From this issue:

Hello Boston!

It’s summer in the city and the heat is on!

In this August issue of Boston Seniority Magazine, you can learn all about our City’s Parks Department and the exciting efforts they oversee. Their work in our Emerald Necklace, urban wilds, and historic burial grounds keeps Boston clean, green, and beautiful. They are also home to Boston’s Park Ranger Mounted Unit, which brings safety and joy to our parks—especially for our little ones.

On top of that, you’ll get the opportunity to meet Age Strong partner organization, The Kennedy Center in Charlestown; learn about the senior nutrition program; and meet the newest Age-Friendly-certified businesses.

There’s so much going on across our neighborhoods: join our free summer movie nights, dance to live music, soak up the sun at our parks, cool off in our pools, or sing along at our golf course concert series. Pick the activities that work for you and don’t miss out on the fun!

Finally, municipal elections are just around the corner, with the Preliminary Election on September 9. This year, Boston residents will vote for Mayor and City Council. Make sure you’re registered to vote by August 30, and double check your local polling place.

See you in community,

Michelle Wu
Mayor of Boston
