Congratulations to the Moss family on the dedication of the “SFP2 Delton (Pete) Moss US Navy Korea
And
Clara (Noni) Moss” Square!

The square was dedicated on Saturday, October 12th to the husband-wife for Delton’s service contribution in the armed services in the Korean Conflict and his wife Clara, a local hometown hero for saving a young child’s life in the City of Somerville when she was a crossing guard.

The sign hangs proudly outside the family residence at the Intersection of Richardson Street and Richardson Terrace in Somerville.

The dedication was provided by the city of Somerville to the Moss Family.

Congratulations to the entire Moss family for this honor!

 

Food, Glorious Food In The VILLE

People all around the county will mark Food Day on Thursday October 24, 2013 – a celebration of healthy, affordable and sustainable food around the country.

While one day might be enough for everyone else, we decided we needed a whole Food Week. Join in the fun by hosting a public event, offering an education session, creating a specialty meal, or finding a creative way to promote healthy, affordable and sustainable food.
If you’re planning an event that’s open to the public, email the details to shapeupsam@somervillema.gov by October 14 and we will add it to the City’s Food Week calendar and promote it via Facebook and Twitter.
For more information on how you can get involved with Food Week, contact Rachel Plitch at 617-625-6600 ext. 4321 or rplitch@somervillema.gov. Stay tuned for a full Food Week schedule.
