What is the likelihood you would meet any of these folks at a Hartwell CC, 
between the hours of 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM?

We meet at events like you have just described - at DeCordova, at Pierce House 
( First Day, 4 th of July), at Codman Farm, at the Library, and sometimes at 
events at the schools ( Town Meeting, eg), and Winter Carnival.
…just a few examples.


…just a reality check.
