3. Memorial School will celebrate Spirit Day on Sept. 30.

4. The 2013 Fall Annual Town Meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm on October 17, 2013 at the Natick High School Auditorium. Technically, it will begin on October 15, 2013, but the presence of the Primary Election for Congress on the same day presents a conflict. Therefore, the first full session of Town Meeting will be held on Thursday the 17th. Twenty-three warrant articles appear on this Town Meeting's Warrant. Town Meeting members and the public at large are encouraged to utilize this webpage as a resource after Town Meeting. Updates and some handouts passed out at Town Meeting will be posted here as soon as possible. Broadcasts of Town Meeting will be found on Natick Pegasus, Government Channel (Comcast Channel 9, RCN Channel 15, Verizon Channel 28).
