Somerville Senior Picnic Unthoughtful Cancel

How unthoughtful and embarrassing is this? 400 Somerville seniors signed up in advance for tomorrow’s Annual Senior Picnic, that has been pushed off for the past few years ,and now was going to be held at Trum field. 

Tonight the city canceled tomorrow’s senior picnic due to inclement weather. Unfortunately, this update came out at 4:00PM today and of course Somerville City Hall is closed for the day, so now our seniors have no way to call anybody and ask for more guidance and clarification. It would be only common sense and courtesy, but that’s what our current administration lacks. 

You would think that the mayor’s office would’ve used the next day, Wednesday, as the rain date, but her office responded that “It was complicated?” How complicated is a “Rain Date”? 

Another bizarre part of this is that she turned the picnic into a “drive-through”. How many seniors really drive?  Especially when it’s pouring out?

We realize that you can’t control the weather, but you can make better decisions by using common sense! 
Mismanagement and bad decisions begin at the top!
