpike Rd. – the site of the former driving range next to Bertucci’s – CarMax requested an excavation permit from the Planning Board to begin developing 16 acres of the 50 total acres they intend to purchase at that location.
