Today, Saturday, July 10, 2021 is the first day volunteers are onsite to help build the South Shore Habitat for Humanity house. The work is taking place at the corner of Burgess Avenue and Highview Street in Westwood. The house build is expected to take 9 months to complete.
Additional volunteer opportunities to help build this home are available and will continue to be updated at SSHabitat's site. At this minute, one volunteer slot is still open for the next build day of Saturday, July 17, 2021. Build days begin at 8 a.m. and run until 3:30 p.m.

Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 40 and low of 27 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
